I came to the Blue Belle Inn after learning the other B&B I was at was over charging me. The Blue Belle was very welcoming and gave me a great rate.

Beautifully restored Victorian home with charmingly decorated rooms with children's book themes. Although rooms and dinner were somewhat expensive by our standards, it was a lovely place to stay.
Unexpected but amazing!

This beautiful inn was a wonderful surprise in the middle of rural Iowa. The friendly staff welcomed us and allowed us to explore all of the other whimsically themed rooms, which were flashbacks to the favorite books of my childhood. And the breakfast made me feel like I was in a different decade, with dainty tea cups and delicious food. I cannot wait to come back!

After being foiled by winter snow storms for Christmas 2008 AND 2009, we finally took an anniverasry weekend. Our intent for the Christmas event is to get our family from 4 cities to the one B&B and use entire place. The Blue Belle was very cooperative w/ our weather frustrations.
