WHY IS IT SO SPECIAL?

​

Be prepared to immerse yourself in Victorian elegance at the Blue Belle Inn B&B, located in the "best little Hometown in Iowa" - St. Ansgar.

 

Here the romance of the 1890's is ready to be discovered, with six distinctively different guest rooms awaiting you. The rich past perfectly blends with the modern elegance, giving you the comforts you need for that romantic Midwest escape.

 

Dating back to 1896, the Queen Anne Victorian property features beautiful original and antique interiors, including fireplaces, wood floors, and eight foot maple pocket doors. All highlighted by stained glass and crystal chandeliers.

 

Explore the second floor via the maple banister leads to a balcony where you can take in the view of the maple trees, colorful flowers and fish pond.

 

Each of the rooms are individually decorated, so search the one that's right for you. Some of the rooms have those extra romantic features that can really make your stay special. Plum Creek allows you to bubble in your own jacuzzi tub for two, or sip wine in front of your roaring fireplace, as does Heaven To Betsy.

 

A Wrinkle In Time dates back to the 1950s and is a small bungalow immediately to the east of the main house, with a "shabby chic" style.

 

If you want crisp, modern decor, Blue Belle Inn B&B isn't for you. Here, the rooms have character, they have history, they have charm.

 

The area of St. Ansgar itself is a beautiful place to explore. If you want that magical small town experience, this should be on your list. Your days can be spent taking in the energy, exploring the unique antique country stores, canoeing down the Cedar River, or getting out into the great outdoors at your fingertips.

 

So step back in time for that Midwest romantic escape, and treat yourselves to a little piece of Iowa history in, as they say, the "best little Hometown in Iowa".

DON'T MISS:

Don't miss some of the events they hold at the B&B, including murder mystery parties, horse-drawn sleigh rides, cooking, craft workshops, and concerts!

​

GO THAT EXTRA MILE:

For that extra level of privacy, Anne's House of Dreams is a great accommodation option. Self-contained, yet only a few feet north of the main house, this building dates back to 1891 and resembles something out of Anne of Green Gables. It is also handicap accessible.
