Our property was once the County Home until it was closed due to regulatory changes to the mental health industry. The property sat vacant for 2 years as a deficit for the county and its taxpayers. We had a plan to breathe new life into this property by re-opening as a non-profit Art, Community, and Retreat Center.  We are in the heart of the rolling hills surrounding Guthrie Center & Lake Panorama.  It is simply an amazing place.  Please come and see what makes this experience unique.   Learn more about this land: Peaceful farm setting in the rolling hills of Guthrie County, Iowa. Outdoor rustic camping and indoor simple Bed & Breakfast rooms.  10 Rustic Campsites or 1 with water and electric hook-ups for additional $5 night.  Self contained campers welcome.  Ask about our Gathering & Retreat Center with 8 indoor overnight accommodations available.  Sleeps 8-15.  Peaceful farm setting in the rolling hills of Guthrie County, Iowa.

Beautiful views, amazing host!
The views from Firefly were amazing! Brenda was super helpful and let us upgrade to an inside stay when it turned out to be cold, snowy and windy the night we were supposed to be camping there.

Lovely Camping with Farm Animals!
I loved my stay with Brenda! I got to see goats, cows, cats, and horses on this farm. The staff was friendly. We were able to find plenty of different options for parking and tenting. It is a very convenient place to get to as well, just outside of Des Moines. We loved having a variety of seating and picnic table options too.

A peaceful place to spend the night
Brenda was a wonderful and communicative host- she gave us a great lay of the land in advance so we knew just what to do when we arrived. The property is everything we had hoped- beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. An easy and wonderful stay on our cross-country journey.

Loved the sunrise.
It was a very nice night at Firefly. We parked our teardrop in the far back with the chickens. Easy in and out. Thank you!
