Iowa Writer's Retreat

A dog trot style cabin in southern Iowa for graduate students, authors and creative people to get away to work… a green, sustainable ranch retreat, far from noise, distractions, and close to major hubs.

Graduate Students, Song Writers, Annual Report Authors

My novel, Concealed: The Book of Joshua was written entirely here at Two Mile Ranch. This is an ideal place to do a block of writing, or a committed time for page proofs and line edits as part of your review. The wi-fi and internet will let you stay connected, without being interrupted by everyday distractions.

Stay for a Week - or Longer

The writer’s retreat is set up to host you for an independent stay for a week – or longer if you choose. The kitchen is outfitted with cooking and living needs, you are free to cook for yourself, or dine out. The retreat is smoke free
