     The Gathering Room

The Gathering Room

Your invited...to gather.

Gathering is a time of laughter, celebration, recalling memories that have brought joy over the years, and a time of creating that special time together our hearts often yearn for. But what if...there's no place to gather? Not everyone wants to tidy up their house to have girlfriends over, many don't have space, or maybe a good central location is needed to gather. That's why we created unique spaced in our 1875 historical bank building. We offier space for women to gather in a relaxing and quiet atmosphere, with warm and inviting decor (you might even get a few decorating ideas!)...we think you'll find the perfect place...to gather. 

The Gathering Room and Upstairs Boarding Room Kitchen

Gather your friends and meet up in The Gathering Room or the Upstairs Boarding Room kitchen. Every piece of this special building has been prepared to take you back into days gone by. You and your friends can sit around our 10’ farmhouse table, gather by the fire on our comfy couch and chairs, or enjoy the Upstairs Boarding Room kitchen where meals were prepared. Our 6’ 1800’s general store table is a treasure to sit and have coffee, or enjoy brunch or lunch.

We also offer tours of our 1875 restored boarding rooms. You’ll find so much to look at during our boarding room tours. It's always a highlight for our guests. During the holidays, we're all decorated!

We offer a space to enjoy coffee and visiting with your friends. Or, our breakfast charcuterie boards, or warm cinnamon roll cupcakes are always popular. We can serve lunch including ‘Esther’s Chicken Salad’…and we always have pie! It was a family favorite. Our special is coffee and pie right out of the oven $10 - $12 per person, depending on group size.

We would love to host your group of friends, Bible Study, book club, Birthday party, or anything else you need a unique and special place to gather for coffee, a brunch or lunch, or for a special event.

We are the perfect central meeting place between Des Moines and Omaha. 

If you're looking for a place to gather...we've got the perfect space. We would love to host your small group, or large group!  Plan your gathering and make some memories! We've got a cozy space that will warm your heart. See below for reservation information. 

*You can also enjoy our other unique gathering space...named in honor of The Notebook Cafe Publisher, Shelly Thompson's mother...Esther's Tea Room. Click here to read about this repurposed 1875 bank vault.
