From booking to checkout, Allison (Host) was top-notch. Great communication, gracious and hospitable. Beautiful 1800's interior with all needed updates and comforts of today. Well stocked / equipped kitchen. Quaint decor emphasizing train themed history of the town and the home. In town for to ride Santa Express and Allison went above and beyond with tasteful holiday decor and gifts for the toddlers. Highly recommend 607 Guest House and will stay again when return in summer for the pedal train!

Beautiful home with original oak floors and trim. It was warm and cozy for a winter stay. The ground floor bedroom and half bath were perfect for the grandparents who would prefer to avoid steps. Host shoveled the snow several times to ensure we safely walked to the car. I want to go back in warmer weather just to sit on the inviting front porch!

We only had an overnight stay here, but we were very impressed with the accommodations and the attention to the guests needs. We loved the special touches like the multiple options for coffee, tea and cocoa. They also provided snacks and breakfast choices of oatmeal and pancakes. Alison was very prompt with answers to any questions we had and worked with us for an early arrival time. Definitely a 5 star review from us!

Our family loved staying at the 607 house. It was a convenient location for visiting with family in Boone. The house is very clean and charming. Our grandchildren loved all the details added for kids and counting all of the trains throughout every room. We used the front porch often. There was plenty of seating for all of us to visit, play board games, and watch cars go by. We enjoyed the breakfast choices left for us in the kitchen, and the beds were very comfortable. We plan on staying here again soon.

Lovely property. Super clean. Beds were comfy. Loved Boone-Oply. Close to town. Within walking distance. We ate at 2 places in town. Both food and service were great. Whistle Stop & El Viejo. We came into town for Rail Explorers which was a blast! If we are ever in Boone again I would book again.

We had a wonderful stay at the 607 Guest house! The decor was exquisite, the house was spotless, the host was awesome. It was easy to get to and easy to get in. We were treated like guests not housekeepers!We spent the evening on the front porch watching/listening to the rain after our trip on the bike rail.

The place was perfect for our needs- its a real easy quick drive to ISU where we attended the football tailgate. So much more affordable than the crazy hotel room prices during game weekends! The house was clean and perfect space for our group. Super comfy bedding, clean baths (one up and one down). We loved the unique character of the home and all the little extra touches- interesting to learn about the Boone history. LOVED OUR stay and would recommend and book again.

Weekday getaway

My friend and I stayed here while we were planning to Ride the Rail in Boone IA and do a little site seeing. We absolutely loved the house, location, ambiance and wonderful communication of the owner. There was just 2 of us but plenty of room for at least 8-10 people. The house was exceptionally clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was exactly as advertised. Within walking distance to all the shops as recommended by the owner. we visited a tea shop and massage place and the ladies there were so kind. We plan to return for more time with our families. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

Everything we were hoping for and MORE

This home is gorgeous inside! All the history with modern touches. The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. You're literally blocks from adorable gift shops for the entire family to history galore. We felt safe in Boone the entire time, reminded me of an area close to where I grew up in ND. Little touches within the home were caredully curated to make your stay as enjoyable as possible (down to My Pillow pillows!). I could go on and on. We would love to return to Boone in a heartbeat!

Om värden

Värdens profilbild
Current owners, Eric & Alison, bought this property after it had been left vacant for a few years as their first home and have worked on restoring some of its natural beauty, charm and history while incorporating modern day conveniences. The couple formerly from Illinois, raised a family in the home while restoring it until they moved to "newer" Boone home built in 1870. We love the character and charm that "vintage" homes bring and it takes a special person to appreciate the "challenges" that they often present too, but it is rewarding to see History Come Back to Life!

Varför värden valde detta boende

Next to downtown Boone, it's walking distance to many attractions and restaurants including: Boone Scenic Valley Rail Road & Rail Explorers, Boone River Valley Brewing, Downtown Boone, Mamie Eisenhower's Birthplace and a short drive to the Ames and Des Moines areas. If safety is your concern, this friendly neighborhood property is located 5 blocks or 0.3 miles from the Boone Fire Department and located 5 blocks or 0.3 miles from the Boone Police Department.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

This is a ONE-OF-A-KIND vacation rental to EXPERIENCE. Formerly owned by Railroad Tycoon, John Insley Blair, this is a 150+ years old home that was built in 1867. The same year the first railroad tracks were laid in Iowa. Immerse your stay in the Boone, Iowa experience with the added artwork, decor and charm themed with Trains, Iowa and the Midwest in this vacation property referred to as the 607 Guest House.

The home’s interior has been restored to bring back some of its natural beauty, charm and history, while incorporating modern day conveniences like a heated bathroom floor and Zoned Central Air Conditioning System. From refinishing the 150+ years old heart pine floors to restoring the interior wood windows with functional weights & pulleys and maintaining the original lead glass window panes, it’s an ongoing process that we will continue to the exterior. While you enjoy the Iowa/Midwest history and train decor throughout this home built in 1867, please remember to leave a 5-star review for others to find this unique experience too.

*BONUS*
The 607 Guest House is excited to be a PREFERRED PLACE TO STAY with the Rail Explorers, Boone, Iowa Division!
