The Lion & The Lamb

Vinton, Iowa.

1892 Victorian mansion with seven fireplaces. Each guest room has a private bath, queen size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan & TV. Murder Mystery Dinners are our specialty.

Bed and Breakfast Description

To highlight the unique architecture, seven colors were chosen to detail this beautiful "Painted Lady". Inside you will find seven fireplaces each with ornate wood & tiled mantles. Walk through pocket doors into rooms with ten foot ceilings and parquet floors. Behold vibrant fall colors through stained glass windows. Ascending the beautiful open staircase from the oak paneled Great Hall, is only a sampling of the six species of woodwork through out the home.

You'll want to relax on the front porch swing while sipping iced tea or a tall glass of lemonade. Visit with your host and other guests in the parlor or perhaps you may want to just retire early to your private room.
