5 out of 5Come home to Habberstad House
November 18, 2012
My husband and I have been guests at Habberstad House many times since we first discovered it several years ago. Nancy and Dave know how to make you feel at home. If we want privacy and quiet, our room (any of the rooms) is warm and welcoming. We have stayed in every room over the years and each is clean and decorated tastefully. The beds are very comfortable and linens, blankets and bedspreads are always crisp and clean. Lunch is never needed when we stay at Habberstad House as the breakfasts served are more than generous. Nancy and Dave serve a gormet breakfast that is always very filling and they often create and aquire new and wonderful recipies. Served family style, breakfast is, in our experiences over the years, a time to enjoy wonderful food, meet new people from anywhere in the world, and to be treated more as family than guests. Thanks to Nancy and Dave, our visits to Lanesboro always feel like coming home. CT
5 out of 5Awesome!!
October 31, 2012
Our stay in the carriage house was fantastic!! I read all of the reviews and it lived up to all of the hype. Dave and Nancy make you feel right at home and the breakfast was better than we could have imagined. We left Sunday morning so refreshed and we can't wait to go back. It's the best place we have ever stayed.
4.6 out of 5Authenticity in the perfect small town setting
October 24, 2012
Dining was not at the B&B however, there were many choices in town and the Village Pub was wonderful for dinner. Hosts were very friendly and attentive along with poodle Lena. Gorgeous yard and outdoor water fountain. Wonderfully decorated and authentic antiques.
4.2 out of 5the good and the less than good
October 24, 2012
The food was excellent and the room large and beautiful. My only complaint is that the innkeeper was a bit unfriendly when we arived 20 minutes early and when she asked me to move something of mine. We had very friendly and welcoming innkeepers at our previous two inns and it took a while for me to feel comfortable with the female innkeeper here.
