Moravia, IA

Travel Guide

People say that Mid America is the most boring to drive through. I half heatedly disagree. Driving expressway, your right, but, get off the freeway, take a highway. It becomes one of the best places to drive. Big fields, old farms, old houses, Amish, green fields, and fences. New things every half mile. I was fascinated how driving through the same thing, farms, could still be new and interesting for hours. Best part...you can average 65 😉 or better. Only 10 miles below expressway speeds. So get off the expressway, find a parallel highway and enjoy rural America.

Staff members were an honest friendly bunch, felt truly genuine. After a few minutes up in our room they called up to make sure everything was to our liking and if there was anything they could do for us to help feel more comfortable during our stay.

If the beach is closed, or you don't have $350 to rent a boat for 4 hours and you didn't bring your own food, there's not much to do here.
