For our first visit to Lanesboro, we wanted to stay somewhere that was in the heart of the charming town...but yet in a location that would provide the quiet that the countryside brings. We found that with Hillcrest Hide-Away! Marv and Carol have created a very inviting B&B, with all of the personal touches that a caring relative or friend would provide -- homemade chocolate chip cookies in our guestroom; locally-made soap in the bathroom; a basket with freshly-squeezed orange juice, yummy preserves, and freshly-baked bread every morning (and even a little Baggie to hold any leftover bread for later!); a nice selection of magazines, books, and games; and, of course, great tasting and beautifully-presented breakfasts. All that...and a charming Arts & Crafts home with beautiful landscaping! Hillcrest Hide-Away is truly a lovely spot. We highly recommend it!

Hillcrest Hide-Away was a wonderful experience. We loved the quiet and the "off the beaten path" feel. Within walking distance of everything, including the bike trail, without the hustle and bustle. Enjoyed the Essence of Laneboro products, the freshly baked cookies, the always available ice tea and freshly baked bread each morning. Marv and Carol are excellent hosts and the breakfasts were beyond any expectation we had. We hope to make it an annual weekend away! Melody and Kevin, Rogers, MN

Be sure to purchase Carol's cookbook. Today I made her apple streusel muffins and intend to make every recipe in the book! YUM!

Hillcrest Hideaway offered us a splendid and authentic Lanesboro experience with gracious, knowledgeable hosts. Marv and Carol were eager to provide information (with brochures!) about Lanesboro dining and attractions. We even saved money by using a coupon they provided. They went well above and beyond my expectations in setting up a surprise post-dinner arrangement in their backyard to surprise my now-fiancee. Thank you Marv and Carol. It was a special two days.

You will be extremely pleased with this bed and breakfast. The keepers are extremely flexible and are willing to accommodate to meet you needs. In addition, they are knowledgeable of the area and attractions. You will be thrilled with all there is to do in such a small town. Or, you could just hide-away in their friendly home.

We chose the Hillcrest Hide-Away at the last minute -from the library parking lot. Our choice for a B&B could not have been better. Marv and Carol were excellent hosts. The accomodations, conversation and food were all the best. We will be back for more relaxation and good times.

A warm loaf of bread at your door at 7:00 in the morning sets a mark of excellence that places this B&B above the rest!!! Gourmet breakfast tops it off!

Four of my friends went to Lanesboro to ride bikes and "get away from it all". Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs but the highlight of our trip was staying at Hillcrest Hide-Away. What a delight! Many personal touches, including home-made chocolate chips cookies right out of the oven! The breakfast was scrumptious, and the innkeepers, Marv and Carol, were a delight! I would definitely stay again. My friends commended me for finding such a quaint B & B where we could hang out and enjoy looking at Marv's beautiful gardening!

Five of us women came to Lanesboro to bike and stayed at Hillcrest Hide-Away. It was the greatest B & B we've stayed at, with wonderful amenities and the best personal touches. It rained the first day we were though, so we played games around the big table in the suite. Marv and Carol are very gracious hosts, who truly care about their guests. Great location, just a few blocks from the main hub-bub, which was really nice. We loved the back yard and play to return next year for our annual outing to bike.

the hosts were the nicest people anyone could ever imagine. They were not bothersome, but always available for any request, no matter ho small. The rooms very cozy, but plenty spacious, and had many small touches, such as fabulous handsoap from the local essence shop. The couple was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area, as well as the current information and didnt hesitate to suggest to us places to go or things to do that only people as in tune with the town as them would know. they were very conversational during meals, but in no way overbearing. they relate well to the guests and are genuinely interested in what you have to say. The setting was wonderful - close enough to town, but just away from the hustle and bustle. The deer came right into the yard and you could walk right up to them - beautiful gardens, tons of songbirds... I couldn't have asked for more genuinely kinds hosts who were authentically happy to have us, and excited to cater to our specific desires. I simply wouldn't have changed a thing about the weekend. ...and ask for the pecan pancakes! Nick and Brooke

We just returned from our girls weekend in Lanesboro. The Hillcrest Hide-away was fantastic. Carol and Marv are excellent hosts that pay attention to the details. We stayed in the Harmony Suite. It had a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa in the sitting area. We also had our own bathroom. They had a book called "If" in our room that kept us girls talking for hours. We had fresh homemade cookies and fresh baked bread at our door both mornings at 7:00am. Breakfast was excellent and it was great to have Carol and Marv sit down with us as we ate and tell us about themselves. They never imposed, they always asked if we minded if they join us. We had a back entrance to our room, so we didn't distrub the house when we came in. And a great deck to have a glass of wine and enjoy the quiet night. Everything was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. We plan to return with our husbands some day.

Upon entering Hillcrest - welcome & our names on a chalkboard greeted us along with our host. Freshly backed bread w/ juice & today's weather forecast greeted us outside our door before breakfast. Such gracious & kind owners. We'd come again.

Wonderful Inn - impeccably clean, away from the hub-bub, but still only a few blocks from the downtown scene. Very personable & with wonderful food.

Though Lanesboro is a small town, Hillcrest is still away from the "main drag" and much quieter than other places I have stayed in town. The space was relaxing, homey and wonderful. The back deck was a great place to watch the sun set and the stars come out. A pleasant walk UP Church Hill from the restaurants, and the theater.
