Welcome from the Iowa Bed & Breakfast Guild! IBBG was established in 1998 by a group of caring B&B innkeepers dedicated to high standards of hospitality and quality accommodations. If you believe as we do, that there is strength in numbers and advantages to be gained by maintaining our individual identities and promoting our diversities, then we invite you to join us!
Iowa Bed & Breakfast Guild (IBBG) members benefit from many services and opportunities available through the Guild, including:
- An exclusive, individual webpage, with links to each member’s own website and email, in the powerful new and innovative www.ia-bednbreakfast-inns.com which interacts with Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest ,ibbg.com, iowacookbook.com, and bbonline.com member listings.
