Moravia, IA - At Honey Creek Resort your family can experience a rush on a water slide, or enjoy a crisp fall evening on the shores of one of Iowa’s most scenic lakes.
Just a 90-minute drive south of Des Moines, this new, year-round destination will ensure visitors a great getaway.
Nestled on the shores of Rathbun Lake in Appanoose County, Honey Creek Resort accommodations offer stunning views of the lake, with two suites featuring cozy fireplaces, transforming a typical hotel stay into a delightful, peaceful retreat.
Guests can meander through wilderness trails surrounding the resort, or relax in overstuffed arts-and-crafts chairs in the sunny great lodge, which is graced with a massive mosaic fireplace.
The resort’s Rathbun Lakeshore Grille serves up classic American fare and has picturesque views of the lake; a warm fire is always burning. Starters include walleye fingers and baked mozzarella bruschetta, while main dishes range from applewood smoked turkey sandwiches to gooseberry broiled salmon.
Guests looking to experience excitement as the weather turns colder can head to the Buccaneer Bay Indoor Water Park. Float on the relaxing lazy river, slip down the body slide, dance under a watery geyser or stand guard on the interactive pirate ship. If you get hungry, guests can grab a treat from the snack bar and play all the latest video games in the arcade.
If golf is your game, there’s still time this season to enjoy the 18-hole championship Preserve golf course designed for the novice and experienced golfer. It is nestled in the prairie just north of the main lodge with bent grass tees, greens and fairways. The course has a full driving range, putting green and Club Car golf carts equipped with GPS.
The natural setting is sure to inspire both business and leisure guests alike, with a restful lake resort that boasts beautiful amenities and accommodations, in a natural setting.
Thoughtful staff will help guests connect with DNR naturalists, letting them experience everything from stargazing on an evening hike to lingering over a bonfire.
