Historic Stone Farm Inn & Venue | House in Winterset
4 Bedroom House in Winterset
Welcome to Stone Farm Inn, an 1856 farmhouse in the countryside of Madison County, just 60 minutes from Des Moines. Built by pioneer John Robert Drake, the home has been thoughtfully restored as a place for women to gather, families to reconnect and friends to slow down together. Designed for meaningful gatherings, intimate celebrations and weekends that feel almost cinematic, Stone Farm Inn is not a typical rental, but a storybook farmhouse made for connection, intention, and slower moments.
Our livestock guardian dog, Luna, lives on the property with the sheep. Her job is to protect the animals, and that occasionally includes barking through the night if coyotes are nearby. We do our best to keep her in with the flock, but if you know Great Pyrenees, you know they take their responsibilities very seriously and sometimes make their own decisions. Most guests find her presence reassuring, but it is part of country life.
We happily welcome well-behaved pets with a small fee. When guests bring their own furbabies, we make arrangements to have Luna safely confined so everyone feels comfortable. Just let us know in advance so we can prepare accordingly.
You may also meet Evelyn, our barn cat. Despite the name, Evelyn is very much a boy. He moves between barn and house as he pleases and considers himself quietly in charge of the property.
Surrounded by nature and dotted with photo-worthy details, Stone Farm Inn is where historic elegance meets contemporary style—perfect for creating memorable experiences. Our spacious farmhouse offers a unique blend of vintage character and cozy design. Each room is thoughtfully styled to balance comfort and beauty, ensuring you feel relaxed and inspired throughout your stay.
Bedrooms:
Stone Farm Inn features 4 bedrooms, each with its own personality. Enjoy luxurious pillows, comfortable beds, and decor that blends antique accents with a modern, relaxed vibe.
Bathrooms:
1 full bathroom, including a stunning clawfoot tub, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the countryside.
Living Areas:
Relax in the cozy living room with comfortable seating, soft throws, and a curated selection of books. From game nights to craft circles, this is the heart of the house where connections happen.
Farmhouse Kitchen:
Fully equipped with modern appliances, our kitchen is perfect for everything from casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners. Gather and enjoy the view of the surrounding farm.
Outdoor Spaces:
Relax by the fire pits or take in the breathtaking sunsets over the fields. The expansive outdoor area features lounge seating, 2 fire pits, and a charming view of our sheep, goats, and an alpaca who may just wander by to say hello!
Guests have exclusive access to the entire farmhouse and private yard area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene countryside views. Feel free to unwind in the courtyard, gather around one of 2 fire pits, or enjoy a quiet morning coffee while watching the animals in the nearby pasture.
Please note that the surrounding barns and fields are part of a working farm and are not included in your stay. However, if you're looking to host a special event—such as a wedding, reunion, dinner party or retreat—our barn and additional outdoor spaces are available to rent. Just let us know, and we’ll be happy to help customize your event to create a truly unforgettable experience. Send us a message to inquire!
We want your stay at Stone Farm Inn to feel like a home away from home! While we respect your privacy, we're just a message away if you need anything during your stay.
