Inn Details
"Quality Assured Inn" of the Minnesota Bed & Breakfast Guild. The Historic Rand House in Monticello, MN is part of Random-one of the last remaining large country estates built prior to the turn of the last century by leading Minneapolis families. Built as a wedding present to his bride, Susan Mealey, by Rufus Rand, heir to a natural gas lighting fortune, The Rand House served as the prominent family's summer home for more than 60 years. The estate's secluded four acre grounds include extensive flower gardens, New England style stone fences and hundreds of feet of luxurious lilac bushes ringing its perimeter. Now totally renovated, The Rand House has become a popular weekend retreat for history buffs and antiquers visiting the more than two dozen antique shops nearby. The Rand House is a very special place nearby, yet so far away in time and space. A place to relax. To escape. To think. To re-energize. Perhaps to dream a little. To get to know the person you thought you knew. To lose yourself in the charms of a grander, gentler time...
