On the bank of the Root River, in one of Minnesota's most ancient and picturesque valleys. Restored to include modern conveniences, while keeping a comfortable and eclectic Victorian decor. In the yard between the inn and the twisting river, the conversations of birds, the sound of flowing water, and a lovely garden offer a peaceful place to relax. more » « less

My husband and I stayed at Mr. B's ten years ago when it was owned by different owners and had a very enjoyable time then. As we live in Wisconsin, just an hour or so away, we often visit Lanesboro enjoying the biking trails that surround it. Though we celebrated our 40th anniversary with family previously, we spent the actual... more

As a recent guest of this B & B, I would like to comment on our two night stay while in Lanesboro. We have enjoyed many different B&Bs over the last few years and Mrs B's is at the top of the list. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and pleasant, the food was absolutely delicious, and the total overall atmosphere... more

Have stayed in many B&B's and this was one of my most disappointing experiences. Host not warm.. just wanted to share the RULES. The food was not very good either. The recipes were not very tasty and original. The location was convenient but parking a nightmare on a busy weekend. more

If you're sensitive to the plug in type of air fresheners then this is not the place for you. My husband is allergic to strong smells such as these and immediately when you walk through the front door he got an instant headache. We tried to give it a go and checked into our "warm" room. Wanting to open the... more

My husband/Innkeeper checked in the couple in this review. I did not have a chance to meet with them, however my husband explained what had happened. I have suffered with migraines a major portion of my life and certainly felt great compassion for this gentleman. I know the issues with anything that smells. I am very sorry he was having...

I had to write a review after reading the last bad review. We enjoyed our two night stay at Mrs. B's. I have stayed in at least two other inns, in Minnesota and Iowa, where women are asked to remove their make-up with a different supplied wash cloth. The kind of make-up I wear would stain them permanently. I know... more

My wife and I spent two nights at Mrs. B's Historic Lanesboro Inn recently. We felt the property was lovely--the new owners have obviously spent a great deal of time and money making it look nice. The breakfasts were also quite good. However, I don't believe we'd stay there again because we really didn't feel very welcome or comfortable. We... more

We were deeply saddened to have received this review and so wish that 'Peter' and his significant other had come to us to discuss what they were feeling with us. We cannot address what we don't know. The best gift you can give us is letting us know what you are feeling...good or bad. It helps us to make what...

My husband surprised me for Mother's Day with a weekend in Lanesboro. He found Mrs. B's here at TripAdvisor and was, admidtedly, a bit nervous about staying there due to some poor reviews. Upon reading the latest good reviews he decided to take a chance. We were so glad he did! Mrs. B's is adorable! It's right in downtown Lanesboro... more

Wow! We have stayed here before the new owners took over and just couldn't get over the difference they have made in Mrs. B's. Even though there was renovating going on at the time of our stay, the innkeepers (Terry & Ginger) made sure we were comfortable. The new lobby is just lovely and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Imagine,... more

When our friends recently gave us a certificate as a wedding gift, we immediately booked a room at Mrs B's for a time when we knew that we'd be enjoying the best of autumn weather. In making the arrangements, we learned that Ginger and Terry had just taken possession of the property in July. We found them to be very... more

My husband and I just returned from a 2 night anniversary stay @ Mrs. B's. This was our 1st visit to Lanesboro, and we are very glad we chose Mrs. B's, based upon recommendations from friends and relatives who had stayed there several years ago. Terry & Ginger, the new owners, bent over backward to make sure we were pleased... more
