Inn Details
The Scandinavian Inn is an environmentally-sensitive bed and breakfast where you can enjoy the simple pleasures of an inviting small Minnesota town nestled within the bluffs of the Root River. This five-bedroom bed and breakfast is in the residential neighborhood of Lanesboro, Minnesota. It is a Victorian home built in 1893 by Ole Habberstad, a young entrepreneur and business man who had made the journey from the Norwegian community of Eidsvold in the mid-1800's. The home features Southern pine woodwork, period furnishings, worldwide travel mementos, high ceilings, transom windows, spacious grounds, and an inviting front porch to relax with coffee or a glass of wine. The rooftop gazebo offers a picturesque panoramic view of the Lanesboro valley. Lanesboro is a most unusual small town tucked into a Root River valley, with professional live theater, a waterfall, a central park, and an active arts community. Lanesboro is ideally located on one of Minnesota's most popular and scenic bicycle trails, offering three different routes of travel. Amish neighbors produce goods such as furniture, quilts, and preserves, which are available for purchase in Lanesboro and nearby communities. From the Scandinavian Inn, all locations in Lanesboro are easily accessed by foot or bicycle. Park your car until it's time to return home.

Peter and Vicki went out of their way to make our stay exceptional! This is an excellent Bed & Breakfast that exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean and extremely comfortable. The food was delicious! The service was personalized-they even provided homemade hot chocolate when it wasn't on the breakfast menu, as an extra special treat, just to please us! This Bed & Breakfast surpasses ones that we have been to in both England and Ireland and those were superb!
wonderful breakfast!

Delightful, comfortable, easy-going hosts. Super bed and bedding. Great setting in lovely Lanesboro. But here's the kicker: best breakfast I have ever been served in a B&B. Beautiful ingredients, thoughtful menu, perfect preparation.

My wife and I have stayed at several different Bed and Breakfasts in Lanesboro over the years but this is our first time at the Scandinavian Inn. Peter & Vicki were great hosts, very nice accommodations and fantastic breakfasts. Will stay again. Mick & Ann

We inquired about a vegan (no egg or dairy ingredients) breakfast. Peter said he had not prepared a vegan breakfast for guests before, so we agreed on oatmeal and soy milk. But he did not serve us oatmeal. Instead, we had a wonderful vegan quiche, with seitan on the side, with several kinds iof vegan muffins, and lots of fresh fruit, as well as orange juice, tea, and coffee. Truly far beyond the call of duty!

This was my first time at a B&B, and was not disappointed in any aspect of the the Scandinavian Inn from their accommodations, host and hostess, good food, and area. Peter and Vickie are very accommodating, as they even set-up a mini breakfast area on our day of departure because we were not able to dine with the others for breakfast. I would highly recommend the Scandinavian Inn.
