Ideal space for family gatherings
This property is pure Iowa. A spacious farmhouse on 10 acres of a beautifully maintained homestead, with extra beds in the repurposed buildings for additional guests, ensures everyone space to relax and enjoy the natural settings. The owner has provided lots of amusements - ping-pong, basketball, slip n’slide - to entertain kids of all ages. Reading a book on the front porch in the morning quiet is also enjoyable. My family loves this place, even more after our second stay. Highly recommend to urban dwellers looking to experience peaceful, country living.

Grandkids want to come back
There were 19 of us ranging from 7 to 70. The location was beautiful, lots of trees and not far from town and lakes. Were able to spread out because there are a number of places to sleep. There was lots of things to do and see at the farm. We had a great time,

About the host

Hosted by John Eller

Host profile image
I'm an Iowa native (Born in Des Moines, IA, college at the University of AZ and graduated in 3 1/2 yrs with honors). For 45 years, I have traveled around the world staying at hotels, B&Bs, and resorts. I've learned a lot about what a "Guest stay" should feel like. I'm a Retired IBM sales exec after 30+ years. I covered Latin America, USA, and Canada and retired and moved from California to Okoboji in 2017.

I love the Iowa Great Lakes area and hope to help guests at the RedBrick Farm find the same enjoyment I have experienced over the past 69 years. My passion is helping others.

Why they chose this property

The RedBrick Farm is magical with its serenity, setting, land, privacy, abundant amenities and proximity to all things fun at the Iowa Great Lakes ie restaurants, bars, the lakes and Arnolds Park (only 10-15 minutes away). Its an escape and an experience. Is this Heaven? No, Its Iowa and The RedBrick Farm. This 1925 Iowa farm homestead is a beauty with its private setting, numerous farm outbuildings, nature, trees, wildlife, vegetation and more . Do something, do anything, do everything or do nothing at all at The RedBrick Farm. Enjoy Heaven, IOWA, on your own private 10-acre farm. Read a book, rest in a hammock, swing on a tree swing, walk, mosey, stroll, jog, run the 1.3 miles of trails around the property. Feel the summer, see the summer, smell the summer. Experience tranquility. Its just an "aw ha" place. Perfect for a family reunion or a small wedding. The outbuildings make for perfect photo op settings. The landscaped and cut lawns make for lots of places for fun family outdoor sports and games: softball, soccer, badminton, basketball, football, disc gold and more. The fire pit makes for a gathering evening place to sit and tell tall stories. We even provide the red bench for the story teller. Enjoy a late night movie under the Iowa stars with your own 300 inch movie screen on the grain barn wall and ipad/iphone/laptop projector. We, now, have a 2nd movie screeen and projector. Run to Walmart/Hy-Vee grocery store for provisions (only 8-10 minutes away). Fuel for your vehicles/boats is just a 1/2 mile away (some sundries, too) at Vick's Corner (H86 & H9) You get to experience the best of all worlds....Lake Okoboji and an Iowa farm! A lasting memory with a hand-print on all guest's hearts.

What makes this property unique

Please call for all the added benefits. Too many to list. Oh, the farmhouse office is amazing. Print capability. Highest speed internet. Wireless. Amazing views. Private (double doors close). Do your biz while having fun with your family and/or friends.

The RedBrick Farm is a perfect place for a family & friend reunion. Did I already say that? We have hook ups for an RV, too (no dump station. 50 amp, 30 amp and 20 amp power).

Nearly 1,000 guests from 17 countries and 37 states have visited and/or stayed at the farm since 5/1/21 for family and friend reunions. Everyone loves the Redbrick farm. Three weddings in 2023!

Over 50 on-site amenities, including 10 bikes (the 60-mile bike path is only 1/2 mile away.)
