Rainbow on the Lake

Originally uploaded by sol_glimt

One of the joys of living on the shores of Lake Superior is moments like this. Everything stops, and we are filled with serenity. This is something we enjoy being able to offer our guests. Although we certainly can’t guarantee rainbows, we can promise that this great lake can work a little magic on you if you let it while you stay at our Lake Superior bed and breakfast. Whether you walk along its shores or gaze at it from our deck or from the window of your room, we hope you will find it relaxing and rejuvenating.

Dive into this!

One of the recipes most frequently requested by guests of our Duluth bed and breakfast is the one for our Lemon Cream and Apricot Scones. Here it is. May they fill your home with the fragrance of good memories at the inn.

Will you fill the stands at the UMD Homecoming game this weekend?

It’s Homecoming at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, October 14 – 17. Folks will be coming in from all over the state to celebrate their alma mater, and we hope to see some of you here at our Duluth inn. The Class of 1959 is having their 50th reunion, with many fun events planned, like the Vista Fleet Excursion harbor tour and lunch. And of course, UMN Bulldog fans will be out in force to support the game on Saturday.

With all the activity surrounding Homecoming, it can be easy to overlook an interesting event scheduled for Friday, October 16th. Actress Hilary Swank and director Mira Nair on Friday will be in Montague Hall 70 at 6:15pm to discuss their upcoming film, Amelia, based on the life of pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart. The event is sponsored by The New York Times and is to be a “live webcast”.  It promises to be lively and fun. (more…)

Dine in private by Lake Superior

Before the decks are covered with winter snows, let’s take a moment to reflect on a glorious moment here at our Duluth inn. Look at this picture, taken here during warm weather. What if you could enjoy your morning coffee here? What if you could sit back and bask in the sun, listening to the gentle lapping of waves on the shore, just a stone’s throw away from where you sit? What if you could share this moment with your good spouse, your good friend, your grown child?

You can, here at our Lake Superior bed and breakfast. We are just minutes from the heart of Duluth, and walking distance to many great shops and restaurants, yet when we sit here drinking locally roasted coffee, we feel that nothing exists except the sky, the lake, and the beach that calls to us. We hope you’ll come experience this sensation for yourself.
