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.
