Hillcrest Hide-Away
Take a step into peace and comfort at the top of lovely Lanesboro, Minnesota. Set in a quiet neighborhood atop a bluff in the middle of town, our Craftsman style home built in 1927 is a true example of this homey architecture. The warm original woodwork, the light filtering through the many windows and the feeling of spaciousness invite you to relax and enjoy life. All 4 of our rooms are large, with private bathrooms and space for additional sleepers. We have 2 rooms which are comfortable for those with limited mobility. We have off street parking, bike storage, and central air conditioning.
In the morning, wake to the smell of the freshly baked homemade bread placed with a beverage outside your door. A full, hearty breakfast will follow in the dining room.
