General Information

From the moment you walk through the door Mont Rest transports you back to a lost era of grace and beauty. This historic Inn is Iowa's most luxurious bed and breakfast. Built in 1893, Mont rest is nestled halfway up a 9 acre wooded bluff overlooking one of the most panoramic views of the mighty Mississippi River. Sit in a rocker on the front porch and watch eagles catch fish from the Mississippi. We're the perfect setting for a Honeymoon, Anniversary, or just a get away weekend, and are located near two of the largest gambling boats on the Mississippi.
