We stayed for two nights in the Lake Superior room. This room had a gas fireplace, queen size bed, small couch, comfortable sitting chair, and plenty of room left over. There was also an enclosed porch with a round table and two chairs. You could also go outside from this room to a small outdoor porch that had two chairs.... More

I can not say enough good things about this B&B. From the moment you drive up to the gorgeous home, to the friendly check-in with lots of great tips, to the scrumptious bedroom, we were wowed. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I were looking to get away from the cities for a weekend, and decided to take a trip to Duluth. A deal came up for the Olcott House B&B, so we decided to give it a try; I am so glad that we did! David, one of the Olcott House caretakers, was so weloming when we arrived.... More

.My girlfriend and I spent last weekend at the Olcott House and were not disappointed one bit. Let me start by saying you will be amazed by the size and the beauty of the home when you first drive up, it is truly a mansion. We were greeted promptly when we walked in by David, and shown around the property,... More

My best friend and I had been talking about taking a couple nights away to reconnect with each other. As with most people, life was getting busy and we both wanted a quiet retreat where we could relax and catch up. We found the Olcott House and both thought it looked like the perfect place for this to take place... More

My husband and I spent a weekend honeymoon at the Olcott House. It was perfect! The house is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the hospitality is second to none. We loved the way they focused on the little details- the bath towels and robes were fluffy and soft, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and the wine hour was superb.... More

Our 35th anniversary was spent at this lovely B&B in Duluth. Exactly what we needed. David was a gracious host! We give this lovely mansion a 5 rating. Our room, the eggs benedict, wine and cheese, library full of history and of course Duluth! Thank you.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay here on a recent overnight in Duluth. We drove up at night to the stately mansion that was lit up and snow-covered. We have often seen these types of homes from the outside, but have never had the opportunity to stay in one. The decor was very tasteful (not overly frilly) and... More

We stayed at the Olcott in July on our first trip to Duluth and the Northshore. The inn is incredibly beautiful and well kept. Our innkeeper was super friendly and greeted us, offered tips, and even just hung around to chat. The breakfasts were great and there was plenty of options for sitting. We got to meet fellow innkeepers who... More

Had a great stay on our last of 7 days in Minnesota. Accommodations, service, staff - all top notch. Had great weather for August and found it very relaxing to read for a couple of hours on cool front porch. They provide evening wine and snacks. They have an interesting selection of books and also several daily newspapers. We had... More
