OUR STORY

Die Heimat Country Inn is more than a place to stay—it is a living piece of Iowa history. Built in 1856, the building first served as a stagecoach stop and later as one of the communal kitchens that supported the unique communal lifestyle of the Amana Colonies. Over the decades it evolved into a welcoming lodging destination, preserving its historic character while embracing modern comforts. Today the inn continues that tradition, offering guests a warm, peaceful retreat where history, culture, and hospitality come together.

Your Home in the Amana Colonies

Tucked beside the Iowa River and just minutes from Cedar Rapids and Interstate 80, Die Heimat Country Inn offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the historic Amana Colonies.
