Meet the Owners & Managers of Motel Tipton
David an American Trucker Guy met Naomi, a Canadian Trucker Girl and they fell in love. Fast forward 2 years and on October 4, 2021 they were married in Tipton, IA. Whenever they would drive by the vacant Tipton Motel, Naomi had a dream of resurrecting it into something wonderful!
That same October, Naomi’s Dad, Blake and Step-Mom Shelley came to visit. The newlyweds toured them around town and showed them the Tipton Motel… yes, the ol’ place was weathered, tired and no longer in operation. Together, they couldn’t get the picture of the motel out of their minds.

“Motel Tipton is a Godsend. Great to have the motel open again… and it’s so beautiful!”
Beatrice C, Hawaii
