My husband and I just got back from a wonderful 2 night stay at the Cotton Mansion, for our Honeymoon. We stayed in the carriage house in the Bella Flora room. Ken walked through our room with us explaining where the fridge, coffee, how the Jacuzzi tub worked as well as the shower. The bed was very comfortable, gas fire place was gorgeous. The room was clean, large, private and very cozy. They provided lavender candles, bath salts, shampoo, conditioner and even lotion. The Jacuzzi tub had an included heater that kept the water warm for as long as you wanted to enjoy it.

The mansion was built early 1900's. They have kept/restored all original furniture, wood work and light fixtures. It is beautiful. Ken ran through the entire history of the house and Cotton family during breakfast at our request.

They make AMAZING breakfasts. The first morning they made eggs Benedict with fresh fruit and an apple muffin. The second morning they served fresh pineapple with stuffed french toast. Very good!

We plan to go back!

My husband and I were in hopes for a relaxing winter get away and found ' The Cottage Mansion' online. Upon arrival all the doors to the house were locked. The knobs sticky with remnants of electrical tape. We waited in the cold for ten minutes until the owner conveniently decided to come to the door. unfortunatly the owners did not consider welcoming us, but instead quickly asked us for our debitcard and again disappeared for 10-15 minutes. many of the public rooms had broken glass in the cabinets, stains on the furniture, dust, dust and more dust. The food was was definatly below average. We tried our best to enjoy our wkend in the dirty 'mansion.' After we checked out we recieved an email claiming they had found 'stains' in the room we had stayed and had already charged our debit card to replace the low quality blanket that supposedly had 'stains' that appeared. We were shocked and ferious they had made a false claim, Had not bothered to call us first to discuss the problem and finally not having our permission,verbal or signed to charge our credit card. Our phone calls went unanswered when we tried to call. We asked for photos to be emailed to us of the supposed 'damage' but again nothing. we quickly had to cancel our debit card so they could not continue to charge us bogus 'fees'. There was no explication by email. Our debit card account bounced because of the unspeakable 'replacement fee' they charged us. Finally our bank had to be involved. After investigation the bank found the money had been falsely taken and our money was returned to us. A very disappointing and long weekend.

We stayed for two nights at this beautiful mansion. We had purchased a crowd-cut coupon and were somewhat apprehensive as our last experience at a B&B (with a crowd-cut coupon) had been a disaster. Well, we loved every minute of it. The Belle Cotton suite was beautiful. The mansion has been restored to the luxury of yesteryear. An added bonus was that all the other guests that stayed there were very pleasant breakfast companions. I can't wait to book another stay at the Cotton Mansion. I have recommended this place to all my friends.

We spent two nights at The Cotton Mansion early in the summer season. The home is in a lovely, historic neighborhood and within a nice walking distance of Lake Superior. This common rooms are large and have a number of smaller areas to gather so you can enjoy the space without feeling like you're intruding on other guests. The architectural details make perusing the home a treat. We stayed in a quiet room at the back of the house. We especially enjoyed being able to have a real fire in our fireplace! The hosts were accommodating and informative. Breakfast was delicious. We would definitely return.
