    A beautiful pine wood decor B & B! We were served banana bread fresh out of the oven as we walked in the door, relaxed by a beautiful wood crackling fireplace, enjoyed birds at the birdfeeders as we ate a scrumptious breakfast, and received directions to a perfect cross country skiing trail and a cozy coffee shop (with home cooked food) during our stay... All in all this is a B & B you don't want to miss. We went back home relaxed and refreshed!

    We were able to 'do it all'. Dennis and Charlyne were very helpful with suggesting places to eat, going so far as to make our reservations at The Boulders for dinner. It was end-October and we canoed, biked and attended a concert at Northern Lights Casino. Each day started with great coffee, a fantastic breakfast, and good conversation.

    We chose the b&b because it was so close to the Paul Bunyan Trail and the Heartland trail. It was great walking out the front door across the street and we were on the trail! Charlene and Dennis made us feel at home and welcomed. The accomodations were wonderful. We had a great vacation.


    Totally Awesome!

    A bed and a breakfast, two wonderful things combined at Dennis and Charlyne's little slice of paradise! Excellent breakfast, caramel roll french toast-wow, and chocolate covered strawberries to LIVE for. Lovely hosts and lovely place- will be back soon!
