We arrived and truely enjoyed the house & our room. Jill was friendly as she greeted us at the door and Pat is a great inkeeper. We enjoyed our first breakfast in our room with all the trimmings and the second in the formal dinning room. Fresh summer morning with the birds and beautiful gardens. The food was wonderful and presented well! Coffee was great and it was nice to have beverages etc. available down the hall from our room. The Inn is decorated inside & out so beautifully. We also enjoyed the private covered deck outside our room.(Grand Suite) We truely enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay again.

After a day of bicycling the Wobegon Trail, The Pillar Inn was perfect! We stepped back in time into the relaxed atmosphere of an era gone by. The polished banisters, chandeliers, airy porches, waterfall garden and even the resident duck protecting its' young under cover in the flower bed created a charming setting. My husband isn't keen on B&B's, but quickly became a fan of The Pillar Inn. The decor in the Casa Blanca Room was totally fun. We felt like we were in the movie. After a day of biking, a soak in the tub with their bath salts was soothing. Pat, the innkeeper, and Jill, the owner, were such gracious hosts. They were attentive to our every need, but never in the way. The morning breakfast was a culinary feast! Our stay at The Pillar Inn was a delightful experience!

We needed this weekend away after my diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cancer. The Pillar Inn gave us a chance to be papmered as a couple and get away from it all. We came home relaxed and renewed. Thanks for all the TLC

The moment we passed the front door threshold, we knew that we were stepping back into a quieter, more gracious place in time. The inn is beautifully decorated with antiques, fresh flowers, and delightful touches. The grand suite was elegant, beautifully appointed from rich tapestries, to luxury linens. Our breakfast began with entering an exquisitely decorated sun-filled dining room, with soothing classical background music that set the stage for a culinary masterpiece. The innkeeper, Pat, was truly a delight. She made us feel like royalty, and yet quite at home. By the way, we stayed two weeks.

Not a gambler by nature, I booked The Pillar Inn on a whim and boy was I rewarded! The Pillar Inn is a top notch B & B, from the sheets right on up to the gourmet, mouth-watering breakfast. I stayed in the Grand Suite and from my conversations with the other guests, all the rooms are "grand," and mine was aptly named! The only thing you will lose by hesitating to book a room at The Pillar Inn is the opportunity. The rooms go fast! Dawn V. Shoreview, MN

I had to schedule a business trip in the area. While not typically a b&b person, I considered one so I could be more comfortable than the basic hotel. The stay was peaceful and worth the extra drive. They even had some Big Band CDs to play which helped me recall how much I enjoy that music. From the greeting upon my arrival until I left after breakfast the next morning, everything was warm and first rate. I would certainly stay again when in the area. It proved to me that a b&b is not only for couples.

The hostess, Pat, was great. She cooked an awesome breakfast. The house is gorgeous, really well-done. Unfortunately, the bed in our room (full size) was too small. Husband had to sleep on floor for 3 nights. I enjoyed the breakfast but not the bed.

Innkeeper Response
The guests that stayed in this room were truly wonderful guests. So wonderful, in fact, that they didn't tell us there was a problem with the bed when asked how they slept each night! While one of the 3 nights they stayed we were completely booked, we most certainly would have brought in a cot or moved them to a different room on the available nights, had we known they were uncomfortable. Our guests comfort is always of utmost concern. As a separate note, plans were already in the works to upgrade the full sized mattress (which is the typical size for the beautiful antique bedframe that is in this room), to a queen size mattress. The frame is currently in the shop being resized and will have a queen sized mattress by July 12th.
