Honey Creek Resort Welcome to Honey Creek Resort, a stunning lodge nestled along the shores of Iowa’s largest recreational lake. Honey Creek Resort is the SWEETEST spot in Iowa!
(3036)

Surrounded by 800 acres of natural beauty, adventure awaits around every corner! Honey Creek Resort is truly the sweetest spot in Iowa! Situated on 850 acres of pristine wilderness in southern Iowa on the shores of Rathbun Lake. The resort features a lodge with 105 beautifully appointed guest rooms. Our grand lobby welcomes you with a 60 foot high, two sided fireplace with Frank Loyd Wright inspired architecture. The artwork throughout the property is inspired by Iowa wildlife and it’s native prairie. Guests staying in the Lodge are steps away from the Prairie Rose Bar & Grill, Amelia's Cafe, and our indoor waterpark. Our Lodge accommodations include standard rooms and suites. Looking for something more private? Consider one of our 28 cabins, fully updated to meet all of your needs. Adventure is never in short supply at Honey Creek Resort:

☀️ Enjoy a round of golf at The Preserve, our championship golf course.

☀️Fish and boat on Rathbun Lake--the lake is our backyard, after all!

☀️See Rathbun Lake from one of our paddle boats--will you be a duck or a swan?

☀️Hike the grounds and marvel at the wild flowers and wildlife that roam the property.

☀️Climb aboard Honey Creek Express, our miniature train that travels around the resort.

☀️Grab the kiddos and let them slide and splash at our indoor waterpark.
