New Day Dairy GuestBarn - Clarksville, Iowa

We loved our stay at New Day Dairy GuestBarn!! Our two grandkids said it was the best!!! We loved everything about it! Loved looking out the loft windows right into the cow barn. We were able to have a tour with Lynn and we followed Farmer Dan one day and helped out with the chores. The GuestBarn was well stocked with everything we could have needed. We can't wait to come back and visit again!!

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic stay. Two calves were born, one which we watched from above. The furnishings are wonderful. We grilled steaks, went for walks, and enjoyed the quiet ambiance of the farm. Dan and Lynn were wonderful hosts, and a font of interesting information about all things cows and dairy.

We just spent a cold and snowy weekend 'sleeping with the cows' and loved it! The rooms/beds are so comfortable (each with it's own bathroom!), the kitchen was well stocked and had lots of yummies for breakfast both days. We learned so much during the intro and farewell tours and we found we could spend quite a bit of time just watching the cows. There are multiple towns nearby for daytrips. But, there are games and books if you want to snuggle in. The hosts were extremely easy to connect with and eager to ensure we had a great stay. I can't think of anything that could have improved our stay!

New day dairy guest barn was such a wonderful stay for us we enjoyed it so much. we loved how spacious the barn was and how there was a full kitchen! we also loved how there was a view of the dairy barn we could see all of the cows and we even saw 2 being born and got to name one! Dan and Lynn were so kind and friendly! would definitely stay again.

My boys ages 10 and 13 and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute of it. My grandparents had a small Holstein dairy farm and retired many years ago so they never got a chance to experience it.

It was so peaceful with gorgeous flowers and amazing decor inside. Sitting upstairs at the window and watching the dairy floor was such a unique and interesting experience, which sparked lots of questions and great conversation with the kids. The great informational posters and flip charts were perfect for both kids and adults.

The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook and had a great breakfast provided. The bedrooms and bathrooms were gorgeous, I could have stayed for a week.

Lynn and Dan were great at adapting for my boys who are on the autism spectrum so they can be quirky and don’t always love to do the same things as other kids. We can’t wait to go back next year. The boys loved the kitties and the baby cows as well as “rosie” and finding out how she works. We even got to see the milk truck when it came to do a pick up.

Amazing stay! Far exceeded all of our expectations. We brought our family of six young kids and the hosts were amazing with kids! We had an absolute blast learning about the farm, the animals, and even got to feed and name the baby calves born while we were in our stay. The viewing window was so unique and special. The details provided in the home and kitchen were extremely well done. The hosts were extremely helpful, kind, and generous!!

We gave our 4 grandchildren - ages 2-6 - an adventure at NewDay Dairy for their Christmas gift this year. After rescheduling, due to extreme cold and snow, we finally were able to go this past weekend and it did not disappoint! They were so excited to see the cows from the viewing windows when we first arrived. Lynn was great when giving us the barn tours. The kids and adults loved learning about the farm and playing with the cats. We got to feed calves and milk a cow with the "Be a Dairy Farmer Challenge" with Dan. Dan and Lynn are great hosts! The Guest Barn was clean and well stocked with everything we could have wanted. A great place to play hide and seek, games, color and read books. I would definitely recommend the New Day Dairy for a fun family adventure.

New Day Dairy GuestBarn is such a fun experience! Not only do you have the feel of a house as opposed to a hotel room, you get to experience a working dairy farm! The how is well stocked with necessities and breakfast foods/drinks. Dan and Lynn are great hosts! They both take the time to answer questions and get to know your family. The cows and barn cats are fun to watch. We have stayed in the GuestBarn twice and will be back!
