About this property

The Henhouse-A Tiny Home on Wheels-Pet Friendly

Welcome to The Henhouse! An elegant camper perfect for relaxing and recharging, just minutes from downtown Van Buren—one of the 11 charming villages in Van Buren County. Experience warm southern Iowa hospitality with access to antiques, unique dining, golf, a community pool, two National Historic Districts, specialty shops, resident artisans, and nearby Amish and Mennonite communities. Outdoor adventures await in state parks, lakes, forests, and wetlands, with a boat ramp only 500 yards away.

Unwind in the graveled space near the camper, where you can grill out, enjoy a fire, and enjoy the beautiful views. This outdoor area is ideal for playing, relaxing, and embracing nature! Guests can fish, lounge at the community swing gazebo with a fire pit, play outdoor games, or watch the sunset.

This Army Veteran-owned camper features a Queen-size bed and two fold-out couches, providing a comfortable space for families. Inside, you’ll find an intelligent television, DVD player, free Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette with essentials for a pleasant stay, including a refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, electric skillet, crock pot, K-cup coffee maker, and toaster.

The Henhouse is situated in a private community along the river bottom, with neighbors approximately fifty yards to the right and left. We strive to respect everyone’s space, but please be aware that some noise may occasionally come from surrounding neighbors. We also have dogs on the property that wear collars to help limit noise. Rest assured, privacy is always respected here.

This cozy camper caters to outdoor enthusiasts while being conveniently close to amenities for those who enjoy exploring local shops and attractions.

So peaceful. Beautiful sunset & sunrise views. we can’t wait to go back

Very secluded down a long winding road that comes into a beautiful opening within steps of the river. The property is well taken care of, the amenities are endless! We loved the swings/chairs & communal fire pit. We look forward to coming back with more time so we can utilize all that was there to offer! Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful property & house on wheels (Gorgeous, btw)

Adventure girls mystery trip

Great area, clise to the river. Beautiful St.Park nearby with nice trails and lake. Was a little disappointed in small towns. Lots of businesses closed. But we don't have any trouble entertaining ourselves. Great place to get away to.

Perfection

The Hen House was spotless, modern, and fully outfitted with everything we needed and more. Gorgeous interior with beautiful kitchen and bath. We enjoyed fires, walks along the river and just sitting in the swing watching the river. Very private and secluded. Host was super friendly and there for anything we needed. Would definitely return if we have the opportunity. Their tiny house also looks adorable with a very nice deck area.

About the host

Hosted by Crista Harper

Host profile image
My husband and I are involved in education. This will be our third year hosting guests in our little piece of heaven along the Des Moines River. We enjoy relaxing along the river and letting life pass us by!

Why they chose this property

We live on private property along the river called the "Badlands." This community is very relaxed and enjoyable to be a part of.

What makes this property unique

We have a corner lot that allows people to enjoy the privacy of the outdoors. A boat dock is a little ways down the road, near enough to walk to. We are a part of The Villages of VanBuren, so there is never a dull moment!
