We sit on our own 9 acre bluff with ancient Indian mounds above us, forest behind us, and one of the oldest towns on the Mississippi in front of us where eagles soar. Come try one of our Murder Mystery packages or wonderful River Boat Excursions. Our concierge service includes making arrangements for tee times at the Bellevue Country Club, arranging canoe trips on the Maquoketa River, dinner reservations in area restaurants, tickets to local sporting and theater events in the surrounding areas and other information on tourist related activities. Mont Rest is close to several large floating gambling facilities and ski resorts. All rooms offer fresh flowers, Victorian furnishings, central air conditioning, TV, VCR, computer lines and phone and either queen or king size bed.
Most rooms feature large whirlpool tubs, double showers, and working fireplaces.
Our history is rich. Mont Rest was built in 1893 by a wealthy land developer who owned hotels, gold mines and paddle boats on the Mississippi. A spiral staircase brings you to the tower observation deck that sports a 7 person Jacuzzi . All guests have access to this amenity between the hours of 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. After 10 p.m. only the Angelic Tower Room guests may use the Jacuzzi. We specialize in corporate retreats and seminars.
