Shepherd's Inn
It's hard to believe, but our new facility is almost finished! Many hours have gone into planning, fundraising, constructing, decorating, more planning, more fundraising...and we're so delighted to be in the final stages! If you are looking for accommodations for an individual or couple or have a small group, consider this beautiful facility. A spacious great-room with lots of natural light greets you as you enter. Three levels house five bedrooms furnished with a queen bed and one bedroom furnished with two twin beds. Each bedroom has a private bath. A fully-stocked kitchen (bring your own food, of course!) will make meal preparation easier. There are gathering areas on main and lower floors, and an upper loft has a casual study corner. An elevator provides access between main and lower floors. Outside, the wrap-around deck joins a screened-in porch enabling guests to sit and enjoy nature sights and sounds. Linens and towels will be provided in this facility and guests will be able to be rent by the room or the building in entirety. Dedication of Shepherd's Inn will coincide with our 30th Anniversary celebration on May 2. We are currently accepting donations to retire the construction fund, and we have registered at Target and the Kalona Community General Store for home furnishings. If you would like to donate to this project, go to Get Involved or contact our Administrator, Mary Lou Farmer. For information on rental possibilities, contact Julie Bontrager, Admin. Assistant.
