A Relaxing Midweek Stay At Our Duluth B&B

Have a glass of wine at Bellisio's

Sometimes, the perfect trip is a spontaneous night or two away from the routine during the week. There are often midweek specials at our Duluth B&B, making such an escape all the more appealing. Restaurants are often less crowded during the week, bike and foot trails have fewer people on them, and it is easier to find a boat or bike to rent. In short, there are too many advantages to not consider having a weekend getaway at a Canal Park Inn during the week.

The Lakewalk is a scenic paved boardwalk that passes close to our Canal Park Inn. It is a great place to stretch your legs with a walk or a run, or to ride a bike without having to worry about cars. Along the way, there are many good spots to stop, rest, and take in the majestic sight of Lake Superior – where there is usually interesting shipping traffic, and waterfowl abound. Be sure to start your day with a filling, nutritious breakfast at our Duluth MN bed and breakfast before heading out for a day of exercise.

Some people like nothing better than an elegant dinner after a day of fresh air. If this is you, perhaps you’ll want to dine at Bellisio’s Italian Restaurant. Restore yourself with pasta, meat, or salad, and be assured that your server will help you select the perfect wine to accompany your meal. With over 125 wines by the glass, a wine cellar housing over 4,000 bottles, and an incredibly knowledgeable staff, we feel certain that you will be delighted.

Other folks think beer is the only drink to follow a day of physical activity out-of-doors. For you, we recommend Fitger’s Brewhouse, Brewery and Grille, located close to our Duluth Minnesota bed and breakfast. With seasonally appropriate brews on tap and live music most days of the week, it is a great place to relax and be restored.

After a night or two away during the week, you’ll head home ready to work and tackle projects. We look forward to seeing you.

Green Bed and Breakfast in Duluth MN

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Here at Solglimt, we care about the environment. How can we not? Situated as we are, on a seven-mile strip of land that juts out into Lake Superior, we are necessarily stewards of the land and water. Our efforts have been recognized by Green Routes, an organization designed to help environmentally conscientious travelers find like-minded businesses. This is a real honor, as we were selected by a committee of our peers.

Green Routes noted the use of additive-free, fresh, and whenever possible local produce in our food, along with the fact that we make an effort to cater to special dietary needs, likes and dislikes. Our cleaners are all perfume-free, allowing you to fully appreciate the fresh air and the scents of our garden. Green Routes also noted the lovely sandstone fountain in our gardens, which we built out of recycled Duluth curbs. Why fill a landfill when you can create beautiful, functioning art?

Our location is another factor in our designation as a green business. If you enjoy walking or biking, once you arrive at our Duluth MN B&B you may park your car and let it rest. Stroll along the Lakewalk, which meanders along Lake Superior for more than 3 miles. We are close to downtown dining and attractions, when you want to experience the amenities of the city. Or bring your kayak and head out onto peaceful waters.

We are thankful that our efforts to make our bed and breakfast in Duluth MN environmentally friendly have been recognized by our peers and Green Routes.
