Thornton House Bed and Breakfast

The Thornton House is a grand mansion offering guests comfortable, upscale accommodations with a focus on being relaxing and casual at the same time. Thornton House Bed and Breakfast offers single or double fully decorated rooms with a full size help-yourself breakfast served 8:00am-9:30am daily. Our central location in Lansing Iowa is within a 5 minute walk of downtown shops, four restaurants and a grocery store as well as the municipal swimming pool and other attractions such as the Mt. Hosmer summit with excellent hiking trails and Mississippi River valley vistas of Minnesota and Wisconsin from it's peak. Within a 10 minute walk of Thornton House you can be at the Mississippi River's edge where you can enjoy more shopping, fishing, swimming as well as occasional riverboat excursions. You are also welcome to spend time with the small resident dogs Ian, Olive and Murphy- a rambunctious trio kept separately in the lower level owners quarters. Olive is a Pug that is always ready to eat, Ian, a sharp and friendly toy fox terrier and Murphy is a shy curly-tailed chihuahua/mini pin mix. Their portraits were recently done in oil and you may notice them throughout the house.
