Grinnell Heritage Tiny House - On Organic Farm
Grinnell Tiny House is a peaceful space with some of the best views of the farm. Sip morning coffee on the deck while overlooking the majestic views of the prairie, chestnut trees and listening to the birds sing. Take a stroll through the seasonal organic vegetable garden and sit in the hammock under a shade tree. Just a stones throw away from Ahrens Park, Grinnell College and Downtown Grinnell makes it an ideal place for biking to and from events.

Quiet and Convenient!
Nice property and the tiny house was great for a one person stay. Bathroom is good sized. I worked remote from the living area. The mini-split works very well and the sleeping loft stayed nice and cool even though the outside temp felt like 102 a couple of the days I was there. Was able to get in some mornings at the Ahrens park driving range as well as some morning walks in. Great experience at the tiny house on the prairie!

Tiny House / Large Hospitality
Very clean and welcoming. Set near a heritage farm on the northern outskirts of Grinnell. Futon bed on lower level, actual bed in loft space (watch your head!)
Steep stairs leading up to it.
Bathroom relatively roomy.
“Cosy” is a word that comes to mind. It was fun.

Sunsets and sunrises
The sunsets and sunrises are waiting at your doorstep in this location. That's the key benefit to staying here along with minimal to zero light pollution.

Tiny, cozy, and tranquil
Really fun, cute, clean and well laid out tiny house set on a pastoral farm. We really enjoyed our stay here and the hosts were easy to contact. We were here for a sporting event at Grinelle College which was only about a mile away. Great park just down the street with a walking path. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for a quiet getaway
The tiny house is situated on a farm, just off a quiet road. I wanted a quiet solo getaway to work and read, and this was perfect. Check-in was super easy. I had a couple of questions about the wifi and the microwave when I arrived, and they quickly made sure everything was taken care of.
The tiny house had plenty of room. I appreciated the extra space heaters when temps plummeted to -10 for two nights. I put a fan in the loft to move the hot air around, and I stayed super toasty. I grabbed a mini humidifier at Walmart because it got so dry. I loved how quiet it was--I heard a distant train horn or two most nights, but I did not hear much traffic (compared to at home). I was able to focus and work, and Grinnell was the perfect location. I hope to be back in town and will stay there again.
