The 607 Guest House is a 150+ year-old vintage vacation rental that was once owned by railroad tycoon John Insley Blair. Built in 1867—the same year Iowa's first railroad tracks were laid—this thoughtfully restored home highlights its historic charm, allowing you to immerse yourself in Boone’s rich history while enjoying modern-day conveniences like a heated bathroom floor and zoned central air. After sitting vacant for years, the home has been lovingly brought back to life, with the interior carefully restored to reveal its original beauty. The exterior retains its original character, with future updates planned to further showcase its 1800s roots.
Inside, you’ll discover artwork, décor, and details inspired by Trains, Iowa, and the Midwest, making your stay a true Boone experience. From its original heart pine floors to restored windows with working pulleys and leaded glass panes, history comes alive in this one-of-a-kind stay. Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a step back in time, the 607 Guest House is more than just a place to sleep—it’s an experience.

Amazing house! Lots of space, adorable decor, lots of ‘extras’ - very family friendly and walking distance to downtown. Host was very accessible and helpful. Highly recommend!
We had a very nice and relaxing stay. There were many thoughtful amenities that we were greatful for. Beds were comfortable, temperature was easy to regulate, kitchen well equipped.
The hosts were fantastic and the property was exactly what we were looking for. They were quick to communicate with us, and even offered us complimentary check in and check out since we drove far and had stormy weather. The house was adorable, super close to the Rail Explorers and not far from the High Trestle Trail Bridge, and we absolutely loved sitting on the front porch. The hosts put a lot of love and effort into making the house and our stay perfect!
Excellent location for a weekend stay of a family reunion at Ledges and golf at Honey Creek. We appreciated all the amenities. Will definitely be staying again.
Very nice home. Very clean. Great communication with the host! Great coffee and snack bar with lots of options! Love all of the history and trsin memorabilia!Boone dirt track racing and the rail bikes were great for area entertainment!

This was a beautiful home. Our group really enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again. The hosts were very accommodating and made it easy to stay.
Great stay over a long weekend. Lovely older house that had a fantastic train theme that our boys loved! Plus the newly opened up front porch was great for morning coffee.

This was an awesome place! The host went above and beyond for the comfort of our stay. If i could give 100 stars, i would.
Clean and comfortable property that is walking distance to down town and restaurants in one direction and walking distance to the Boone Scenic Railroad the other way!
Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. Super clean and comfortable!We loved drinking our morning coffee on the front porch. Living most of our lives in Iowa, we moved to Texas 8 years ago. During our stay, we were able to soak up the beautiful landscaping, trees and the smell of freshly mowed grass when we sat outside. It was very nostalgic! Boone is a great town with lots of restaurants within walking distance of the house. Our stay was one of the highlights of our trip back home to Iowa.
We stayed here while in the area for a family reunion. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable with a lot of little extra thoughtful touches like games, candy in dishes, etc. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.
We needed a place to stay overnight before we did the Rail Explorers in the morning and headed home to Wisconsin. This place was perfect. Clean, spacious, and lots of great little details throughout. If I ever find myself in the area again I will for sure stay here again!
Super cozy place with wonderful hosts! If you like vintage/historical places, this is a fantasy spot! If we are in the area I would stay here again. Thank you!
Alison is truly personable and made the stay so nice with all her extra touches. She truly cares and wants you to have the best stay. Highly recommend. Also so close to the train.
