We have celebrated our New Years Anniversary at the Phipps quite a number of times. Now and then we try a different place, but it never measures up... and we return to what feels like home. Thanks Mary Ellen and Rich.... we have reservations for next year too!

Good: -On boarder of Minnesota / Wisconsin -Great location (Small shops 3 blocks from B&B / nice restaurants) -20 minutes from minneapolis -Small town feel -Peacock room has waterfall jucuzzi (very beautiful) Bad: -Breakfast did not ask for personal preferance and limited selection of foods (need a selection of fruits posted in case planned food is inadaquate, such as a cereal buffet)

Spent a night in the Queen Anne's suite to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The room was phenomenal and the breakfast was breathtaking and delicious. We especially enjoyed the sunken whirlpool and gas fireplace in our room, and enjoyed a couple rounds of billiards on the main floor. We will definitely go back again, and will recommend the Phipps Inn to all of our friends!

Came here for our honeymoon. Had a great experience. One of the most beautiful buildings I've seen. Amazing (and decadent) breakfasts too. Excellent hosts. I highly recommend the Queen Anne suite - sunken whirlpool with fireplace right next to the tub.

Mary Ellen and Rich were the nicest innkeepers we have ever encountered and we have stayed at several B&Bs. The breakfasts were phenomenal and even included dessert. We found the Phipps Inn to be serene. We plan on making the Phipps Inn part of annual trip to the Hudson/Stillwater area.

Mary Ellen and Rich Cox, the Phipps Innkeepers, were fantastic hosts. Mary Ellen met us at the door with a warm smile and a cheerful welcome. Required business items were quickly adressed and we were given a brief tour of the house. Getting to our room occurred efficiently and professionalism. Once at the room, leaving was hard. This luxurious bedroom and huge bathroom, with a large hot tub, was greater than my expectation. One felt like you were truly a guest in the home of the late 19th century wealthy. The room was superbly decorated, clean, and welcoming. After getting settled, it was time to venture out for dinner. Menus were avaiable for several options. We found that there were many places within a short walk from the inn. After a more than filling dinner, we returned to the inn, which provided music, billards, lounging, if desired, as well as a relaxing soaking in the hot tub. After a relaxing eveining and a wonderful night sleep in one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, we joint the other guests in the dining room for a fantastic three course breakfast: fresh fruit; a to die for oven baked French toast, sonce, sausage; and a triple layer mint chocolate browne. It was sad to leave this wonderful place, but we know that all good things must come to an end. I cannot say that there is anything we would have changed. I know in my heart that we will return to the Phipps Inn.

We enjoyed a couple nights at the Phipps Inn for our 15th wedding anniversary. It's a wonderful piece of history and the owners were just great! The attention to detail and decor is beyond words. We were thankful for the help we received from the owners for our shopping & dining outings! Thanks so much - we'll visit again!! Thanks for preserving such a beautiful piece of history!!

Pick your room carefully as they are all different in size, decor, and amenities. Otherwise the experience is all good.

The breakfast was excellent! The room was very clean and cleaned up nicely for the next day of stay. I have been in two other bed and breakfast inns and this is the first one I have been in that gave the option of allowing us to eat in our room.

The Phipps Inn is a gorgeous white victorian house that is just as appealing to look at in the winter, as it is in the summer. During the Christmas season, garland lines the outside of the home and lit christmas trees shine through the windows. In the summer, beautiful trees hover around the home, protecting its beauty from the sun. The inside is tastefully decorated with victorian charm everywhere. The home is clean, well maintained and the woodwork and tile show character. The stained glass is beautiful. The home is always quiet - no phones, tv's etc.. It's a great place to catch up on some well needed rest, read a book, play board games with your sweety or shoot a game of pool, play the piano, cozy up to a fire & celebrate a special occasion. The chocolate, cheese and fruit basket is always a must have when we return - it's reasonably priced and always tasty. The Phipps Inn is a perfect location to the river, nearby shops and activities in the park - year round, there's always something to do if you get the urge to venture out. The service is outstanding. Mary Ellen and Rich are friendly and so accomodating. The food is outstanding. We not only love the food, but we love the embroiderd, soft robes they provide - we ended up purchasing a B&B cookbook and two robes during one of our stays! My husband and I choose to stay at this B&B every year for our anniversary. We love this house! And did I mention that we actually live in Hudson as well? Why travel far when you can have everything you want from a B&B just 10 minutes from your house!

Another great weekend outside of the cities, facilitated by the Phipps Inn and the amenities accompany by Hudson, WI. A great, close place to mpls- St Paul. That offers great atmosphere, reasurable stay with good food and many activities near by to enjoy yourself all day.

A lovely, quiet retreat. One of the better rooms we've stayed in with large whirlpool next to fireplace; a double-headed shower; a feather bed. The breakfast was delicious with two kinds of sweetbreads, cookies, beverages, and quiche.

My wife and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary there on 9/14-15. We had originally stayed there the night of our wedding back in 1995, and can't say enough good things about the place. The rooms are authentic period rooms (except the jacuzzi tubs), beds are wonderful, and the hosts couldn't be nicer. We had breakfast delivered to our room in the Bridal Suite, and it was wonderful to enjoy a delicious breakfast in the rotunda of the room, surrounded by warm sunshine filtered by the lace curtains. Hudson is a quaint town, with great restaurants, fun bars (don't miss the Llama run!), and antique shops. We definitely plan on visiting again, hopefully sooner than a 13yr hiatus!!

We spent several nights at the Phipp's Inn over the July 4th holiday. There isn't one bad thing I can say about the inn or our stay there. The room was very comfortable and clean, the common areas were authentically period and very well maintained, the breakfasts were outstanding, and the innkeepers are the nicest people anyone could hope to meet. Thank you Mary Ellen and Rich! We had a great time. Scott & Dale

The perfect romantic place to spend quality time with the one you love. Escape for a weekend to the Phipps Inn. Spend your evenings in one of their romantic rooms, relax in the whirlpools for two or curl up next to the fireplace. Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the privacy of your room the next morning. Rich and Mary Ellen are the perfect hosts, there when you need them not there when you want to be alone with your loved one. We highly recommend the Phipps Inn to anyone in love who wants to celebrate their relationship!

We really enjoyed our stay, and the Bridal room was great, all done in white and wicker, with a great bath area. The hosts were very friendly and did a great job of serving us. Our only exception was that we thought breakfast bordered to much on the sweet side, we prefer a more hardy breakfast, more like probably what was served early on in the houses history. We certainly would stay there again and recommend it to you all......

Wonderfully friendly innkeeper, delicious 3-course breakfast and a beautiful mansion. Highly recommended. You must dine at San Pedro cafe in downtown Hudson for upscale Caribbean seafood - outstanding!
