Inn Details
A true respite from the busyness of life, The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast is nestled on a secluded dead-end street adjacent to Oregon creek and amidst turn-of-the-last-century mansions in the historic East End of Duluth, Minnesota. In 1910, grain baron George G. Barnum built his home large enough to showcase his collection of art and accommodate guests. It has been renovated and furnished in a lasting and timeless traditional style and we offer it to you as a historic bed and breakfast lodging property. Experience Old World charm, the elegant and comfortable setting, luxurious accommodations, delicious food and over-the-top service.

This past December we returned to the Firelight Inn for our 3rd visit...each time we have stayed in a different suite...and every suite has it's own "uniqueness". (They are ALL wonderful) Jim and Joy greeted us at the door with a friendly, gracious, warm welcome...they truly know how to make you feel relaxed and welcome. What an amazing, special, romantic place...Jim and Joy have truly mastered the "attention to every special detail" from the beautifully furnished rooms to the absolutely wonderful breakfast in bed to the relaxing music and "toasty" fireplace lite when you enter your suite. When you arrive at the Firelight all of your stress and worries melt away. My husband and I return to the Firelight to reconnect from our busy lives, and just spend some quiet, relaxing time together....and The Firelight Inn is absolutely the perfect place to do just that. Thank You, Jim and Joy, for all you do to make The Firelight Inn what it is...AN AMAZING PLACE. We are looking forward to our 4th trip. Cliff & Amy
A wonderful 35th anniversary!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Firelight Inn to celebrate 35 years of marriage. It was the perfect place to get away from the busyness of our lives and just be together for a few days. The house & grounds are beautiful, in a quiet area on a dead-end street. The Brookside Suite was just what we had hoped for--a romantic, cozy atmosphere to relax & focus on each other. The breakfasts were unbelievable. Couldn't wait to see what was in that basket that smelled so good! Ate our breakfast & then sat together with coffee on the loveseat in front of the fire just to chat & plan our day. Jim & Joy's hospitallity & attention to detail is wonderful. Our stay was everything we hoped for & more.
Breakfast in bed? Yes, please!

For our first trip to Duluth this was surely the most memorable part of the trip. This B&B is a 101 year-old historic home in the eastern part of town, just a few minutes from the interstate and also Duluth's main shopping/dining district. The building itself is impressive with the original woodwork, brick, and windows. The front porch and living rooms are spacious common areas for lounging and enjoying the view or the fireplace. Choices of coffee and tea are available at all times. We picked the Northwoods Room because of the rustic feel to it. The bed was comfortable and the jet tub fit two. Our eastern window had a view of the lake and binoculars were provided to look at the ships going by. Breakfast was a real treat, delivered in a picnic basket each morning at our choice of 9 or 9:30. The spread was quite impresive and every bite delicious. Jim and Joy were fun to chat with and were helpful with directions and informing us about points of interest. They know how to do things right.
Most relaxing-romantic getaway ever!!!!!!

This was our first experience at a Bed & Breakfast and it couldn't have been more perfect! The atmosphere is so calm & relaxing! The breakfast brought to your suite each morning was amazing! The water in the jacuzzi tub actually held its temp very well! The beds were so comfy, I think more comfy then my own bed :) I felt so welcomed and relaxed during our weekend stay, I only wish it had been longer! I honestly cannot wait to go back for another stay!!! I absolutely loved hearing the water rushing through the creek outside our room!!! By far the best experience we have ever had for a romantic getaway!!!

My husband and I had the most awesome experience on our honeymoon at the Firelight Inn! I had not been to Duluth in over 20 years, and what a wonderful experience we had. The home is beautiful and cozy, the rooms are romantic and clean, and the breakfast (served at your room each morning) is fabulous! We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and wish it could have been longer. We'll definitely be back for anniversaries thanks to Jim and Joy.
