What a wonderful experience we had with our stay. Our room was perfect, breakfasts were fantastic…read moreand your overall kindness was exceptional.

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.

My husband and I were delighted to find this mansion Bed & Breakfast during the 4th of July holiday…read moretime. Barbara, the owner, delighted us with blackberry muffins with the berries from her garden. Iowa-grown sweet hickory bacon and an egg and cheese tart. Barbara has extensive knowledge of local history, suggesting some of the unique sites in the local area to see like the Danish windmill and museum in Elkhorn, the "little mermaid" statue and fountains in Kimballton, replica of the one in Denmark, and the antique mecca in Walnut, IA. We share a love of gardens and Barbara did not disappoint. Her tour of her lush trees and plants was a highlight of the trip as was the intricate woodwork throughout the mansion.

I stayed in the Fireside Room, which is located in the mansion…read more Prior to my arrival, I called Barbara, the owner, & notified her that I would be arriving late. I was able to check in late with no issues. Barbara was kind enough to offer me directions to her B&B. Upon my arrival, the check-in went smoothly. The room I stayed in has a window A/C unit, & was cool. Barbara has a collection of menus from various restaurants around town. Several restaurants are within walking distance from the mansion. The Fireside Room is very spacious. The bed was comfortable. During my entire stay, it was very quiet, which I liked. Barbara arranged breakfast for me the following morning. Juice, water, coffee, thick cut & crispy bacon, an apple streusel muffin, & eggs with tomatoes & herbs. Everything was delicious! I enjoyed my stay at the bed & breakfast. The mansion has a lot of charm, & the garden is absolutely beautiful. Barbara is a gracious host, & I hope to stay at the mansion again!

Owned by a lovely couple, Ron and Carol. A big log cabin-like lodge, seems brand new, and kept…read moreimmaculate. It's situated on 25 acres and along a creek. Traveling here on business, this is a wonderful alternative to the several local hotels. With a motto of "Come here as a guest, and leave as family." -- it's more than true after my 3-day stay. Super comfy bed, and very quiet -- I slept just great! Lots of extra blankets and pillows if needed. Each room has the comforts of your own TV with cable, but I felt more than welcome to be downstairs in the main room with the big-screen TV, a large fireplace, and lots of seating/recliner choices. Free wifi/internet is provided. For breakfast, Carol and Ron both chip-in and provide an excellent breakfast. There are 4 or more choices to choose from, and the night before - just place your order and time - and it'll be ready. I recommend Carol's special scrambled eggs (bacon, cheese, peppers, onions) - awesome! Because of the time of year, it didn't happened to have many other guests. The one downside - it has a shared bathroom. There are several bathrooms within the lodge, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The highlight of the time spent here was getting to know the very sweet people of Ron and Carol. They are warm, open, kind, and generous people who are in the right business of serving others and sharing their home.
