If you have never been to Duluth, you may not know that it is possible to ski right smack in the middle of the city. In fact, Spirit Mountain is just minutes from our Duluth inn. Enjoy the best of both worlds when you stay with us and ski at Spirit: walk along the frosty beach at dawn and dusk, and hit the slopes during the day.

When the lake looks like this, it is time to bring your skis to Duluth

The mountain is open from 9am to 8pm Sunday through Thursday, and stays open an additional hour on Fridays and Saturdays. Hours will be shorter toward the end of March, when the season starts to wind down, so come ski in Duluth now.

There are 22 downhill ski runs on Spirit Mountain; with five chairlifts, one rope tow, one handle tow and one ski carpet, the mountain is easy to negotiate and never feels too crowded. In addition, 22 kilometers of trails are available for cross-country skiing, and they are groomed for both classic and skate skiing.

So grab your skis and head to our Duluth lodging on Lake Superior. Enjoy fantastic views of Lake Superior and St. Louis Bay while you are up on the slopes, and take in intimate views of the lake from our inn.

January to April can be one of the most beautiful times of year here at our Duluth b&b. It’s because of the ice. Lake Superior and the harbor freeze over with chunky icebergs. They shift as the temperatures rise and fall. Looking out the window is like looking on a great work of art.

Come watch the ice shift in front of our Duluth inn.

Indeed, winter is a contemplative time here on the shores of Lake Superior. It is a time to bundle up and pick your way along the shore. At night, when skies are clear, the clarity of the stars is amazing. We find ourselves appreciating small things, like a warm cup of tea between our hands, a hot fire in the hearth, and a good conversation.

It’s also a time to indulge in comfort foods. We have fun creating satisfying, hearty breakfasts at our bed and breakfast MN during the winter. The kitchen is cozy and sparks creativity. And it is so satisfying to bite into something warm and freshly baked.

Our guests enjoy eating their way through many Duluth restaurants during their stay. Some are drawn to the creamy, aromatic foods at India Palace, just a few blocks from our MN inn. Winter is the best time to drink buckets of Chai! Other guests love to unwind at nearby Fitger’s Brewery, where there is almost always live music.

So come stay at our inn and watch the ice shift on Lake Superior. It’s fun.
