Thornton House Bed and Breakfast a Lansing, IA Bed & Breakfast

Thornton House Bed and Breakfast Inn of Lansing, Iowa and close to the Mississippi River is a striking example of classic Italianate architecture. Having been constructed in 1873, the B&B served as residence, Doctor's office and pharmacy for Doctor Thornton and was lovingly held by his family for almost 100 years. The bed & breakfast has been restored and is decorated in a relaxing French country style. Many rooms retain such vintage details such as tin ceilings and original moldings. We also offer the Thornton House Cottage which sleeps 2-4 and offers a fireplace, full kitchen and 2 porches with a full main channel Mississippi Riverview. For breakfast, we serve a help-yourself buffet consisting of a main dish with a variety of danishes, scones, beverages, cereals and fruit.

Our central location is within 5 minutes of downtown shops, restaurants and many other attractions. Within a ten minute walk you can be at the Mississippi River, which offers regularly guided boat tours. Once these boats slip into the backwaters of the river where you cannot see imminent signs of civilization, you will get a real feeling of what early settlers would have witnessed.

Book today and wake up on the river tomorrow.
