A one of a kind 3,500 square foot house on the end of a secluded road surround by trees will soon be available for rental by the public through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The Sherburne House, a 10‐acre addition to Springbrook State Park in Guthrie County,
will be available for reservations beginning on May 1 with the rental season closing Oct. 31. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, a full service kitchen, and sleeps 12.
“There is really nothing like this in our state park system,” said Angela Corio, landscape architect with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. “The house is spacious and the setting is absolutely gorgeous with a balcony, patio and entirely surrounded by woods and wildlife.”
Floyd Sherburne designed and built the house himself at age 65 after he retired. He and his wife lived off the land with a large garden, orchard and wood heat.
The rental fee is $200 per night with a two night minimum, or $1,200 for a week. To make a reservation, contact the park at 641‐747‐3591. The house will be on the park reservation system next year.
