Saint Ansgar, Iowa
FOUR WINDS (first floor with private entrance) has solid Brazilian cherry floors, cherry doors and trim, two window seats, and a lovely oak kitchen furnished with dishes, cooking and baking pans, a dishwasher, a self-cleaning electric range, a refrigerator, microwave, desk, and dining room table. The beautiful woodwork throughout was lovingly hand-made by the former owner’s father.
The first-floor bathroom features a modern, walk-in double shower with an Italian quarry tile floor and walls. The shower is fully handicap accessible, with a bench and two adjustable showerheads. A stacked washer and dryer is also present for use by guests and staff.
The living room has a queen-sized Murphy bed with a memory foam mattress, and a full-size futon for comfortable seating during the day and overall sleeping for 2 to 4 at night. The futon is a specially made, front-loading, wall-hugger model made for easy conversion from sofa to bed. We are happy to have one or both units made into beds upon check-in, but they can be set up for easy conversion during the day. These rooms are decorated in subtle shades of moss green, cherry wine, butterscotch, dusty blue, and plum with hand-made window treatments and coverlets. *This floor is ADA accessible via outside ramp.
This place was the perfect place to stay in St Ansgar.
It was a very nice, well maintained old home.
Norman Rockwell...eat your heart out. You got nuthin' on St. Ansgar and Gwen. This charming little village in Northern Iowa harkens back to a time and place captured in his paintings. The charm. The people. And then there's Four Seasons...Gwen's precious turn-of-the-century Victorian gem . Decorated in her artistic touch, Joanne and I marveled at every detail. Even a basket filled with breakfast goodies on our doorstep the first morning put there by the Breakfast Fairy. Serenity, peace, and love. Gwen's charming little house in this equally charming little village...we will most assuredly go back. Who knows...maybe to stay!
