5 out of 5
It was a perfect place for us to stay overnight. Brenda was extremely accommodating, kind, and interesting. The rooms are all spotless and attractive. The breakfast was wonderful - "homemade" and individualized. The internet was perfect. The rooms, of various sizes, are all on the second floor with no elevator which may be inconvenient for some. This is a place where people return and Brenda becomes "like family."

So dear to OUR heart !

We had the pleasure of staying at Brenda's home along with 10 other guests during the recent biking event in Iowa. Brenda warmly welcomed us and gave us a brief tour of her beautiful home before taking us to the "blue room" where we stayed. Everything was clean and comfortable. If we needed anything, Brenda was more than willing to help. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast homemade by Brenda. What a way to start the day. We would not hesitate to recommend So Dear To My Heart to others.
