Pretty venue. The outdoor ceremony space is nice. The indoor reception space is very grand and plenty of outdoor space for folks looking to get some fresh air. The location isn't very convenient to Des Moines.

We stayed at Lookout Lodge. Coffee pods, creamer, etc were supplied. Bedding, towels, some cooking items were also supplied.

Very nice venue, lodging was great, $6.00 for a can of beer was a little pricey for a wedding venue in central Iowa
