General Information

The Magic Door is a stately, three story Victorian located on a spacious corner lot, just two blocks from downtown Northfield. The three room inn is quaint and relaxing with beautiful furnishings, designer towels and bedding, quality mattresses and newly remodled bathrooms. As experienced B&B patrons, we have strived to create the type of place we personally would love to frequent by providing all the amenities we hope to find during our travels and getaways. The result is an extremely comfortable, pampering atmosphere that is romantic, rejuvenating and... magical!
