After attending an event in Des Moines, we wanted to get out into rural Iowa and found this beautiful, modern bed and breakfast in Panora/Guthrie Center, about 50 miles from the airport. Do check out the web site for the interesting backgrounds of the hosts, both retired teachers.

The building and grounds are beautiful and the breakfasts are generous and geared to the guests. The rooms are comfortable with fabulous country views.

Nearby is Lake Panorama, a resort home development on a large lake with a par 3 golf course and next to a full-size course.

This place has the warmth and comfort that most people look for when choosing a bed and breakfast ... and the price is very reasonable for the quality. more
