The Little Brick House - Walkable to the Square Dining & Shopping

Welcome to this charming home near the downtown square of Winterset, Iowa. Known for The Bridges of Madison County, this town offers so much to do in a weekend. Our little town offers two wineries, two taprooms, a cidery, a brewery, a meadery and a Speakeasy. Many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors on the sweet little front porch of this home, shopping the square (just 4 blocks away), visiting bridges, hiking the Winterset City Park 2 mile loop or a picnic by the quiet Cedar Lake.

This bungalow was just recently remodeled and provides a peaceful retreat! The primary bedroom has a king bed, tv and attached half bath. The 2nd bedroom features a "cloffice" for office use or cosmetic & hair purposes. It has a day bed with trundle (see photos). There is a full bathroom in between the bedrooms. The living room features a 65" TV. The kitchen has a Keurig with K-cups included or bring your own favorite flavor. Kitchen is stocked with dishes, utensils and pots/pans. Currently the yard is being reworked, however the front porch is a darling space to enjoy coffee or wine!

This was a very clean, recently updated house in an excellent location near downtown. The furnishings, decorations, and kitchen furnishings were perfect. The second bedroom only has a twin day bed with a lower twin bed that pulls out. This was disclosed and it was comfortable. Overall a great property and recommend for parties of 4 or less.

My friend and I both recently lost our husbands to cancer, we met at this lovely little house to grieve, share, and heal. The house made us both feel at home. We chose the following words to describe this spot: charming, warm, homey, whimsical, clean, comfortable, chic. Rochelle was an attentive host, leaving us a note about recommendations of things to do in the area and alerting us to what was open each day of our weekend. This little brick house is big in comfort and warmth and reflects the warmth of the host.

This was an amazing house to rent. It was super cute and clean. It was walkable to the downtown. We stayed during the Bridges of Madison County festival and we were able to walk there. The host was great at communicating. I would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Winterset.
