The Iron Gate Inn

Our second year staying here. Beautifully restored historic home, large rooms furnished with antiques, and a gourmet breakfast that will really start your day off right! Hosts Donna and Brian and the staff greet you with a smile and welcome you to their home, always willing to chat with their guests about the house and recommend things to do and places to eat. Lovely garden for eating outside and enjoying a glass of wine. Quiet and peaceful, beautiful place to stay in Cedar City. Highly recommended!

My husband and I just finished up our two night visit at the Iron Gate Inn and the experience was phenomenal! The home is gorgeous and the rooms are so cute! It's steps from the Shakespeare's theater, the new art museum, and the cute downtown area. The best part was the breakfast!! Amazing!!! Donna is truly a gourmet chef and I don't think I've had more delicious breakfasts! We live in Salt Lake and are so grateful to have discovered Cedar City and the Iron Gate Inn!

The most amazing B&B that I've ever been to. If you are ever looking for a romantic getaway in an amazing home this is the place. I have NEVER felt more welcome or at home and I have never had such great service not to mention her breakfast is 2nd to none. I wish that I could give more then 5 stars because this place deserves 10 stars. Donna made us feel like we were part of her family and we loved the fact that is was so quiet and peaceful. I love pets and their 3 dogs and 1 cat made us feel at home. The animals are the most well behaved pets that I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Donna gave us great recommendations for places to have dinner at ( the don't serve dinner here ) and everyone of them were outstanding. We will be staying here again and I highly recommend the iron gate inn to everyone who needs a weekend away. Thanks again for the great time Donna, Lara and I will be back.

My husband and I stayed at this Inn for two nights on the last leg of our trip out to Utah’s National Parks. The inn provided a convenient location for attending 2 plays at Utah’s Shakespeare Festival. The breakfast was freshly prepared and the staff was very accommodating. Donna’s recommendation to have dinner at The Lighthouse was perfect for an early fish dinner prior to attending one of the performances at the Festival. The Inn has beautiful flower gardens that surround the house. Bringing them into the Inn would be a suggestion for guest to enjoy!

We stayed here two days during the Shakespearean Festival. The Inn is beautiful and within walking distance to the festival, shops and eateries. The Joy Darling is a comfortable room with a nice seating area and a large shower. Breakfast was delicious and Donna is a perfect hostess and innkeeper. We will be staying here again.

This is a true bed and breakfast at its best. The Inn keepers were not only warm, receptive and professional, they went out of their way to help. With a late check-in, the local restaurants were near closing time, they call a restaurant making sure the restaurant would stay open and would have the full menu available. The rooms were well appointed and decorated, from the tastefully accented antiques to the hairdryer and fluffy towels. The breakfast was not only ample but wonderfully unique, giving you homey feeling. As a world traveler I can truly say that the Iron Gate Inn in Cedar City is one of the best B & B experiences I have ever had… I can still remember the smile on the innkeepers face when she said goodbye.

Beautiful inn with beautiful rooms decorated tastefully. Our hostess was delightful and kind. We enjoyed our complimentary glass of lemonade on the back patio is a well groomed garden. Breakfast was delightful. Overall it was an excellent night and a highly recommended stay.

The good. A quick walk to the Shakespeare festival and great restaurants. Extremely clean rooms with comfortable beds. Wonderful dining room and shady patio to have breakfast on. Home cooked breakfasts, all from scratch. Plenty of juice, tea, coffee, etc every morning. The not-so-good. The house cat made it self welcome in the dining room and lounged on the tables. No effort was made to wipe the table after it left and before breakfast. I wonder where else it had been and not cleaned up after. The AC vent is right over the bed, specifically our heads, and was uncomfortable and rather annoying as it came on during the night. The transoms (windows over the doors) let the hall light come in, almost enough to read by, but too much to sleep comfortably with. The bad. We emailed prior to arriving asking if breakfasts could not have eggs as the main ingredient (omelettes, --an unusual request, I know-- but we were sent an email replying that that would be okay. Sloppy, runny quiche served for breakfast one morning despite their reply. Upon finding out where our dinner plans were one evening, the hostess offered to make reservations for us. We thanked her and told her what time we wanted them for. When we arrived at the restaurant, no reservations had been made at all. The bad tipped the scale enough that we will probably look for another B&B to stay at next year.

The Iron Gate Inn is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast centrally located in Cedar City, Utah. The location is within walking distance to Southern Utah University and the Shakespeare Festival. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owners Brian and Donna and offered a complementary glass of wine. The owners are very personable and excellent hosts willing to help their guests have a memorable experience. We reserved the Lucy Belle room on the first floor which has a separate door to the front porch. This room has a king bed, spacious bathroom with shower. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower and and the room was nicely decorated. The porch is a perfect place to relax overlooking the flower garden. Morning coffee, juices and homemade breakfast is also included. Behind the Inn is the IG winery. Tours and tastings are available. We have previously stayed at other B&B's in the Cedar City but now that we have experienced Iron Gate it will be the first choice on future visits.

The Mister is not a fan of B&Bs. Too much pressure to get to breakfast on time, rooms too small too move, beds too frilly and not very comfortable. But I talked him in to trying it one more time. And he loved it. We both did. The Iron Gate is like coming home. You are welcomed in like everyone's been waiting for you, shown through the gorgeous restored house, offered a glass of wine (yes, please), and then left to your own. There are places to relax in the beautiful gardens, the wrap around porch, or the parlor. The rooms and bathrooms are large and well appointed. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Our shower had three heads and I thought about moving into it. Chairs for conversation. But our favorite part was breakfast. Instead of a mad rush to all get down so we could eat at once, the hosts at Iron Gate give a range of time. They set out good coffee, juice, etc. Then breakfast is set up on a hot plate and people serve themselves and sit comfortably. They served fresh fruit, warm fresh muffins, an egg dish...and bacon. Really, really good bacon. I don't know if I'll get the Mister to try another B&B, but I do know that Iron Gate is now our go-to place to stay in Cedar City. Also walking distance to the Festival, art galleries, winery, and restaurants. Park the car and pick it up when you leave.

Donna was SO sweet & really great with our 2 young children. Everything was super nice & clean. Amazing breakfast too! We loved our stay!!

This place is fantastic. The house is lovely: originally built in 1897, it has been restored and decorated to reflect its turn-of-the-century heritage without sacrificing modern conveniences. Susan and CR are gracious hosts and are accommodating, warm, and solicitous without being overbearing. Our room was the "Joy Darlene" and featured a king bed and a three-head walk-in shower (tilt the middle head all the way down before turning on the taps!). The breakfast area is charming and opens onto a patio, which would be a lovely place in warmer temperatures for a cool drink. The food is scrumptious and homemade, as befits a quality B&B. Our first breakfast: individual quiches (bacon, cheese, artichoke), cinnamon muffins, fresh fruit, and juices. Our second breakfast: banana bread pudding, sausages, fresh fruit, and juices. You will not leave hungry! The hosts even provide a happy hour at 5pm with wine and appys (we were served bacon wrapped brie-stuffed dates, chips and homemade salsa, crackers/cheeses/meat plate, and jalapeno olives). If you have any food allergies, let the hosts know a few days in advance of your visit and they will modify the menu for you. I am lactose-intolerant and they were gracious enough to make my quiche without cheese and my bread pudding with Lactaid milk. The house is within a few minutes walking distance of Southern Utah University (where the Utah Shakespeare Festival is located during the summer) and the downtown core. Despite this, the evenings were VERY quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep for all. Susan and CR said that they will be opening up a winery in the next couple of months, which will only add to the quality and decadence of this already fine establishment. We plan on visiting again for the Shakespeare festival later this summer and are looking forward to it! Only 1 quibble: although there is wifi available, the connection doesn't seem to work with Apple products.

This was my first b&b ever, and my wife's first time in the states. I was amazed at how much attention to detail Donna has put into everything, it's mind boggling. House was immaculate, bathroom was too. Bed was awesome, night was quiet. I could not design a better stay anywhere-and I didn't have to, they took care of everything. And breakfast? Awesome. And when we told her our departure plans, she added something we never found on our internet searches. Best kept secret. Best of all was Donna the doll. One night and we felt like she was a relative. Like we stayed at an aunt's house. Thank you so much. Perfect. Grand slam!

Great place to recharge and relax. Donna is amazing. Just what we needed. Breakfast is amazing and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We have been coming here every year for the Shakespeare festival. This should be on everyone's bucket list.

Being that this is my first stay at a B&B, it's probably premature to rate it "as good as it gets." Then again, as far as I'm concerned, it's as good as it gets! From the time we arrived through breakfast this morning, Susan has been an awesome host. She even offered us a free upgrade to a larger room when we arrived. We ended up declining because we liked the coziness of our room, the Ruby G, and its view of the garden outside. Also, the Ruby G is literally right off the dining area. I saw that as a plus because we'd definitely know when breakfast was served by the noise outside (breakfast is promptly served at 8:15am). Speaking of breakfast, it was like a home-cooked meal and it was delicious! It certainly helps that the weather has been terrific. We were able to enjoy our quiche, peaches (presumably picked from their trees), danishes, bacon, coffee, and OJ outside on their garden patio. I think that's the allure of the B&B. It's more like you're a guest at someone's house, not unlike the experiences I've had so far with CouchSurfing. As a result, all of the other guests are friendly as well. Oh and the proximity to SUU and the Shakespeare Festival is definitely a plus. It's a quick 5-minute walk--just a small block away--to the Randall L. Jones Theatre. Yeah. This is as good as it gets.

Super cute B&B with very friendly staff. The room was spacious with a bed and two chair and nice large bathroom. It also had two doors, one to a communal sitting area and the other to the outside which is nice. Awesome pillows which was a nice bonus. The breakfasts each day were great, something you would expect to pay $10-15 for. If you are there in the off season (like I was) they can be flexible with breakfast time for you. I highly recommend this place if you are in Cedar City!

We were on the road, needed a place to stay and came across this Inn. Was a good decision. Nice place, quiet and the AM breakfast was good. Would return and will tell friends if they happen to be traveling in the area. Would recommend.....

For some reason I thought I had originally found this B&B on Yelp because they're so great (and many great things are found on Yelp) but it turns out I didn't! I stopped here once on my way from Los Angeles to Aspen, CO because it's a good half way point and I'm here again on my return trip. I can't gush enough about this place- the hosts CR and Susan are a delight, the rooms and grounds are luxurious in a very cozy way and the overall experience is a perfect balance between the privacy of a hotel room and the warmth of, well, a good B&B! Also, the breakfast they serve here is very gourmet- home made fresh every morning. (This is especially welcoming after eating mostly fast food on my drive). If/when I have to make a stop anywhere near this part of the country again, I'll definitely come back.

Awesome place to stay! Really neat house with a lot of space, beautiful landscaping and view of the mountains, delicious breakfast, and wonderful rooms! The owner was super friendly and willing to help any way she could. Would definitely stay again!

What a phenomenal bed and breakfast. From check in to check out everything was top notch. The hostess was friendly, helpful, assuring that every guests needs were met. The rooms were well appointed and beds super comfortable. The bed and breakfast was reminiscent of earlier times. You will definitely not be disappointed staying at the Iron Gate Inn. We will be back. Oh, I almost forgot to mention how beautiful the grounds were that surrounded the house.

Great B & B with caring and attentive owners. A wonderful gourmet breakfast every day and a large clean and wonderful room w private bath and of course the wine! I would welcome another stay and encourage all to partake in there gracious hospitality. We would go off to hiking and adventures in Zion and return to get refreshed.

My wife and I stayed for just 1 night but wished we could have stayed for several nights. As former B&B owners and operators, we are very critical of B&B's. The Iron Gate Inn is beautiful, CLEAN, and the hospitality was amazing. Donna and her staff were 5 star and the breakfast was GOURMET. We will definitely stay there again and we would HIGHLY recommend this B&B. P.S., less than a block to the Shakespeare Festival.

The Iron Gate Inn has been my favorite getaway for 7+ years, whether as a Women's Retreat, as part of my Utah Shakespearean time, or just as a solo retreat. Susan and CR are always welcoming and warm. They accommodate even the smallest requests... although their hospitality and the inn rarely require any additional requests. It just doesn't get any better! Had the joy of visiting the Iron Gate Winery this time and sampling the wines. YUM! Brought home a bottle of just about everything they offer. If you're looking for a cozy getaway in a quaint town that offers plenty of options for dining and entertainment, you can't get do better than The Iron Gate!!!

When I worked in Cedar City (at the Utah Shakespeare Festival) and patrons would ask where they should stay, I never hesitated to recommend the 1897 Iron Gate Inn B&B. Susan and her husband, CR, help make your stay a memorable one. Great rooms with not too much lace doilies or too many knick-knacks, the Inn is a very relaxed space with a beautiful dining area. There is an outdoor patio area that makes a great place to sit in the afternoon and get to know other guests or simply enjoy the sunset. Friends of mine have stayed there multiple times and continue to remark on the good times they spent at the B&B.

Beautiful b+b with a little winery out back. Amazing French toast breakfast. Near a few shops and restaurants that you can walk to. I snagged a room at the last minute, so I was in the room off the dining room. That room was comfortable, just a little noise in the morning, but not really a problem since most people eat on the patio.

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the Iron Gate this week. Donna, the inn keeper, could not be more gracious and welcoming. Her cooking is delicious, and our room was large and spacious. We had a wonderful experience. Our daughter (7 years old) was welcome and Donna provided a roll-away bed for her. The inn is a short walk from the Shakespearean theater and very good restaurants are also within walking distance. I highly recommend The French Spot.

Was so impressed with Donna and Brian, the inn keepers, very friendly, making you feel like family. Breakfast was wonderful, was very accommodating to our early snowmobiling tour, making sure we had the full breakfast before we left. Rooms are decorated so very cute. Will definitely be back again and again.

It's very rare to find a good B&B that has wheelchair access. The Iron Gate Inn was a rare find that we enjoyed while attending the Shakespeare Festival. The room is located on the first floor and is adequate. The bathroom has no seating so be prepared to shower from your chair. We were promised three times to have a shower seat delivered to our room--never happened. The breakfast was delicious. Other than the shower seat incident, the service was good. We hope to stay here in the future, but perhaps bring our own shower seat.

This is a true bed and breakfast at its best. The Inn keepers were not only warm, receptive and professional, they went out of their way to help. With a late check-in, the local restaurants were nearing closing time, they call a restaurant making sure the restaurant would stay open and would have the full menu available. The rooms were well appointed and decorated, from the tastefully accented antiques to the hairdryer and fluffy towels. The breakfast was not only ample but wonderfully unique, giving you homey feeling. As a world traveler I can truly say that the Iron Gate Inn in Cedar City is one of the best B & B experiences I have ever had... I can still remember the smile on the innkeepers face when she said goodbye.

Best place to stay in Cedar city. Donna and Brian are awesome. We make this a yearly weekend with friends. Love the hospitality. See you next year.

I found this amazing place on a cross-country drive from Los Angeles to Colorado. Actually I found it by accident through yelp as I asked Siri on my iPhone for the best local hotel as I drove in. I almost stayed at the Comfort inn down the street and am so glad that I chose this place instead. It was Immaculately clean, well designed and thought out, a truly beautiful restoration and an amazing bed-and-breakfast! The owners/hosts are incredibly warm and inviting and the breakfast was wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone traveling between Los Angeles and anywhere if you're on the road and you're in Cedar city Utah stop here, it's a great place and I'll definitely be back!

Very friendly, clean, accommodating, and by far the best blueberry muffins ever (don't tell my wife). Walking distance to the theatre. Definitely coming back!

I love the Iron Gate! Susan and CR make you feel right at home. They make homemade breakfast that is amazing. If you want a 5 star experience, this is your place.

We had our son's wedding reception and spent the weekend. The yard is beautiful and had plenty of room for our 100 guests. Donna and Brian are amazing and are very accommodating. The rooms are beautiful, clean and very comfortable. Definitely the place to stay when visiting Cedar City, or if youyou need a meeting place or a reception, like in our case.

We stayed here in late October for the Shakespeare festival. The owner was very accommodating and gracious, her food was amazing, and the home was very well appointed, with much attention paid to details. The winery behind was great as well. No more Cedar City hotels, this is my new place to stay for the festival.
