An Old Brick German Smokehouse, renovated rooms with Quilts on the Beds- also adjoining newer facility, if that is preferred...in the heart of Amana shopping with food shops, marvelous quilt store, baskets, furniture, woolens, Christmas items, wine and candy, antiques and a meat shop, all within walking distance. Dining is excellent...we recommend the Ox Yoke Inn for dinner-Walts for breakfast-you won't need to eat the rest of the day. We make a trip twice a year just to experience the flavor of the site. Within 30 minutes of University of Iowa Hospitals, and a marvelous Mall.
