I stayed here for my annual visit to Iowa--the University of Iowa is my alma mater. The owner, Daissy is a very welcoming, friendly and kind host.

What a delightful experience. This home is beautiful, and the owners couldn't be better. They are…read morekind, helpful, and very interesting people. And the breakfasts--oh my goodness. Delicious.

You'll be greeted by a heaping pile of home-baked oatmeal cookies AND an adorable & friendly pug-beagle named Jemma. The Blue Room on the second floor has a private shower and toilet, all very clean, and a comfy bed with armchair + mini-fridge. Self-service tea is right outside the door. Our weekday breakfast included lemon blueberry scones baked from scratch, oatmeal apple muffins (zucchini muffins the next day), and a giant, sizzling cheese-mushroom-onion-tomato frittata with coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and gourmet teas. Oats and flax also available. Organic berries and cantaloupe. Will definitely stay here again if ever back in town... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I wish I could give a rating of infinity!!!! Renee and Jim are absolutely wonderful people. We…read morereally were treated like family. We rented the cottage for a few months, on and off, and it was so comfortable and home-like. Super clean! Renee made sure we didn't want for anything, and she makes THE best pumpkin bread! They went out of their way to help with anything we needed. The property is beautiful and well kept and is close to anything you might need. The bed is amazingly comfortable with pillows galore. Ohhh and the jacuzzi tub!!!! It fits two people easily and is just heavenly. There's a skylight and plants which for me, was so relaxing. Looking to get married? Jim has you covered. (Found that out at the end) Do yourself a favor. Instead of staying at a large hotel, dealing with lobbies and other guests, stay in the cottage. PS. After having Renee's pumping bread, I wish we had opted for the breakfast!!

The food was excellent! The carriage house is very cozy. There is a small refrigerator, ironing board, microwave, and even bottles of water for the guests in a shared area. The room I stayed in twice was on the main floor with a very comfortable bed with nice linens, sofa, and table with good lighting. The bathroom is small but had everything I needed including a nice shower. The entire place was spotlessly clean. Access to the carriage house was easy. Parking is in the driveway. I felt very safe at all times. The outdoor gardens are beautiful. Shelley shared books of pictures of the storm that went through a few years ago and destroyed a lot of the trees. The damage was terrible but seeing their place now you'd never know that storm ever happened. I was heading north and stayed at Belmont B & B on the way up. I loved it so much I wanted to stay on the way back. They were booked full so I changed my travel dates so I could stay here. If I'm ever passing through Cedar Rapids again, I'll hope to find a room open so I can stay a third time. The location is not far off the beaten path and a short distance from Amana Colonies. I almost forgot to mention the other guests were so nice. Both times our breakfast conversations were interesting and genuinely enjoyed. Stay here! If they have an opening book it as soon as you see it so you do not miss out!

Shelley and Ken have converted the carriage house of their historic home into comfortable rooms with period furnishings but also modern amenities like WIFI and satellite television. The grounds are extensive, and must be a great pleasure in warm weather. Breakfast is awesome! Delicious food and plenty of it. I enjoyed chatting with the other guests, and hearing the history of the property from our hosts. Though I don't have any dietary restrictions, Shelley did ask about that, so I'm sure they could accommodate those if necessary. Belmont Hill is an unexpected bit of Victoriana in a neighborhood of '70s ranch homes, though separated from them. If you are looking to be "where the action is", it may not be for you. But if you want friendly people, a comfortable room, good food, and a relaxing "no pressure" atmosphere, Belmont Hill is definitely your place.
