A refined retreat on historic E Market Street — where quiet comfort meets genuine hospitality in the heart of eastern Iowa.
The Guest House has been a welcoming presence on E Market Street for as long as anyone in Steamboat Rock can remember. We are not a chain, and we do not pretend to be something we are not — we are simply a well-kept, thoughtfully maintained home away from home for travelers who appreciate the little things: clean sheets, a quiet room, and a host who remembers your name.
Whether you are passing through Iowa on a long drive, visiting family in the area, or attending an event in the community, we offer a restful base that is walkable to the heart of town and far enough from the noise to actually sleep well.
Each room is thoughtfully furnished with classic style and modern comfort in mind — so you can unwind without compromise.
A comfortable queen-size bed, work desk, and all the essentials for a restful night. Ideal for the solo traveler or couple passing through.
More space, a king-size bed, and a small sitting area. Designed for guests who want a little extra room to stretch out and settle in.
Our most spacious offering — a separate living area, premium bedding, and refined touches throughout. Perfect for longer stays or special occasions.
We keep things simple but thoughtful — the sort of details that make a stay feel considered rather than corporate.
Stay connected throughout your stay with reliable, complimentary wireless internet.
Ample parking right at the property — no fees, no hunting for a spot late at night.
Individual temperature control in every room so you stay comfortable no matter the season.
Start your morning right with fresh coffee and light refreshments available each day.
No automated kiosk or third-party lockbox — a real person greets you and makes sure you are settled.
We understand travel schedules vary. Reach out and we will work with you on a convenient check-in time.
Situated on East Market Street, The Guest House puts you within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and community events. It is a quiet, residential setting that still offers easy access to everything the area has to offer.
