Our Story

The Byrum family stands in front of their house, the White Haus Homestead in rural Iowa.

Hello and welcome to the White Haus Homestead (pronounced house, but with a German accent). We are the Byrum family and we are so glad you are here! We are just an average family with a great American Dream - we moved from Montana to Alaska in 2023 and after spending 2 years there, felt a pull for something else. So we Zillowed our hearts out and landed on a random property in small town Iowa. We sold most of our belongings (again) and drove across the country (2 counties actually, hello Canada) to start our happily ever after chapter. We have big plans for these 6 acres, and we can’t wait to share it all with you!
