A few weeks ago, we joined a high school friend and his wife on Friday night for Dinner and a Show. My friend loves this place and was staying here for the weekend. It was more like a fancy suite. This place also happens to be a long walking distance to my friend's childhood home in Superior. The food was OK, service was friendly and fast, the white wine was very good, and the band (who played a medley of popular songs) was a lot of fun.

The Hannah Marie Inn is one of Iowa's oldest and most cherished bed and breakfast establishments…read more Each of their six rooms are individually themed, all have private baths and the food is fantastic! This country inn is located on Highway 71 and is very hard to miss since it is painted pink and has a wonderful country quilt pattern painted on the barn. I've visited this B&B more times than I can count. I adore the owners and love their personal service and great food. You won't go wrong staying with at this great Iowa Bed and Breakfast.

I am a huge fan of the Hannah Marie Country Inn! The owners, Mary, Ray and David Nichols, have…read morebeen operating this B&B for over 23 years and they are the most wonderful innkeeper hosts you'll ever meet. The rooms are all themed, I'm fond of the Northwoods Hideaway, and are always neat and clean. Mary is an artist, so there is always a new touch -- a new floor painting, a new decorate item, a new bed -- something, always something. The food is always wonderful. They use the freshest of ingredients and you can even have your breakfast delivered to your room. If you are visiting in Northwest Iowa, be sure you stay at the Hannah Marie at least once! You'll be glad you took my advice.

We were pleasantly pleased and impressed! Dreamy Victorian/country decor and design. It's spacious and has a neat history! -Interesting use of closets to create bathrooms too! Lynne made us feel at home. She welcomed us at the door upon arrival, gave us a tour, we visited a little, then she gave us our privacy to enjoy. We had a loosely-planned schedule that took us to Ida Grove for wine tasting, a terrific meal, sight seeing and some hiking.  In the evening, we made a point to spend time on the porch at the B&B to sip some wine in some pleasant June weather. It was relaxing! Lynne, knowing these plans from our conversation upon arrival, was so thoughtful and left out two wine glasses along with a corkscrew to open our bottle of wine that evening. Breakfast on Sunday morning was delicious and delightful at a table next to paned windows overlooking the side yard.  We couldn't have been happier! We now have an amazing memory that we will share and tell for years to come! We think the price was very affordable! In fact, we plan to come back in the fall. We highly recommend the Inn at Battle Creek!

The Providence Inn is expertly run by Kristy and Duane Zenk who bought this beautiful property in…read morethe early 2000's and turned it into a showplace. I have spent many many days here in all seasons of the year and have always been treated with courtesy and concern and good cheer. Frankly, it has to be a major pain in the butt to do this right but honestly i have never witnessed, in all the times i have stayed here, a bit of bitchiness or eyebrow raising on either Duane's or Kristy's face. I think those of us from big cities do not expect to be treated nicely unless there is a veneer of anger below but not here. Duane and Kristy are real, down home nice people with nary a bad thing to say about anyone. Each room is carefully curated with pieces of furniture and decoration from the mostly early 1900's. Everything is always clean and fresh. The Morning breakfast perfectly prepared. I remember the first time i drove into town (my 3rd visit to Denison having somehow survived a couple of stays at a terrible motel just outside of town) during a very cold, snowy evening in December. I got lost of course initially then i came upon the Providence Inn: brightly light and decorated for Christmas.Remembering back i actually landed on the doorstep of a neighboring B&B, 3 huge bags in hand probably looking like a stranger in a strange land (which i was). The proprietor looked at me as if i were crazed and directed me around the corner to the Providence. And thank God he did not have any space at his Inn because his referring me brought me to the Providence where i received same. The Providence Inn: I was Home. Or at least from first sight, i felt i was Home. The surroundings certainy felt homey and warm and inviting. I was greeted, after trudging up to the front door by smiling, shiny faces who helped me with my bags and offered me everything from Egg Nog to Hot Tea asking me several times if i were cold with that thin coat and did i need a blanket to warm up. I have spent summer days on the porch (i mean who has a porch in Glendale?), drinking wine and chatting with neighbors who pass walking their dogs. And remember these people do not know me from Adam yet they are just doing what people should do: converse with you, ask to your health. Be Mensches. I love it here. You will too. Just leave your pretensions in Los Angeles, kick off your shoes, take a seat on the porch, open a bottle of something and enjoy Life as it should be lived.

Joan is an amazing cook and provided us with a 3 course breakfast of parfaits, mint and cranberry scones, and a breakfast pizza with bacon.
