(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 15, 2008 ) Emmetsburg, Iowa -- Just minutes away from one of the area's largest casino operations, the Wild Rose Casino, a historic inn is now being offered for sale.

The beautiful folk Victorian home houses 6 guestrooms plus owner’s quarters. The B&B is located on a quiet tree-lined residential street just a short walk from town. Both business and leisure guests return often and new guests arrive year-round to experience a comfortable elegance in a homelike setting. The home was built by lumberman, John Shaw in 1890, and features beautiful woodwork throughout. It is one of many stately Victorian homes in the community, but also one of the most historic in the area.

Emmetsburg is known for its Irish heritage with a festive weekend held each March for the St. Patrick’s celebration. Each year the St. Patrick’s Association brings a member of the Irish Parliament and his guest to Emmetsburg for about 10 days to meet the people, learn about Iowa, and take part in the festivities. The Queen Marie B&B has been host to these interesting guests each year.
