Natural Gait

A Vision of Harmony with Nature

Howard and Donna Bright, seasoned hospitality professionals and avid nature enthusiasts, envisioned a place where people could reconnect with the natural world. This vision became reality in the founding of The Natural Gait. Nestled between the Mississippi River, Yellow River State Park, and the bluffs of Northeast Iowa, this unique collection of accommodations offers a peaceful escape into the heart of tranquility.

Ion Inn Cabin: A Sanctuary for Relaxation

The crown jewel of The Natural Gait, the Ion Inn Cabin, welcomes up to 14 guests in a spacious and inviting atmosphere. This beautifully appointed cabin boasts a cozy living area, fully equipped kitchen, and multiple bedrooms. With window air conditioning, a wood-burning stove, and a large deck, it's the perfect retreat for families, reunions, or any gathering.

More Than Just Accommodations

Beyond the stunning cabin, The Natural Gait offers a multitude of ways to connect with the surrounding natural beauty. Explore the Yellow River on a guided kayak or canoe trip, or simply relax by the riverbank and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Shuffleboard, tetherball, birding, and fishing are just a few of the activities available on-site.
