Iowa City's Hidden Gem
A refined bed and breakfast on Iowa City's charming Marcy Street — where historic elegance meets the warmth of a true home away from home.
Our Story
For generations, the Plum Grove Inn has stood as a beacon of hospitality in Iowa City — a place where the creak of the front porch swing signals you've finally arrived somewhere that truly feels like home.
Our inn blends timeless architectural character with every comfort you'd expect from a refined retreat. Each room is thoughtfully appointed with period details, plush linens, and the quiet sophistication that comes from a place that values both beauty and genuine warmth.
Whether you're here for a weekend escape, a visit to the University of Iowa, or a quiet retreat into the heart of downtown Iowa City, we invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and let us care for you the way we've been caring for our guests for as long as anyone can remember.
Accommodations
Each of our rooms is a sanctuary of classic design — appointed with curated antiques, premium linens, and the kind of quiet luxury that makes you never want to leave.
A spacious king suite with a private window seat, original hardwood floors, and morning light that pours through linen-draped windows.
Overlooking our tranquil courtyard garden, this queen room offers a sitting area, antique writing desk, and the gentle sound of morning birds.
Perfect for friends or family, this charming room features twin beds, a built-in bookshelf, and the warm glow of a reading lamp at dusk.

Complimentary on-site parking available for all guests — convenient and secure.
