I'm a transplant to Northwest Iowa, so when I discovered The Hen House years ago - with its…read morebig-city charm, gifts and home decor options in a small-town setting - I fell in love. I often tell the owners that if The Hen House ever leaves town -- I'm outta here, as welI! The Hen House is my favorite shopping destination in Spencer. I also love to bring my out-of-town company to experience it for themselves, because it's tons of fun! They offer amazing seasonal items, baby gifts galore (ear of corn chew toy is my favorite staple gift), house wares, kitchen/dining, funking jewelry, pillos, lamps candles. . . Oh, and to receive a gift card from The Hen House is like finding a little lump of precious gold in your pocketbook.

They went above and beyond for us and for that I am grateful for this once in a lifetime moment. We were able to be at venue Friday night for rehearsal, all day Saturday for the wedding, and Sunday to clean up. Which I know most places don't allow. The venue itself is beautiful. Lots are flowers, gardens, and birds chirping. The reception was outside and food was set up inside which was nice. They also allowed the reception party to go on till midnight which was awesome. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

The Wash House is an upscale gift shop located in the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes area. I love…read moreto browse all three floors and really take my time shopping. They have all kinds of unique and interesting items, plus the products are usually displayed in a pleasing manner. With no retail neighbors or walk-by traffic, Donna and Ann Muilenburg know their gift shop is a destination for their customers. Parking is not a problem for customers and the Wash House has a big farmers porch that Donna and Ann use like a display window and expanded selling space in their busy season. In the summer months, the porch is stocked with fresh plants, decorated with garden decor and sometimes flags that flow in the wind to catch the eye of customers as they drive by. In the early Fall, the porch can be found filled with pumpkins, gords and fun outdoor decor. Like myself, most Wash House customers have been shopping there for years. They know they can always find just the right gift for most occasions when a quality gift is called for. Prices range from moderate up, depending on the item.
