Welcome to the Lexington Inn

The Lexington Inn was established in 1856 as a stage coach stop for the town of Lexington, Iowa. The historic 2-story brick and mortar home remains the only structure from the once thriving village. As business slowly shifted to nearby Bedford in the late 1800’s, Lexington became a ghost town. Aside from the nearby cemetery, what remained of the town site was turned into farmland.

Located just 5 miles outside of Bedford, the property has been recently refurbished into an attractive and comfortable inn, retaining the charm and distinction of years past, while providing the comforts and amenities of today. Bookings are for the entire home so it’s perfect for larger groups of family, friends, or hunting and wedding parties however we can accommodate smaller groups too!
