Even though Iowa is a landlocked state, there are so many beautiful waterfront restaurants out here! One gorgeous historic spot is a great place to dine any time the weather looks fine. Head to the General Store Pub in Stone City, Iowa for a meal you’ll truly love.

You might recognize the General Store Pub when you pull up - it was the subject of a 1930 Grant Woods painting.

For dessert, indulge in a Roasted Marshmallow. It’s soaked in Bailey’s, and you can roast them right at your own table.
