Wow! Thank You!
When we purchased this property the summer of 2021 as the world was looking like it might come out of the pandemic, we already knew we had a big hill to climb. The property was outdated and in need of renovation, averaging less than 2 viewers on the website per day and most importantly, had the worst reviews in town. You can go back and read review from before Aug 17 of 2021, and see our struggle.
We are so honored and encouraged by this TripAdvisor award for that reason, we came out of that hole and did what we hoped to do, deliver a relaxing and refreshing retreat for our guests downtown Lanesboro.
You are what has made this journey worth it, the people we’ve met, the conversations we’ve had, the gratitude we’ve received for having a beautiful place to refresh.
We’ll keep it comin’ with the getaway experience, including 2 new rooms this season, gift cards to the coffeehouse, expanded locked bike room space and personalized door locks. We can’t wait to have you spend time in the rooms and outdoors space we’ve crafted while you enjoy a needed time of refreshment.
Endless thanks!

Walk to the best of what our town has to offer
Our location on “main street” puts you just steps from food, drink, shops, arts and the theater. We’re right across the street from Juniper’s, the Root River State Bike Trail and the story phone.
The walk away from town brings you directly to the park, volleyball courts, tennis, pickleball, the waterfall and fishing. Put go tubing on the Root River, walkable to entry and exit points.
Walk up hill behind the property to the bell tower that serenades the town with it’s chimes several times a day and a scenic overlook to enjoy the waterfall, valley & sunset.
No matter how you’re looking to spend your time here, we are close to all of Lanesboro’s activities.
