The breakfast buffet each morning is fantastic, and full of so many choices (boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, yogurts, bagels, waffles, fresh fruits, juices, etc. On the first floor, there is an enclosed pool on the inside of the hotel. Additionally, there is a small pub that serves only wine and beer. It's small and intimate. There are about five tables. The rooms are well-maintained, and I love that they keep everything eco-friendly. For example, they only change bedding every three days during your stay unless you request otherwise.

She found a suitable substitute and didn't even charge me for it. She is my Christmas angel. If her employer sees this they should do everything in their power to keep her. Maybe a raise or a bonus. Because of her I believe I'll have a wonderful vacation. Also we arrived early and they got us checked in. Not only checked in but in rooms next to each other. Another employee to recognize is Carol. She was working breakfast and was helpful with a couple of things. I.E. I asked for a wet washcloth because the napkins don't hold up well for large messes. She brought me a warm wet washcloth.

However, I was provided with a contact number should I need anything and my key was waiting for me when I arrived late that evening. I was most impressed with how well I slept due to the quiet silence permeating the entire lodge. My meditation and Yoga practice felt deeper than anywhere I've experienced. This hotel is in the countryside just a couple miles from the municipal airport, 6 miles to the center of town (Fairfield). It's also close to Maharishi University of Management where students, faculty and staff practice Transcendental Meditation twice a day. There are no conveniences like a market, gas station or restaurant near the hotel. Most of the suites have kitchens and there are a few grocery stores in town. There are several wonderful restaurants in town as well. I would recommend this hotel to any traveller who is not too high-maintenance.

Virginia is a lovely host - present if you want her to be, and absent if you don't, which is something some other B&B's haven't figured out. :) The Stone Mansion is in a convenient location and much more comfortable than the hotels in the area.

The innkeeper was kind and welcoming, but also gave us space...breakfast was plentiful--eggs, sausage, toast, and coffee. They do take special dietary requests, and asked us about that when we arrived... Our room (we stayed in the main house) was decorated with antiques and wonderful old quilts, and faced the iron wagon bridge spanning the Des Moines River...we walked back and forth across this bridge several times. Next to the inn are several interesting shops with varying hours of operation...the general store was fun to browse through, and sells awesome homemade fudge. We did not have an in-room refrigerator, and didn't expect one but would recommend bringing a small cooler if wanting to keep drinks or food cold for more than a few hours (I did notice a mini fridge in the dining room)....also, most of the toiletries are provided upon request only. The inn has a colorful past which was fun to read about. If wanting a peaceful and interesting getaway I'd highly recommend staying here!
