Iron Horse joins Root River Inn & Suites

Artistic Rendering of the Iron Horse Inn Building

Iron horse rooms are now a part of Root River inn…

Iron Horse was fully renovated in 2017 into 4 comfortable hotel rooms featuring all the amenities you’d expect from a well run historic inn. This building sits at the key intersection of Parkway & Coffee making it convenient to absolutely everything in town. Starting Nov 2024, the 4 stately rooms above Iron Horse are reservable through our system. Each of the four hotel rooms feature a king bed, private bath & sitting area. Sophisticated nods to the areas railroad history and the “iron horse” that originally made Lanesboro accessible to visitors.

We've upgraded the bed linens & pillows, created more comfortable seating areas in rooms & brightened the lighting.  Painting is planned for this winter to further brighten rooms. Guests here will now receive $5 gift cards for Paddle On to get started on breakfast as well.

We've also made upgrades to the common room, now named the Phoenix Lounge. The front facing 3 windows and 1st one on the side are all part of the Lounge, a reservable meeting room with catering kitchen and seating area.More coffee options, games and improved seating make the most of this bright and beautiful space right on the intersection of Coffee & Parkway. It will be accessible to guests every morning and evening, but reservable in between. This bright, yet warm room is available for parties and events starting December 2024.

We have an easy to use website & reservation system. If you've only stayed at Iron Horse or only at Root River Inn & Suites, jump back on our website to look at the options you have with all 3 properties, right on main street, downtown Lanesboro.

We've just finished the refresh and don't have updated pictures on the website yet, but will in the next few days. Take a look now to see the before pics and come back in a few to check out the new look, but book anytime, knowing the rooms are ready for you!
