Luxemburg Beauty- The Gehlen House Inn

Nestled in the rolling hills of northeast Iowa, the Gehlen House offers year-round accommodations for calming getaways and/or family fun. One of 34 area buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Gehlen House Inn has 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, a shared kitchen and living room space. Kalmes Restaurant is directly across the street. The space The Gehlen House was established in 1848 by Peter Gehlen, an immigrant from Olm, Luxembourg. The house is built from native limestone quarried from the hills around the village of St. Donatus. Over the years the Gehlen House has served travelers and the community at large, having been a post office, a road-side tavern, and a doll museum. In it's current capacity, the Gehlen House is an inn, providing six private bedrooms with a shared living room, kitchen and upper deck. Four of the bedrooms offer en suite baths while two have access to separate full baths across the hall. A full breakfast is not provided, but we are providing a number of individually wapped self-serve items for our guests. Kalmes restaurant across the street offers carry-out and dine-in options. Individual room listings can be seen under my profile. Guest access When renting the entire inn, guests have access to all 6 bedrooms, the kitchen and living room shared areas, the deck off the kitchen, and all outside spaces. The deck off the kitchen provides entry to the second floor, if you wish to use that door. The front door has a key pad for access and all bedrooms have keys and locking doors. Guests have access to all kitchen amenities and appliances. The barn behind the inn is a brewery/tap room/public space and guests are encouraged to access the space during open hours. Outdoor seating is available in the space surrounding the barn. Other things to note In the back of the property is the oldest barn in Iowa, built in 1839. It has been renovated to offer space for small events and weddings, and now houses our microbrewery, Beer in the Barn Brewery. The barn is open to the public and we serve out of the tap room Thursday and Friday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday starting at noon, April through January 1st. Live music is offered at least once per weekend, usually on Sundays, and other activities such as trivia, euchre and Karaoke are offered throughout the month. Our event schedule is viewable on FB at Gehlen Barn & Inn. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES: We want you to know that we are doing our part to help our guests stay safe by cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces (light switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles, remotes, etc,) in the shared spaces.
