Wide River Inn — Hotel in Le Claire Township

We loved our stay in Le Claire this past weekend. This apartment is on the second floor above the Wide River Winery. It is spacious, very clean, with everything you need if you want to make your own meals. There is also a private parking space behind the apartment. Anything you want to see and do is within walking distance so we didn’t even use our car. We checked in at the Winery and Jack greeted us by name as if we were arriving at his home for a party! We had a complimentary wine tasting because we were guests for the weekend. He talked about the wines, recommended activities and events to see in town and made restaurant recommendations. Jack shared lots of great information and he greeted us by name many times over the weekend. There is a cute little patio outside the door. We pulled right up to the edge and had a front row seat to the live music on Friday night while we drank wine and enjoyed a cheese and sausage plate from the Winery...recommended and served to us by Lily. We also enjoyed coffee on the patio the 2 mornings we were there. Cody Road Coffee Shop is only a couple doors away. From start to finish, a great weekend at the Inn. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly, efficient and personable. And, of course, we bought some wine...

Cozy and spacious B&B located above a tasting room. It’s a one bedroom apartment with a full size kitchen/small table for two, a dining room with a table for four, a large living room with a pull out couch, and a nice laundry area and bathroom. Two heaters on the walls were ample for keeping us warm during our winter stay. Communication was always on time and I had no issues coordinating our stay. Family-friendly too, which is rare for B&B’s in my experience, so you can feel free to bring the little ones along (or leave them at the grandparents)...if you bring them, there’s plenty of space for them to run around.

The wine was fantastic. Every bottle we sampled was excellent (we tried all the dry wines, and some of the sweeter ones too...ask about So-Sue-Me-Sue).

Lastly, we traveled there immediately after a blizzard and had some difficulty getting our vehicle up the icy back alley, but our gracious host was extremely helpful and came out to help dig/push. And of course, neighborly Iowans stopped to assist as well.

All in all, we had a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend adding this to your hip-pocket list for last...

It was a great visit. The wines were wonderful and atmosphere was perfect. The rooms were more than enough and their were lots if great things in the town to visit. We also visited the other, production facility. Very nice We will recommend to our friends....
