Learn more about Winterset

Wander through John Wayne's birthplace, where his childhood home displays memorabilia that would make The Duke tip his hat in approval. The famous covered bridges of Madison County beckon from nearby countryside roads, inspiring bestselling literature and Hollywood romance. Around the town square, antique shops and coffee spots host farmers exchanging conversation over morning cups. Cedar Bridge and Roseman Bridge offer perfect photography backdrops, while Clark Tower provides panoramic views worth the climb. The courthouse stands proudly at the center, a testament to small-town America that Norman Rockwell would recognize. Pammel State Park offers natural respite when Winterset's charm becomes almost too wholesome to bear.

"No one was on site when we arrived at 11:45. Building was under construction at the time. Had to call a number to get a code to enter the building. Hall way was full of construction materials. Once settled in and finally asleep and resting.. the construction began at 7;00 am. With hammers and banging we were unable to sleep in. Only received approx 5-6 hours of sleep.. had we of known about the building being under construction, we would have stayed somewhere else. The lady present when we checked out was extremely nice, that was the highlight of our stay!"
