A bit of History of the Valley Inn on main Highway: (Including rumors Al Capone frequented Valley Inn in Pleasant Valley);
Pleasant Valley is one of the oldest towns in Iowa. It was first settled in the early 1830's and the first business was an old grist mill that sat near where the Valley Inn stands today. Soon thereafter, a sawmill was built nearby. These two businesses helped with the development of early settlements in the immediate area.
In the late 1830's or early 1840's a hotel/tavern was built on the spot where Valley Inn sits today. The original rubble foundation still exists and is visible on the exterior of the restaurant. Eventually, the second floor was turned into an elaborate ballroom before the place was turned into what was believed to be a gambling hall in the late 1800's. The upstairs ballroom was eventually replaced by two apartments which remained in place before a complete remodel of the Valley Inn took place in 2012.
When Prohibition took hold in 1919, it was rumored that the Valley Inn became a speakeasy and hangout for organized crime members. Al Capone was said to have frequented the Valley Inn before he was convicted on income tax evasion in 1931.
The Valley Inn has undergone a number of owners over the years. After serving in the army in World War II, Ambrose Carlin came home and bought the Valley Inn in 1948. He ran the place for 30 years before he retired and his daughter Frances Devlin took over. The normally is full of people and has a great patio out back. The age mix of people in the place ranged from their early 20's into their 70's. Renovated in 2012 gave the place a very needed face-lift including a new kitchen and bar area. Check it out - it's walkable if you wish from the house, or just a 3 minute drive.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
