Rows of fruit trees, a still pond, and nothing but fields to the horizon.
Our Waterbury homes sit on a working orchard in the rolling hills of Dixon County. Spring brings clouds of apple and cherry blossom. Summer evenings are long and quiet. Ponca State Park, the Missouri River and Sioux City's riverfront are all a short drive away.
Book direct
Same homes as on Airbnb, without the guest fee.
Stay a while
Weekly and monthly stays for crews, nurses and families.
Room for groups
From a studio for two to a house that sleeps ten.
A real host
Questions go straight to Manjula, not a call center.
Off shift at the orchard
Walk the orchard rows at golden hour, pick an apple in season, or sit by the pond and listen to the birds after a long shift.
Seasons at Mixon Orchard
Apple season at Mixon Orchard
By late summer the branches are heavy with red and green apples. We turn the harvest into our own Mixon Orchard apple butter and hand-dipped caramel apples, sold at local farmers markets.
Bluffs, river towns and Friday-night pizza
Hike the Missouri River bluffs, grab a burger at a small-town grill, or spend an evening on Sioux City's riverfront.
Things to do & places to eat
