Hungry Point Inn

Perfect getaway. It will feel as if you traveled back in time. Merriam is the kindest, friendliest, wittiest, intelligent- individual you will meet in a long time. We are definitely going back. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the hospitality and the best caramel rolls.. EVER!!!

A B&B with character in the architecture, furnishings and Merriam our host. A very quiet remote-feeling location high on a bluff. The house is furnished with colonial period antiques. Its like visiting George Washington's Mount Vernon in Virginia. George's bedroom was a bit small but has a very comfortable bed. The near-by bath had both a tub and a fancy custom shower. Merriam is warm and friendly making us a wonderful, generous, full traditional bacon and egg breakfast with wonderful fresh baked cinnamon buns. We chose to engage in long conversation with Merriam and plan to visit our new friend again.

We loved the real wood fireplace and all the antique decor. A perfect getaway from the busy world that we live in.

Wonderful setting, peaceful and so close to the Twin Cities! The breakfast in front of the hearth was superb.

We had a wonderful stay in this unique home. Merriam is a warm and delightful host. We can't wait to come back. Garry & Tami

Hungry Point Inn was a great getaway experience. The property was nestled at the end of a private neighborhood, on 39 acres. Very quiet and beautiful surroundings. We were in the George Washington room in the back of the main house, with an adajent bathroom (not connected). The bed was comfy, however not a room in which to 'hang out' as there was only one 'sitting' chair. The bathroom was spacious with a tub and seperate 'rainfall' shower. We didn't get a chance to use the balcony off of the bathroom as it was too cold, but would have been a nice additional space. Merriam, the innkeeper, was a delight! She is an amazing cook - both mornings, completely different menus and fabulous food. She is full of great stories and suggestions for what to do in the area. She is a very hard worker and benefits from the help she does receive. Her dog and cats are within a seperate area of the main living area but are very friendly/approachable. She also has sheep and chickens which you can visit. Overall, definitely worth the money - great B&B experience and very close to major roads/areas (very close to Red Wing and the casino). Dirt/gravel road for some of the journey up to the house as a FYI. Has WiFi (very good connection).

My husband and I had a lovely time last weekend at the Hungry Point Inn. We enjoyed the Colonial setting which was so authentic that our host, Merriam, even dressed the part. The room was cozy, the bed extremely comfortable and the shower amazing. The best part was the wonderful breakfast each morning. We stayed two nights and after the first breakfast I couldn't imagine it getting any better, but it did. Merriam is a lovely host who took a little time to sit down and chat after the meal. Its a perfect setting for a weekend away!

This place is beautiful in October. The wood fire place was quite cozy & the room was enchanting. There were two new baby sheep near the barn, so sweet. Delicious breakfast. Overall, lovely place to escape and recharge.

Had a great time. Great property secluded in a very quiet area. Owner was wonderful, best homemade breakfast EVER! she wad very friendly and shared many stories about the history around the breakfast table. We also met 3 wonderful families also. Highly recommend.

Lovely grounds. Do not expect a kitchen as offered for the log cabin. Expensive.

My husband and I were a little creeped out driving through the back woods at sundown to find this place in the almost-dark, but once we got our bearings and settled in, the place was very comfortable and homey. It was exactly what we needed--close enough to go into town for dinner, but a bit off-the-beaten path and surrounded by lots and lots of trees. I really felt like I was getting back to nature. The hostess is a sweet, chatty lady who made us feel right at home. Her breakfast was excellent--tasty homemade cinnamon rolls, bacon, and so much more. We'd come again. I think the log cabin would be a fun place to stay with some friends during a ski weekend, or maybe with my sister and her kids. There was plenty of space indoor and out, lots of board games in the cabin, and some fire pits in the yard. I almost feel like we have to come back just because we didn't take advantage of all that!

This was a very unique and interesting location. Breakfast was excellent and the experience was well worth it!

Hungry Point Inn - relaxing, beautiful country setting, an innkeeper who caters to the individual and most of all a serene atmosphere. The rooms are beautiful, clean and most of all welcoming and inviting. Merriam strives to make everything special for each individual. She is truly one of a kind! I love Hungry Point Inn as a getaway to the country in a charming house full of beautiful antiques and the BEST breakfast in the morning. You will not be disappointed!

Merriam Last, the Innkeeper for this establishment is delightful. She is an excellent resource for her guests with regard to visiting points of interests, restaurants, and local shops. Her morning breakfast is fabulous and it is a special treat to learn about the colonial antiques in her home. We stayed in the refurbished 135 year-old log cabin which is a very unique experience, but amazingly comfortable.

Restful quiet time, great food, very accommodating hostess. Authentic antiques. Close to good restaurants. Hostess is wonderful, very welcoming

Real fireplace was very nice, room was very roomy and updated. Great shower and hard wood floors.

we stayed 10/14-16/2011 and enjoyed our room and the breakfasts were excellent with a lot of food served! merriam (owner) and dawn were very nice and helpful and a joy to visit with. Very interesting.

Beautiful location, atmosphere. Lovely rooms. Breakfast were delicious. A very pleasant place for some time away.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hungry Point Inn. The Hostess was knowledgable about the area and knows how to pull out all of the stops when she makes breakfast! WOW! It is delicious and filling. All of the antiques make the home feel like you've stepped back in time, but I think a few new chairs or couches (made to look old) would be a good addition for guests to feel comfortable sitting, visiting and enjoying the house.

this was our 4th stay at the hungry point and it was different because he inn keeper was not at the b and b but recovering from a bad and very recent fall. her family and helper all pulled together and helped us to still be able to stay and enjoy our time at the inn. it was as lovely and beautiful as always, but we sure did miss our host. lovely lady, hope she is back to full strength soon!

It's a very comfortable home and the grounds are wonderful. We stayed there May 17th and there were many species of warblers right outside the home. Breakfast was fabulous. Excellent coffee, fresh fruit salad, scrambled eggs, cheesy potatoes, cinnamon rolls to die for!

I like the place, particularly the quiet rural environment. There are many "outdated" things in the house that people living in city may have never seen. And the owner is outstandingly nice.

4th visit to Hungry Point Inn, never disappointed. Great service. Mark

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend at the Hungry Point Inn. It is beautifully decorated, very clean, and full of colonial charm. The room was perfect and had a new bath, a wood burning fireplace and the most comfortable bed we've ever slept on away from home. The breakfast served on both mornings was homemade , ample and delicious. The proprietor was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Finally, the setting near farms, woods, wildlife and away from the crowds was so peaceful. We will visit again and I highly recommend this B & B.

Great get away weekend and wonderful hostess. The combination of antiques and modern facilities was perfect. The food was very good. The only surprise was having to leave our room to go into our private bathroom, but we were at the end of the house, so no one was ever in our end of the hallway, so it still felt private.

My husband and I went to the the Hungry Point Inn for our Anniversary. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place to getaway from it all. This was the perfect setting to do just that. We rented out the log cabin, which is within walking distance from the main house. The log cabin is over a century old--it has a small kitchen, eating area, sitting room with a gas burning fireplace, another entire sitting room, and a whirlpool room on the main level. Upstairs is a loft type room with 2 beds, (small tv w/ DVD player) a bathroom with a shower/tub, and another bedroom with 2 beds. It surprised me how much room was in the cabin and especially the upstairs. We were very pleased with the decor-- old world anitiques, wood planked floors, and centry style furnishings. We did have quite a few lady bugs visit us, but it wasn't a cleanliness problem--the cabin was very clean and tidy! We were greeted by Merriam and visited with her for a few minutes and invited to breakfast at the main house each morning at 9. Breakfast was amazing, each morning Merriam would serve us a fantastic array of goodies and it was the perfect start to the day!! Merriam is a gem of a host and is easy and wonderful to visit with. The main house where breakfast is served, is also beautifully decorated, with numerous wood burning fireplaces. The keeping room where we ate had a fabulous (HUGE) fireplace. We toured all the rooms and I would be pleased staying in any of them. Hungry Point Inn is very close to Red Wing, and we caught a movie and went antiquing in Red Wing. If you have questions about where to shop or what to do Merriam is a wealth of knowledge. We saw deer tracks right outside the cabin door after a snowy evening. Wild life is around which just makes this place all the more welcoming. We don't normally seek out B&B's, but we are so happy that we did for this stay. It truly was a getaway! This is just what we were seeking, and would do the trip again in a heartbeat!

This place was amazing. Even the houses around it were made to look like they all came from the same time period. The food was excellent and the lady who ran the place was the sweetest person ever.

We had a fabulous time at Hungry Point Inn. We were super excited about the fireplace in the room and were even more excited that the weather was cool enough and that we got to use it. The Inn was extremely charming and very relaxing. It was set out in the country so it was out of the way from teh general traffic, but yet near enough to the acitivities and sights so that it was accessible. Our Innkeeper, Merriam, was wonderful and super adorable in her period dress when breakfast was served. The breakfast was absolutely stunning and delightful. The baked goods were some of the best we have ever had. It was a wonderful weekend and we would recommend Hungry Point Inn to anyone looking for a little different take on a Bed and Breakfast.

loved chatting with merriam; wonderful food; fabulous area to explore

Other than Merriam 'yelling' at us for not being patient when we rang the door bell twice, the stay at Hungry Point was great. It's a little pricey but the breakfast was incredible, the room clean and comfortable and the remodeled bathroom was great. Merriam is a great host and we enjoyed our stay.

I've stayed at bed and breakfasts before but this one by far was the best. Carmel rolls fresh out of the oven. MMM Room was beautiful and the grounds the house was on was like going to New England. Definitely going back again!.

The accommodations were one of a kind. Her attention to detail and hospitality was tremendous!

We had a fabulous stay at the inn after a day of skiing.

I titled my review that way because that's exactly how I felt. Transported to a different era, taken care of and spoiled. The lodging is beautiful and full of wonderful antiques and the breakfast is to die for! I would definitely recommend it to my friends!

Excellent food, very traditional colonial era.

Perfect, peaceful, like staying in a Colonial museum.

I felt like I was stepping into history as I entered this beautiful B&B. Wonderful antiques decorate each colonial style room. My fiance and I thought our room was romantic and peaceful, and we loved our large private bath. The innkeeper was delightful to talk to: friendly, funny and informative. We thought her breakfasts were scrumptious from the homemade coffee cake, to the bacon and eggs, and the largest and most gooey cinnamon rolls ever. We'll be back!

My husband and I stayed at this delightful inn. We loved the stepped-back-in-time feel of this place. The host was a joy to visit with. The food was scrumptious. We have been recommending this to friends and plan to return ourselves.

My husband and I stayed at the Inn in the Cottage for our 13th Wedding anniversary. We loved it so much we returned three weeks later with our 9 and 7 year old who had so much fun. The Inn keeper is an excellent host, great cook, and wonderful person. It felt like we were on a great visit to Grandma's house. She offers, peace, quiet, and relaxation! We can't wait to return when the snow is on the ground!

This was not what we had expected when we arrived, but it definetly turned into a far more relaxing and peaceful vacation from reality than we would have ever dreamed. It was like a piece of history in the woods--- with an incredibly relaxing whirlpool. The owner was a delight to talk with and learn about all of the wonderful antiques throughout the house. A definite recommendation to anyone that would like to feel the peace and relaxation of a small part of history.
