    We needed a weekend away, and we found the right place! From the time we got there everything fell into place, Jim made us feel right at home. We did not get the chance to meet Joan but I'm sure she's just as kind. The food was out of this world good!! Sooo good, I'd go back just to eat. This was our first b&b so we weren't sure what to expect, we are at a stand still because we want to talk and not be hushed, but really enjoy every other thing about this place. I'm sure we'll be back! Unforgettable place that's for sure !!

    Gracious Host, Comfy Bed, Affordable rate

    We just returned from a 2 night stay at the Ellery House Bed and Breakfast in Duluth. We stayed in the Thomas Wahl Room which has a beautiful view of Lake Superior from the seating area located in the room’s bay window. During the summer, the lake wouldn’t be visible, but a beautiful canopy of trees would be lovely as well. The room’s corner fireplace is very romantic. The inn is located 2 short blocks from the 7+ mile Lakewalk along Lake Superior which is beautiful all 4 seasons of the year. My husband has a herniated disc and he said the bed was perfect. The furniture throughout the B&B consists of beautiful antiques, all which coordinate beautifully with the natural woodwork in this architectural gem. The breakfasts are unbelievably wonderful. I have probably stayed in 15 different B&Bs, and the breakfasts here were the best. The fresh fruit was wonderful quality, and beautifully presented. The egg dishes were fabulous, and the raspberry muffins with a light lemon glaze were outstanding. The snacks and beverages provided here is a very nice feature. There is an espresso/latte machine which looked quite fun- too bad I don’t drink coffee. There was Port and Sherry wine, also hot water for tea, or chocolate. There are snacks as well--fabulous chocolate chip cookies that are made daily, also nuts and salty snack mix. The hosts Jim and Joan were so helpful. I have gone to Duluth for years, and Jim pointed us to small restaurants with great food that I had never heard of. With the absence of snow for skiing, he gave us good ideas for other things to do. His charming conversation made us feel like we had been friends for years. I highly recommend the Ellery House B&B

    Great place!

    We stayed three nights at the Ellery House and enjoyed it very much. It was clean, comfortable and very nice to come back to each night. We loved the breakfasts and Jim is a wonderful host. It was one of our most enjoyable B&B experiences.

    Amazing Stay! It made our Anniversary Weekend Memorable!

    This victorian dream house, decorated for Christmas, is very ideal for a anniversary stay in Duluth, Mn. We stayed in the Daisy suite which is a lovely 3 room suite with a grandeur turn of the century bathroom and quite a view from the sunroom. The innkeepers were knowledgeable about the area and were able to make applicable suggestions of hot spots in the area, even in January. Mornings greeted us with gorgeous sunrises over the lake, and the wood-burning stove wrapped us in warmth. Breakfasts were dreamy as baked french toast, egg and ham souffle, wide varieties of fresh fruit and to die for strawberry rhubarb muffins! We want to go back soon!
