Don Q Inn.

Don Q Inn

A crazier-than-most fantasy room motel. Take a bath in a cheese vat, or soak in a hot tub on the moon. Underground tunnel leads to nearby restaurant in a barn. Giant airplane is parked on the front lawn.

Beauty salon and barber chairs.

Don Q Inn

Plan to stay here! Rooms are unique and large. Massive fire pit and chimney in lobby surrounded by gorgeously maintained vintage barber chairs. So unique. Loved it and plan to return!

In the cockpit.

Don Q Inn

Visitors can enter the Don Q airplane and pretend they are flying high to help servicemen. Such an awesome attraction. You must be able to do stairs to enter the plane.

Don Q Inn: Boeing C-97

In the front yard of the Don Q Inn there is a full-size transport plane that you can actually go into. Stand in the cockpit or walk into the back of the military plane where the soldiers sat.

Don Q Inn - Fire!

Unfortunately, the 100 year old barn that housed the restaurant at the Don Q Inn was totally destroyed by fire on Feb. 22, 2017. While the barn was a total loss, fire crews kept the flames from spreading to the Inn. Everyone had been evacuated safely and there were no injuries.

The plane parked out front was far enough away from the burning building and wasn't damaged.
