Lake Ahquabi offers a walking path around the lake, mountain biking, fishing, paddle boats, canoeing and swimming. The park has just been renovated for additional enjoyment.

This is an active farm with chicken's, goats, horses and cows. There is plenty of space for quite walks, hunting Morel mushrooms in the spring, fishing in the pond in our vast backyard, bird watching and just the peace and calm of rural Iowa.
We also have a play area with swing set and slide for the children. A favorite is a tree swing that can be enjoyed by all.
Bikes/Trikes (we have helmets)and outside toys for the children to use and play with. We also have fishing poles to use and worms, and life jackets, but do require an adult down at the pond when fishing.
With this property being an active farm we are often out and about working with the animals and doing outside upkeep. There will be people coming and going to purchase eggs and other farm commodities.

The farmhouse that we stayed in was clean and beautifully decorated throughout with chicken and farm themes. The doilies and other touches made it feel like old times on a farm. We watched farm animals and farm activities. We relaxed, read books, roamed the farm, and enjoyed nightime firefly shows.The kitchen offered lots of snacks, fruit and freshly laid eggs. We barbecued ribeye steak (from The Hen House's own cow) on the grill. This was a perfect place to stay while in Indianola for the Des Moines opera season. We look forward to staying at The Hen House again next year.

We had a WONDERFUL time at the Hen House! Our girls were overjoyed with all the toys, books, games, and puzzles to play with, not to mention the swings, bikes, fire pit, animals, and everything else! Lori and Lee are AMAZING hosts and truly have got you covered for anything you can think of!There’s absolutely no question that when we come back to Indianola, we’ll be staying here again!
