Nestled on 73 wooded acres on the edge of Ames, Iowa, Raspberry Hill offers the ability to get away while staying close to everything. We were here for a fundraiser for Cultivating Hope Farms. The time and things to do outside are endless. A lot of well manicured hiking trails, ponds, a small kids area, and plenty of shade to relax with a book.
We'll definitely be back for these events and a night at the bed & breakfast. We had such an enjoyable time with the host visiting about the history of the place & also about our beloved Cyclones! It is a beautiful bed & breakfast venue, was so cozy & breakfast was outstanding! This is beautiful property that is close to everything in Ames, IA, yet it is still a quiet get-away.

My fiance and I were excited to see this venue for our upcoming wedding and after our tour it left us a little disappointed The house had beautiful woodwork and had the warm charm you would expect from a grand home of this period. We were let down by the fact that the gentleman showing us around was a little condescending at times, I'm not sure why because otherwise he seemed upbeat and rather nice. I would mention this gentleman's name but as we entered the residence he did not introduce himself nor bother to know either of our names which is a rough start to a meeting of any kind. I'm sure once

Raspberry Hill is the perfect place for a wedding! The entire place is so whimsical and magical that it feels like you've traveled far beyond Ames, Iowa.
Brad was great to work with while booking and hosting our event. We booked the house for 2 nights so that our entire group of 15 people stayed the evening before and after the wedding.
After postponing our big wedding reception to 2021 due to COVID-19, our micro-wedding at Raspberry Hill last week was better than we could have imagined!

Gina and Brad are such a friendly couple with a beautiful family and bed and breakfast. Me and my boyfriend went to their Valentine’s Day event and it was a blast! Brad taught the couples swing dancing and Gina set out a delicious selection of food. Any event that these two host I would highly recommend going to!

This is beautiful property that is close to everything in Ames, IA, yet it is still a quiet get-away. The house is amazing, with many different rooms to choose from. The grounds host many flowering plants, trees, and shrubs - along with a delightful creek and peaceful pond.
The owners are also wonderful, and easy to work with. WELL WORTH IT!!!

Could not reccomend this bed and breakfast more. Absolutely loved it! We stayed for a weekend with family and it was the perfect getaway. The house is tucked away on a beautiful and well maintained property. Located very close to town but still feels like you are in the country. The house is very large and fun to explore. So many cute bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms to accomadate everyone. The sweetest family owns the bed and breakfast. Brad and Gina are very hospitable hosts and their children are a pleasure to be around as well. If you are looking for a quiet and quaint place for a getaway with

Ever dream of that "perfect" wedding? We had just that at Raspberry Hill!!! The venue was incredible both inside and out!
The acres of lush greenery, ponds, and beautiful land staged the perfect location for our wedding. We were close enough to Ames (to get those last minute forgotten items!) but with acres and acres of land, enjoyed quiet calm surroundings. Our guests also commented about the relaxed feeling they had as they headed down the long inviting lane to Raspberry Hill!
The inside of the venue was relaxed, inviting and simply BEAUTIFUL! Raspberry Hill is spacious and has something for

Enchanting! Raspberry Hill is located just a few minutes from Iowa State University. The house and our hosts, Brad and Gina, were warm and welcoming. Everything was comfortable and clean. The largest room had a sunny sitting area and large attached bathroom. The room had many windows looking out over the wildflower gardens with a door that opened directly from the room out onto a large stone deck. The breakfast was also good. As soon as I mentioned my food sensitivities, Gina knew just what to make – having children with similar sensitivities. I did not know msg-free and gluten-free could tastes

Raspberry Hill bed and breakfast is the perfect getaway in Iowa. Nestled in 75 acres of gorgeous land while minutes from a great university town and everything at your fingertips! The property is amazing with custom craftsmanship throughout. Gina and Brad will make you feel right at home. The breakfast was amazing with all local and organic products. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here. We plan to return with our friends this summer!
