Our Story
Where Small-Town Charm Meets a Nine-Acre Sanctuary
FarmPond Inn began with a simple vision: to transform a hidden slice of Nevada, Iowa, into a place where life slows down. What started as a private nine-acre homestead has grown into a multi-faceted retreat designed for those who appreciate life’s simple pleasures—whether that’s a morning paddle across a glass-still pond, a family campfire under the stars, or a quiet moment with a book on the deck.
The Heart of FarmPond
We believe that the best memories are made when you have the space to breathe. That’s why we’ve curated every inch of our property—from the FarmPond Inn and Hideaway apartments to the Boat House—to feel like a home away from home. We are proud to offer a unique "in-town acreage" experience, where you can enjoy the seclusion of mature trees and water views while staying just blocks away from the historic charm of downtown Nevada and local bike trails.
Gatherings and New Beginnings
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of watching our property become a backdrop for some of life’s most important milestones. From intimate Microweddings at the water’s edge to lively family reunions and graduation open houses, we love providing the space where people connect. Through our partnership with Gatherings, we ensure that every event at the pond is seamless, beautiful, and effortlessly relaxing.
Our Commitment to You
Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a milestone celebration, our goal is the same: to provide a peaceful, breathtaking setting that you’ll want to return to again and again.
