  • Inn Details

    *Quality Assured Inn of the Minnesota Bed & Breakfast Association. Step back in time to an era long forgotten, when craftsmanship and attention to detail abounded. Relax in the library by a romantic fire in the winter or sit on our screened in porch and watch the world go by in the summer. Each room has its own fireplace and 3 of the rooms have whirlpools. Indulge yourself with a gourmet breakfast of homemade scones, fresh peaches with custard sauce, and wild rice quiche. Shop for antiques or the latest fashions in pretty Red Wing. Hiking and biking trails are near by. Visit some of the most pristine vistas along the Mississippi River Valley from Red Wing to Wabasha.

    I should have known we'd love the Candlelight Inn from the moment we walked in. Music from the romantic film "Somewhere in Time" was playing, and it's one of my wife's favorite movies! And what a lovely step back in time it was. The house was beautiful, hot cocoa and muffins were delivered to our door in the morning and the breakfast was delicious. Lynette is a food writer for the local paper and, after sampling a few of her dishes, we bought her Candlelight Inn cookbook. Part of the Inn's tradition is to leave a few coins hidden about your guest room for the next traveler to find. We found a few before we learned of the story, then stashed a few more. Lynette and Zig are charming hosts and were a pleasure to be around (we spent two hours over breakfast because the conversation with Lynette and the other guests was as good as the food). When in Red Wing, let them pamper you!

    Candlelight's Innkeeper is a delight!

    We were traveling in Minnesota and didn't have a place to stay when we arrived in Red Wing; we found out about the Candlelight and called at 5pm for a room. They had a room for the night and were exceptionally accommodating with our last-minute arrival. The rooms are very nice and generously sized with a fairly comfy bed; the bathrooms are smaller and older but as expected for the age of the house. Lynette was extremely helpful in giving us a lot of Red Wing history and recommendations for dinner. The highlight had to be the breakfast. Absolutely delicious! Especially tasty were the potatoes and cheese baked in little ramekins. Lynette sat and visited with us for a long time while we were eating and it was great conversation. She definitely goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Thanks for the hospitality!

    a great place to stay

    we celebrated our anniversary here. the innkeepers lynette and zig were the best. we more than enjoyed the hearty breakfasts served each morning and even before breakfast a tray with coffee,muffins,orange juice delivered to our door. the inn itself is outstanding in its atmosphere - all woodwork is in the original condition. fireplaces abound and a cozy whirlpool in our room put this weekend over the top. i would surely recommend this b&b to anyone looking for an outstanding place to stay.
