Don't judge a book by it's er... cover... or don't judge a store by it's front! This shop has a charming coffee bar at the back that will whip you up anything from a double chocolate espresso to a fruit smootie. They also serve a bunch of home-made breakfast items for that quick bite to eat before heading to the farm lands. There are also a bunch of interesting antiques to look at while your special drink concoction is being made. Located right off of the main square- definitely handy to have this cafe to grab a mocha while purusing the antiques and art shoppes.

Had 2 different pannini, they were good, but the warm blueberry and apple cinnamon scones were great.

Danish Windmill Gift Shop - Fire pit in center of Viking home

Danish Windmill Gift Shop

Elk Horn celebrates its vibrant Danish origins with this windmill and adjacent gift shop. Elk Horn…read moreis the largest Danish settlement in the United States, brought to the community in the late 1800s by immigrants. Thankful for staffer Phyllis, who was kind, friendly, and informative. She made our visit way better! They have fun items all over their spacious gift shop, which focuses on their Danish history. There is a $5 tour of the windmill too. Plenty of parking, a cute park immediately south, and downtown Elk Horn a walk to the north. Located less than 10 minutes north of I-80. Cap this visit off with a stop at The Kringleman Pastry Shop two blocks north, and you'll fully immerse yourself in Danish culture.

Excellent stop in Elkhorn, IA. This windmill was dismantled in Denmark and shipped to IA where it…read morewas restored and reconstructed. Definitely pay the five dollar entry (adults) to go inside! Beside the windmill, the grounds include a Danish Viking smithy and home along with historic Viking information and milling information. There is also a tiny church moved here after being donated by the builders family. Models of Danish homes created by a man in MA who based them on the Danish village his grandparents lived in are on display behind the building in a small fenced area. A bust to Hans Christian Andersen is in their lovely garden area and picnic tables are under the trees near the Viking home. Community bulletin boards are near their private dirt parking lot. The gift shop has so many treasures! Be sure to sign the guest book. At the time of this review, tariffs on goods imported from Europe have increased some prices, but there are plenty of Danish kitchen items, holiday decor, candles, mugs, wonderful toys, candy, mead, glassware and on and on. Definitely plan time to wander around. Purchases support mill upkeep and restoration. The gift shop also serves as an Iowa tourist information point where you will find brochures of other Iowa sights. Very clean restrooms at the back of the gift shop. The windmill is just six minutes south of the Little Mermaid Fountain which is another stop worth seeing. Happy motoring!

Re:Home has been a really run addition to the Winterset square. This store is usually open one…read moreweekend a month, so you have to pay attention to their schedule if you want to shop. The store has a lot of really nice rustic/repurposed home decor and jewelry. The store is packed with many options and is usually quite busy with shoppers looking for the perfect item to take home with them. Sometimes that can make it hard to get around, but it's always nice to see people drawn to the store and community. It has felt like there have been more manufactured or mass-produced items in the store the last few times I've stopped (versus when they first opened). It's also a little high-priced for me. I looked recently and was surprised to see a Christmas pillow priced at nearly $70, and artwork from a local artisan priced nearly 3 times more than I can buy directly from him at shows. Overall, I love the inspiration that the store provides - I always leave with fun ideas of items I might want to create for my own home.

From the owner: Your home is more than the place you live -- it's a reflection of what you like, how you feel, and…read morewho you are. Here at re:home in Winterset, we specialize in capturing our client's dream aesthetics and turning them into tangible, physical, livable realities. With an eye for mid-century modern products, a love for farmhouse vibes, and a whole lot of creativity, we've carefully curated our selection of new and locally made furniture items, jewelry, accessories, decorations, and more. So stop by on one of the ten days a month we're open -- we'd be delighted to welcome you in and show you around.

This is still a fabulous shop even though it is no longer in a cottage by the creek... my go-to place to buy home accents, wedding gifts, holiday ornaments, and gifts for girls and women. The owner is filled with creative ideas.

In a charming neighborhood, you will find Cottage by the Creek, in Des Moines, Iowa…read more It is a quaint cottage surrounded by a flower-filled yard and trees. When you open the door, you meet a perfectly delightful and friendly shop owner. There is a wonderful variety of merchandise that would please a diverse array of shoppers....jewelry, clothing, kitchen items, large assortment of beautiful French tablecloths, home decor and much more. I bought two great necklaces made from Tagua seeds from Ecuador. I just love them and have received many compliments when I wear them. They are so attractive and unique. I also purchased a gorgeous rectangular French tablecloth in blues and yellows and some cute kitchen towels. In my shopping I also acquired a stylish top with a lacy edge and a fishnet type top to go with it. The shopkeeper also has many artistic wind chimes for your patio. Mine has a metallic dragonfly and colorful beads. If you can't make it to her shop, she also has a stall at the awesome Des Moines Farmers Market every Saturday for 6 months of the year. That's another thing that you should definitely experience! What a great little shop, full of such interesting things! Wish it was in my city!
