Southeast Iowa Fall Getaway

Sep 28

Even though this year’s fall has been warmer than usual, there’s no better time to enjoy the beauty and charm of Southeast Iowa. Crisp evenings, colorful leaves, and the promise of pumpkin spice everything make autumn the perfect season for a getaway—or for inviting friends and family to experience the place we call home.

This fall, Fort Madison Quality Inn & Suites and Cobblestone Inn & Suites are offering special weekend rates under $100 per night. Guests who stay overnight will also receive an exclusive Fall Coupon Booklet, filled with savings at attractions, restaurants, and shops across Southeast Iowa. It’s our way of saying, “Stay the night, stay awhile.”

Fall Favorites

From pumpkin patches and pig races at Harvestville Farm & Appleberry Orchard, to artisan cheese at Hinterland Dairy, and even up-close encounters with elk and bison at Quarry Creek Elk & Bison, the season is full of family fun. Add in the charm of Van Buren’s Villages, the Scenic Drive Festival, and the famous Dutchman’s Store, and you’ve got the perfect mix of fall adventures.
