The place had such charm with the building looking like it should be in Europe somewhere with its unique design. It was tucked back in the woods on a beautiful prep school campus. The staff were wonderful and helpful and even told Us about the history of the place and how they decided to make the building a place for guests to stay. The rooms were clean, bed was comfy and felt like home instead of an hotel room. Breakfast had choices of breakfast sandwiches you could heat up, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, toast, yogurt and fresh fruit. They had an assortment of coffee, tea and hot chocolate in KCups to pick from. And some delicious homemade peanut butter that they make and sell there on campus. If you needed the microwave or fridge it was a full size fridge that was community shared, for the 12 rooms. The trails around the place in the woods behind it looked like they would have been fun, had we had time to explore them.

The property is super charming and very small not too many rooms unfortunately when someone checks out the room attendants start cleaning the room right away so as we wanted to sleep in a tad the room across the hall was getting cleaned at 8:00 a.m. Not optimal for people that never get to sleep in!

Great little inn. It has just a handful of rooms, so if you want to break away from the standard chain hotels, this is a great place. I had possibly the smallest room and it was nice for a single traveler or a couple. The bed was very comfortable. They have a grab 'n go breakfast that was nice. Also, the location is quiet and beautiful.

There was inadequate parking. The rain soaked the ground and the dirt patch was mud, there was no dry path to the Inn from the parking area.

We appreciated the opportunity to walk around the property. The trees are gorgeous and the grounds are meticulously cared for. The Inn provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication leading up to our stay was excellent and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. At the last minute we had to bring our dog along and we were grateful that pets were allowed. Our only problem was that our electronic door keys did not work upon arrival and we had to call security to let us in.

The Inn was a gem for our stay in Faribault. The room was quiet, comfortable, and spacious. I loved the historic charm and architecture combined with modern updates. The breakfast/snack area was well stocked and the property well maintained. I had no problem using the communal refrigerator. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed walking the campus grounds and hiking the trails nearby. It snowed during my stay and the campus was quite beautiful covered in a blanket of white! Would love to stay again!

Nice place to stay. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was very simple, coffee, juice, milk, cereal, muffins . There was a microwave and toaster with some bagels also. All in a nice little nook. The beds and pillows were not that comfortable. My own opinion, somebody else might think there great.

It was a very nice place to stay. The building is old and has a long history, but everything looked new and clean inside. The exterior has an old world look to it, and we’ll maintained. The furniture and bed were comfortable. Staff was super friendly and helpful. my biggest complaint would be that the breakfast was a little sparse. Cereals, breads, muffins, and yogurt. I would recommend it and plan to return next time I am in town.

Bed extremely comfortable, nice view from room, front desk girl super nice at check in. The room was small, with an odd layout (long narrow hall to bathroom). The shower door had not been cleaned and was covered in water spots, and the window sills were really dirty (see picture). The cleaning girls in the morning were too rambunctious and loud, we could hear them in our room with the door closed, and they started early 😔 Then they moved to the breakfast room and were loudly cleaning it around us as we tried to eat (there were a couple hours left before breakfast was over). The waters in the room turned out to cost $5 each? What? When I first saw them, I assumed they were provided for the coffee machine. Since they are warm, and the ice maker in the shared fridge is not working, do you really think they should cost $5 each?
