My husband and I celebrated out Anniversery at the A.G. Thomson House last September. We stayed in the Lake Superior Suite. The room was so comfortable and very large. It was really clean and the decorating was beyond my expectations. The room had a deck that overlooked a private wooded area. We spent a lot of time watching birds and wild life on the deck. This was our first time experiancing a breakfast. Angie and Tim were really welcoming and easy to talk with. They made you feel right at home. The food was amazing and the grounds were groomed to perfection. We had a wonderful experiance and plan on visiting the A.G. Thomson House again in the near future. I highly recomend this B&B to people that want more of a sophisticated yet shabby chic feel!
A nice place to stay

Angie and Tim--what a wonderful B&B you have created! My husband and I have never stayed at one before, but we know you have the others beat! The room was perfect! We loved the lights, the bed, the whirlpool, the fireplace, the sink, …. everything down to the doorknobs! I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it is all just perfect! The mansion itself is beautiful. The decorating of the living room, the dining room and the sun room is also just perfect. Don’t change a thing about this place! We especially appreciated all the little things Tim and Angie do for their guests. There are always baked goodies to eat downstairs. The complimentary drinks (both soft drinks and wine) are a very nice touch. Breakfast is delicious (and the room delivery is also a very nice touch). We will remember our stay always. Just when we think we’ve mentioned it all, we think of more things: first aid kits, games, and hundreds of movies. All these extras make this kind of accommodation very special. Tim and Angie are so very nice and should be very proud of what they have created. They were both born to do this. I have never seen a mansion so perfectly maintained. And Tim and Angie go out of their way for their guests. It can all be summed up in one word: PERFECT!
Gracious innkeepers and amazing B&B!!!!!

We booked 3 nights at the Thompson House to unwind after Christmas and celebrate my wife's birthday. This has been the high point of our holiday! Tim & Angie are wonderful innkeepers and have created a very special get away. THey have thought of everything to make the stay special for their guests. Some of the things that stand out: extra big whirlpool tub for 2, breakfast delivered 2 your room, snacks and drinks provided, etc. Everything is so perfect you will not want to leave for a minute! We've stayed at many inns and can say this one truly stands ahead of the rest. I'm not usually one to write online reviews, in fact I've never done it until now. But I'm sumbitting this one and we don't actually check out until tomorrow! That's how happy we are with our choice. For those that are regular B&Bers you know it is the innkeepers that make or break a stay.....Tim & Angie will MAKE your stay!

We were able to stay at the A.G. Thomson House for 3 days and it was such a beautiful home. Tim and Angie are such a friendly couple who truly loved sharing their home and time with the guests. The breakfasts are amazing and I cannot wait to recreate some of Angie's wonderful dishes. The rooms are beautifully kept with all the amenties you could ever want. Tim and Angie are willing to accomodate all your needs and have gone the extra mile to include DVD's, games, cookies in the evenings for the guests pleasure. I hope I am able to return in the future.
