Reasons to stay
"Simple comfort on the road — exactly what you need. "
Baumgartner's Backbone Lodge sits along State Highway 410 in the quiet town of Strawberry Point, Iowa. We're not a chain hotel with a clock on the wall — we're a straightforward place to sleep well, wake up refreshed, and keep moving when you're ready.
Whether you're passing through on a long drive, visiting family in the area, or just need a night away from the usual noise, we've got a room waiting for you. No frills. Just a clean bed and a warm welcome.
Every room is cleaned and stocked before you arrive. Call us to check availability and reserve your stay.
A no-fuss room with a comfortable queen bed, flat-screen TV, and everything you need for a solid night's sleep.
More space for the whole crew. Two queen beds, extra seating, and room to spread out after a long day on the road.
The full experience. A king bed, a separate sitting area, and extra space to make your stay feel like more than just a stopover.
Rates vary by season and availability.
