#303 The Victorian Suite, Apartment "A Winter Retreat in Boone, IA

This, the Victorian Suite, is one of our more luxurious suites in Historic Goeppinger Building located in Boone, IA. It is the perfect setting for honeymooners, anniversaries or just a special weekend retreat. The suite has a queen sized canopy bed made up with fine linens. Our guests comment that the bed was the most comfortable bed they ever slept on. The mattress is the kind that allows two people to sleep comfortably but when one sleeper moves during the night, the other isn’t supposed to feel the movement. Apparently it works!

A dressing room with a desk/make up table is next to a full bath with a sink, stool and a tub and shower combination. The shower has a waterfall head. Guests comment on our big white organic towels and mention that they are so fluffy.

The spacious kitchen has the original cabinets from 1935 and the original inlaid linoleum. It is fully equipped with a full sized stove, full sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee pot.dishes. The kitchen has cookware, an assortment of dinnerware, from casual to bone china, flatware utensils and a supply of coffee. There is a cute little table for two for romantic dinners.

Our building is old, circa 1915, and it is lovingly restored. Antiques and historic information are displayed in the building with a Wall of Fame, giving credence to the original owners of the building. Located right in our building is Kelly's Salon 908, a men's vintage clothing store, the Haberdashery, and Belluci's Pizza House. Kelly has been in our building for 20 years, The Haberdashery for 7 years and Belluci's Pizza House has called our building home since 1965.

Boone has something for everyone. Just down the street are the Boone Theater, several antique stores, a variety of restaurants, a women's clothing store, some consignment shops, the bakery and a local brewery. There is a grocery store one block away.

A most enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon in downtown Boone is a visit to the wonderful history museum on Story Street. It is filled with interesting relics from the past.

If you enjoy downhill skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding in the winter, Seven Oaks is just a couple of miles southwest of town. They also offer summer recreation including canoeing, kayaking and river tubing.

We partner with Rail Explorers, an exciting way to view the Des Moines River Valley. If you tell them you are staying with us, you will receive a complementary Rail Explorer's travel mug.

Other area attractions are the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad and their fabulous dinner train, hiking at Ledges State Park just South of Boone or going to a race at Boone Speedway, You can check out Mamie Doud Eisenhower's Birthplace, another museum near our building, There is also a lot of rich history in Boone County and there are endless possibilities.

Ames is just 12 miles away so if you are planning to attend an ISU game or visit your children in college and want a reasonable place to stay, join us for the weekend.

Great historical place!

I stayed here during the Farm Progress Show and it was exactly what I needed! The suite was clean, comfortable, and I loved the Victorian furniture. The building is 100 years old so has the kind of quirks you’d expect, but the binder in the suite does a great job detailing how to get around the quirks (ex-getting the hot water to the third floor faster). There is also a great pizza place around the corner! Overall, I’d recommend this place. It’s exactly as the pictures describe and very clean.

Perfect location

We selected this suite primarily due to its location, and were very pleasantly surprised. The building is historic and no more than a 15-minute walk from almost everything we wanted to do, from all things related to the train museum to bars and restaurants and shopping. And it was no more than a 10-minute drive to all the things that were too far to walk. It’s a third-floor walk-up which didn’t seem like a big deal for us but might be for others, and had pretty much everything we needed. In addition, Dixie and Brock really went above and beyond to make our stay special.
