Victorias Vineyard B & B

A gem just minutes from Altoona, Ankeny, and Des Moines. The breakfasts were delicious and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. I could tell Victoria takes great pride and care in the B&B and her guest’s experience.

Stayed at Victoria's Vineyard B&B for 4 nights following a conference in Altoona and used for our home base as we explored the region. Only 25 minutes from the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge and an hour from Lake Red Rock. So glad that we found this hidden gem. It is one of the nicest B&B's that we have stayed at. Our 1st floor room was good sized with private bath, impeccably clean with large picture window overlooking a small pond/wetland area. You have access to the grounds for walking and as birders, this was a nice plus. The setting provides for a quiet relaxing place to come home to after a day exploring. What puts this B&B over the top is that Victoria is so friendly and welcoming and is also an amazing chef. I am gluten sensitive and she didn't hesitate to say yes, she

Lovely, lovely home! Carefully furnished with eye to the smallest of details. Victoria is a very warm and accommodating person; she takes pride in her b&b. Everything is nice and clean too. My husband & I had the downstairs room with en suite bathroom, good air conditioner. We had the place to ourselves (another guestroom & bath upstairs). Walked the vineyard, fields, lakes and forests on the property. We enjoyed her outdoor hot tub. Next morning, served a wonderful, Spanish style breakfast, all delicious and fresh. Unique set-up and a great find! Will definitely stay here again, without a doubt.

Beautiful, quiet home centrally located near Des Moines and other quaint towns. We came here to explore the many beautiful Iowa bike trails and stayed for 3 nights. The house was exquisitely decorated. We stayed in the downstairs room. There were so many little touches to make our stay more enjoyable from the gorgeous landscape, to the little chocolate next to our pillows, fresh popcorn with butter in the refrigerator and choice of coffee or teas, accessibility to bottled water and full kitchen, board games, gorgeous outdoor salt water hot tub, access to swim in their beautiful pond with gazebo with beach towels on deck, luxurious towels, wonderful toiletries, bug spray if we went walking, among many others. Victoria truly made us feel at home with her delicious Spanish breakfasts made fro

A unique b & b. We stayed on our way back to Wisconsin from seeing the eclipse in Nebraska, so of course we were hours late (heavy traffic) and arrived in the dark in the rain; we'd communicated with Victoria by phone and there she was, waiting in her car with the headlights on at the end of the driveway so we wouldn't miss it. Typical of our stay – outstanding in every detail. The b & b is actually a beautifully furnished modern home with upstairs and downstairs bedroom suites (just 2 of them), built for a family member who took a job elsewhere in the US after a few years. So Victoria and her husband (they live in a different home elsewhere on the extensive property) made it into a b & b. Upstairs (entrance floor) is one bedroom suite, a beautifully equipped kitchen (guests can use it, we
