Bed and Breakfast for ';babymoon';

Would like to take my wife on a 3-4 day long weekend babymoon in March or April of 2009. She has always wanted to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. We live in Hanover (near Albertville, Monticello area) and would be willing to drive 2-3 hours. Looking for suggestions for a romantic Bed and Breakfast in MN. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Unfortunately, your travel time narrows the field quite a bit from what I’d normally suggest. Check out the top-rated TA B%26amp;Bs in the Twin Cities, Northfield and Stillwater. Fargo I hear is up and coming, but it’s heading north while the weather is iffy. I’ve really enjoyed Grandview Lodge in Nisswa and have sent many friends there. They do have a spa which might appeal to your wife, but it’s not a B%26amp;B atmosphere. If you’re willing to drive up to 5 hours, I would also include Lanesboro and Duluth in your search.

I%26#39;ve always wanted to try the ';Lighthouse'; B%26amp;B in Two Harbors on the North Shore -

here%26#39;s a few in the area -

Lighthouse Bed And Breakfast -

www.lighthousebb.org

3rd Street, Two Harbors - (888) 832-5606

B %26amp; B Whistle Stop Bed %26amp; Breakfast - www.bnbwhistlestop.com

505 8th Ave, Two Harbors - (218) 834-5571

If you%26#39;re going in March, you should do the Chocolate March that the B%26amp;Bs along the St. Croix River put on every weekend that month: check www.innsofthevalley.com. It%26#39;s a tour in which each inn offers various chocolate treats, and people who stay overnight get extra perks. My favorite of those inns is the Summit Inn in Center City; the proprietor is very warm and friendly (get the Aerie Suite).

If you want a classic Victorian for your first time, try the Phipps Inn in Hudson or Rosewood Inn in Hastings, which also are a short walk from shopping and restaurants (though both are better in Hudson). Details are in my story ';Chocolate on the St. Croix.%26#39;%26#39;

Oh, and congratulations!

There is one in Excelsior - The Bird House Inn and Gardens (hasn%26#39;t been reviewed on TA yet, but nice inside (more relaxed than other B%26amp;Bs) and the exterior was just repainted in the two years)

There is also one in Jordan - The Nicolin Mansion

Otherwise, I would recommend Stillwater.
