Nestled on the banks of the beautiful Des Moines River, Bentonsport is one Village of Van Buren County that was among Southeast Iowa's very first settlements. This antique hotel was built in 1846 by Mormon craftsmen coming from Nauvoo, Illinois as a hotel for the steamboat travelers. It has been used as a hospital three different times, and was also a station on the Underground Railroad. Still today, 179 years later, the Mason House Inn continues to run as a fully-functioning Bed & Breakfast full of history. Book your stay today to dive into the serene riverfront relaxation. The Mason House Inn is always needing restorations and upgrades. Please click the button below for donation information.
