Welcome to Victorian Elegance at the Blue Belle Inn Bed & Breakfast in St. Ansgar, Iowa, "The Best little Hometown in Iowa", the Blue Belle Inn Bed and Breakfast awaits you! Rediscover the romance of the 1890's while enjoying the comfort and convenience of the new millennium in one of six distinctively decorated guest rooms.
Built in 1896, the interior of this Queen Anne Victorian is highlighted by fireplaces, wood floors, tin ceilings with ornate moldings, and eight foot maple pocket doors. Leaded glass, stained glass and crystal chandeliers set in bay and curved windows pockets create a shimmering interplay of light and color. A gleaming maple banister winds to the second floor and opens onto a balcony overlooking sprawling maple trees, flowers and a fish pond. Candlelit, lace-covered tables, heirloom china and festive foodstuffs featuring German, English, French Italian, Scandinavian or American Country cuisines provide an unforgettable dining experience for weekend guests and local patrons alike.
Curl up in a corner with a good book or explore St. Ansgar's unique Victorian, antique and country stores, tea room, and bridal theatre. Rent a canoe from a local purveyor and float down the Cedar River or bring your bicycle and take a scenic countryside ride. Hunting, cross country skiing, golfing, fishing and hiking are favorite local pastimes. Events at the Inn include concerts, murder mysteries, horse-drawn sleigh rides, quilting, cooking, craft workshops, and various other good times throughout the year.
