Welcome to
"YOUR AMANA HOME" IN THE FAMOUS HISTORIC AMANA COLONIES, IOWA
Nestled along the banks of the Iowa River, just off Interstate 80 and close to Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, you'll find a rare peace and tranquility in a former utopian and communal German religious community. Welcome to our country inn in the Amana Colonies, offering couples, friends and groups a chance to rekindle love and friendship and to "come back home". You'll be glad you came.
As you step inside, you'll see a hallway of photos from the past - real people, real events right here in our little utopian village. Die Heimat Country Inn is a simple, but beautiful structure built in 1856, perfectly restored to give you a taste of days gone by while you experience the calm, comfort, conveniences and tranquility of the present.
Here, you will experience warm and authentic down-home hospitality, homemade food (breakfast is included), comfortable homey rooms and beautiful spaces to enjoy family and friends as you breathe fresh country air, and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the quaint and fascinating seven villages of the Amana Colonies.
You will have access to our knowledge of the history and present day events of the Colonies. Let us help you plan your stay based on your interests; whether they include history, wine tasting, hiking, shopping, food, and much more.
Welcome! We'd love to host you.
Relax in the quiet comfort of your room, outside on our beautiful grounds, or enjoy socializing with the innkeepers and other guests in our common area.
