  • Inn Details

    Secluded thirty-five acre B&B three miles from Brainerd. Private bath themed rooms with names such as "three marigolds and one other flower", "starry starry night", and "miss 4th of july" allude to the unique decor in each room. In addition to Inn rooms, you may stay to rear of old fashioned general store with 1930-40's cars and trucks parked beside antique gas pump, in loft of barn with French doors opening onto balcony overlooking acres of land, or in cozy cabin snuggled amongst pines. Slow your pace to enjoy gardens with markers identifying plants or take a stroll down walking trail through woods. Just look for sunflower patch that marks trail. Huge stone fireplace on inn's porch and in cottages. A hearty homemade breakfast prepared with organic and locally grown ingredients served in "queen of the meadow blooms tearoom", an 1890 railroad passenger car, as well as a dessert/snack is included in room charge. Browse the Pumpkin Hill Market for items to delight anyone with an old-fashioned heart. Whiteley Creek Homestead takes you back to a time when laundry swung lazily on a line in the breeze.

    Delightful! My husband and I were up there a few weekends ago, and it was so relaxing! No kids, no TV in the cottage, just quiet and birds and forest and good, healthy food! The owners have taken great care to make every aspect of your stay restful and comfortable--truly a retreat away from the rat race! Decorated with charming country antiques that are functional and comfortable, not fussy. You aren't afraid to break anything here, it's all designed for your R&R. Enjoy!
