It was a very cozy room on a very snowy weekend in Minnesota. We enjoyed sitting by the fireside and reading. The breakfasts were wonderful. Steve is a great chef. We plan on visiting again when we visit St Olaf.

Warm hosts, great food!
Our hosts, Lisa and Steve were so warm and welcoming. We had access to warm drinks, popcorn and movies in our room. Lisa made chocolate truffles and cookies, which were in our room when we arrived. Breakfast was a three course meal! It was expertly prepared and presented! Beds were so comfortable, better than any hotel!

Lives up to its name!
Nestled in the shadow of St. Olaf College is this lovely, quiet property. Be prepared to be pampered with homemade truffles and a wonderful 3-course breakfast. Common rooms and bedroom are beautifully furnished and decorated. Our room did not have an attached bath, but it was literally a few steps away. Tub is sufficient, but not what I would consider deep-soaking/spa quality. The hosts are kind and caring and sincerely care for your well-being. Truly a home away from home experience.

Innkeepers were attentive and very nice. We were in the front room, which is noisy from the busy road out front if you need to have the windows open (we did in September). Bathtub is in middle of room, with no shower hanging device; if you like baths, it is fine, but if you want a shower, not so much. Less than a mile from Northfield.. If we stay here again, we would only do so if we could get the back room.

Great B and B beside St. Olaf's
Great B and B fairly newly opened in a house. Breakfast is to die for - 3 courses. You don't need lunch! Room was nicely furnished - had Keurig coffee maker, popcorn, hot chocolate at top of stairs for the 2 rooms - a very nice touch. Only 2 issues - our room had a free-standing tub/shower in the room - the shower was hard to use. And the outside door "sticks" or "self locks" so one night when we came in about 10:30 p.m. in the rain, we couldn't get in and had to ring and wait some time for the owner to come up and let us in. We were getting a little anxious about being stranded outside. That needs to be fixed.

Great B&B right next to St. Olaf College.
Charming home. Lots of nice little touches such as lemonade and cookies left out for guests in rooms. Delicious breakfast. Definitely a nice change from staying in a typical hotel.
