Iona is located close to DE Turf and the Delaware beaches. The Inn looks out over Cedar Creek, a pristine estuary leading to Delaware Bay. This vista provides many stunning sunrises and sunsets. Since Iona is a working farm, the front of the house looks out over the barn, pastures, and fields. The front porch and second-floor balcony provide perfect viewing to enjoy the early morning scenery with your first cup of coffee and breakfast provided to all guests. Iona is a non-smoking property. The space Iona Stables and Inn is located on a 35-acre farm just east of Rt 1, at a little crossroads called Argo’s Corner. We are situated 3 miles south of Milford, DE. It is only 3 miles to Delaware Bay and 16 miles to the Ocean at Cape Henlopen State Park. The Lewes, Rehoboth, Tanger Outlets, and Delaware beaches and State Parks are all located just south of us along the Rt 1 corridor. We are located 1 mile south of the new Bayhealth Medical Center. We are also 9 miles south of the DE Turf Sports Complex. To enhance the safety of all our guests at Iona Stables and Inn, we have installed UV light on all the air handlers that service the house. That means approximately every 10 minutes, all the inside air is being disinfected from bacteria, viruses, and mold particles. The UV lights are in addition to the MERV 13 filter cartridges we use in all our air handlers. Just another way we strive to make your stay at Iona Inn a comfortable stay. Here's what the UV lights accomplish. Most indoor air quality products merely trap pollutants, but Swordfish (the manufacturer) kills molds, viruses, and fungus in indoor air. Swordfish UV Air Treatment systems use proven technology and expose your recirculated indoor air to UVC light which kills/deactivates micro-organisms and sanitizes your air. Guest access Guests at Iona have access to the property, porches, and patios. There is ample parking, and additional parking can be available for campers and horse trailers upon special request.

Other things to note The first-floor guest area has two rooms, each with a double bed. The rooms share a bathroom that is directly assessable from the adjoining bedroom. We are set up to accommodate children 12 years and older. The Stables Along with the accommodations offered at the Inn, we also offer in the barn or pasture to stable horses (no stallions), parking for trailers, and trail ride areas on the property. Your horse will be your responsibility to provide feed and care while the animal is stabled at Iona. Horses can only be stabled if the owner is staying at Iona Stables and Inn.
