Join us for a relaxing stay amoung the beautiful Norway Pines of Northern Minnesota. Bike along the Paul Bunyan Trail: 110 miles of paved forested trail or the Heartland Trail: the oldest paved trail in Minnesota. If needed, we offer Shuttle Service for up to six bikers. You will see birds from as small as hummingbirds to as large as the bald eagle s that nest along the river. You can relax near the crackling fire in the great room or take out a canoe and explore the wildlife. After a restful nights sleep, you'll enjoy a delicious gourmet breakfast surrounded by the hummingbirds on the deck. Visit us soon and enjoy all the Walker area has to offer from boating, fishing and golf to shopping at the unique gifts shops.

Since it was our first stay in a B&B we did not know what to expect. It was a wonderful stay and we will definitely return, perhaps in the summer to bike!

The owners of the bed and breakfast are some of nicest people you cold ever meet. The breakfast had to be the highlight because it was sooooo delicious. They really go all out. Our breakfast company, the humingbirds, were fun to watch and the other guests seemed to enjoy this as well.

The hosts are wonderful. The food scrumptious and the dog, oh so sweet. Our room was a wee small but we managed. The walls could use sound proofing too.

The dining was the best part. The scenery was just beautiful with lots to do: biking, canoeing, and enjoying the small towns. It was very clean and cozy. The only odd thing was that our room was adjacent to a common area, the wall being a sliding glass door with only a thin curtain to separate. It left little privacy. We added a blanket to the window/door to give us the privacy we sought.
