As we drove back to the cities after our stary with Angie and Tim I started comparing the A.G. Thompsom house to some of the best resorts and hotels I've had the privledge to stay in. I concluded that nothing compares to the genuine warmth and hospitality that they both exuded. There is something to be said about feeling so accepted and welcomed yet having absolute privacy and freedom. The beds were beyond comfortable and the ambience of the Mayors Chambers was so romantic. It was very evident to me (who is a stickler for dirt and grime) that the common rooms and our room was clean and neat. We will be, without a doubt, returning to Angie & Tim's home. I will never pay the same money at a nearby hotel when I can have unmatched service for the same price at the A.G. Thompson House.

My husband and I have stayed here on two separate occasions and have greatly enjoyed it both times. The house is beautiful and the rooms are tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Angie and Tim are wonderful hosts, very friendly and down-to-earth. The breakfasts are creative and delicious. This is the place to stay while in Duluth and we look forward to staying at the A.G. Thomson House again.

If you are visiting Duluth you must stay at the AG Thomson Bed and Breakfast. The house is so charming and decorated with perfect taste. When you think of a bed and breakfast this is it. The rooms were all unique and very clean. Breakfast every morning was absolutely delicious. The innkeepers Tim and Angie are so warm, friendly and personable. They are the perfect hosts. They know how to give everything a special touch. I can't say enough good things about this B and B. The location is perfect too with a view of lake superior. I can't wait to stay again!

This was our first bed and breakfast, booked on the spur of the moment while driving, and it was one of the best experiences ever. The hosts are amazing, we felt like we had known them forever, and the room and entire house are lovely. We enjoyed it so much we had to stay another day. Would definately recommend this wonderful spot to anyone. K&P, Manitoba

A wonderful B&B. Cerainly the nicest we have ever stayed in. Very quiet atmosphere with beautiful rooms in a beautiful house. We were most impressed with the quality if the craftsmanship reflected throughout the house in the work that Tim has done and the wonderful food that he and Angie prepared and served. Just a perfect spot for a romantic getaway!

This was our first bed and breakfast experience. We were very impressed. The house is beautiful and very comfy too. The food was excellent. Tim and Angie are very nice people. They made us feel at home. I ordered the Celebrate You Gourmet pkg for a surprise for my husband. It was in the room waiting for us when we arrived. It was our 37th wedding anniversary in April. We will go again next time we stay in Duluth. Thanks Tim and Angie!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Since we don't get away from the kids very often, we wanted something special. We found it in the Lake Superior Suite at the A. G. Thomson House. I have never been in a more beautiful and relaxing room. Plus there were so many wondeful extras provided like coffee and other goodies in the room. Our stay ended with the most amazing breakfast. Better than anything we could have had in local restaurant. Duluth has a lot of options for lodging, but you can save yourself a lot of time by just picking this bed & breakfast. You won't be dissapointed.

I suprised my husband with a stay at the A.G. Thompson House for his 40th Birthday, and we couldn't have been happier with our stay! This was our first time staying in a B&B, and we are hooked. We stayed in the Lake Superior Suite which was beautiful, but toured all of the rooms and would have been happy staying in any of the other rooms as well. All of the rooms are tastefully decorated (not foo-fooey) and have a large whirlpool tub to relax or bathe in. Many other reviews have stated that the breakfasts are to die for, and we have to agree...absolutely delicious!!! We would take a trip back up there just for the breakfasts, they are so yummy. And we didn't even bother with lunch either day because they were so filling. Excellent! They also provide you with free DVD's to watch, soda, snacks and games to use any time. So wether you are 1st timers like we were or seasoned B&Bers, don't look anywhere else but the A.G. Thompson house for your stay in Duluth or Superior.

We stayed in the Lake Superior Suite to celebrate my 30th birthday/recent engagement. The stay couldn't have been more perfect. We were treated like royalty here! We weren't even out of the car, and Tim was coming out back to great us. Both Tim & Angie went above the call of duty to accomodate us! The suite was fantastic, and the breakfast even better. We are already planning our honeymoon around staying at the AG Thompson house again! Thank you so much, Tim & Angie

Our visit to the A.G.Thomson House was great. First timers at B&B, Tim and Angie made us feel like part of their family. Upon greeting us in the driveway Angie & Tim made us feel like longtime friends! The Inn is beautiful, very tasteful decor and very comfortable. Everything was great from the complimentary beverages -including wine in evenings- to the soft egyptian cotton sheets to the scrumpious breakfasts. And with hotel prices in Duluth, you cannot go wrong staying here! A+ in our book, we will be visiting them again!

We arrived early in the day for our stay in July. Tim interruped his lawn mowing to give us info on sightseeing in Duluth, helped unload the luggage. He and Angie couldn't have been more accommodating, warm and welcoming. Our room was beautiful, clean, comfortable and felt like home. And the food! Oh my goodness it was so delicious.

Staying at the AG Thompson house was luxurious, surprisingly affordable, and a really great experience. Angie and Tim, the inn keepers, made us feel quite at home and started us off with a glass of wine, a tour complete with history, and advice on places to go in the area. The room was very comfortable, and Angie prepared a breakfast that was fit for royalty. This was the best bed and breakfast we've been too, we highly recommend staying here, and look forward to future visits.

The owners of the AG Thomson House create a truly welcoming and hospitable environment. Angie came out to greet me and my wife Rebeca as we pulled into the parking lot, and she knew our names from then on. The house and the grounds are amazing, and the rooms are cozy and have the perfect personal touch. Guests are made to feel like a part of a family - there are drinks available (even free wine) as well as an extensive DVD library. Breakfast is of course delicious, with different meals served every morning. The large dining room offers a good opportunity to get to know the other guests - all topped off with truly excellent coffee (always the most important part of any morning). All in all the AG Thomson House presents a near perfect atmosphere for any relaxing getaway.

The new owners of A.G. Thompson House were amazing. They were very open to helping out and the free evening wine is a great touch. I competed in a local triathlon that I needed to be at by 7am and checked out by 6:45. My plan was to have my pre race meal at a Perkins, but the owners offered to make me breakfast at 615am! This was above and beyond what I was expecting. Will return in the future.

The A. G. Thompson House is a lovely B & B, perfect for a romantic getaway from the summer heat we endure in St. Louis. We had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend this inn to other travelers. The location in Duluth is both scenic and close to local attractions, the amenities are top notch (comfy bed, DVD player and films, spacious in-room jacuzzi tub), and the hosts (Angie and Tim) manage to be simultaneously welcoming and unobtrusive. This is one of the most delightful B & Bs at which we have ever stayed. If there is a weak point to the A.G. Thompson House it is the breakfast, which is too heavy on the sugary pastries for our taste, but is nonetheless served in a nice dining room and accompanied by plenty of good coffee and conversation. Also, don't miss relaxing or reading on the front porch or in one of the two hammocks located on the beautiful grounds; we spent some of our best time just enjoying the stunning wildflowers and observing the local wildlife, including a deer that walked right past us as we watched from the hammock. The A. G. Thompson House is a truly special find...you won't be disappointed!!!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Angie and Tim are natural hosts and have made the Thomson House very comfortable and luxurious. The bed was very comfortable, shower was great, the room was roomy and without too many knick knacks, and the breakfasts were delicious and very ample. We have stayed in many B&B's, including Ireland, and found this to be one of the tops on our list. They were also very helpful in suggesting restaurants and making dinner reservations for us. We would not hesitate in returning to the Thomson House and enjoying Duluth and the North Shore again.

As soon as you walk into the A. G. Thomson House, you immediately start to relax. The innkeepers, Tim and Angie redifine hospitality as they show you around their beautiful inn. Nestled on top of the hills of Duluth, Lake Superior appears on the horizon. A wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Breakfast is better than anything you can get anywhere else in the city. Tim and Angie have definetely found their calling. Lucky for the rest of us, they love what they do! The rooms are comfortable and clean and the truffles on your pillows will make you look for them at your own house. A great way to spoil yourself, even if it is only for a weekend. It is no wonder why this Bed and Breakfast is featured as the Inn of the month.
