If there was an Olympic event that handed out gold, silver and bronze medals for the top bed and breakfasts in North America …. Solglimt and the Bed and Breakfast Inns of Duluth Minnesota have just won the Silver Medal in the new issue of Coastal Living! Visit the Coastal Living web page to see how we ranked in their listing of the top 10 B&B towns in North America. http://www.coastalliving.com/coastal/travel/bestofthecoast/article/0,14587,1829891,00.html

The tall ships Pride of Baltimore II, from its namesake city, and the U.S. Brig. Niagara of Erie, Pa., arrived in Duluth at Solglimt on their 10-city tour of the Great Lakes. These two War of 1812-style reconstructions will be joined by other maritime visitors for a three-day festival of music, entertainment and food with a focus on the maritime history of Duluth and the Great Lakes. The third ship is the Schooner Madeline, a reconstruction of a Great Lakes vessel that sailed the upper Great Lakes 150 years ago.

Of course we are full at the Inn for this event but the weather is wonderful here on Lake Superior at Solglimt Bed and Breakfast! A walk from Solglimt, along the Lakewalk to the Rose Gardens that are blooming is a great way to relax while here. We have some weekday availability if you make your reservation soon.
