About Our Inn
Nestled against the bluffs in Southeastern Minnesota, the Habberstad House provides a relaxing retreat for visitors to Lanesboro. This 1897 Queen Anne Victorian was built by Norwegian immigrants and previously served the community as a hospital and a boarding house. Welcoming overnight guests since 1997, the Habberstad House features beautiful gardens and graceful latticed moon gates surround the porches on both the first and second floors. Two parlors and a large front porch provide gathering spaces for couples or groups. The dining room table can seat 12. The five luxurious guest rooms in the house are uniquely furnished, each with a private bath. Located at the top of the second floor, the Orchid Room features lovely antique furniture and a gorgeous art deco light fixture. The Rose Suite has a separate reading room and a private second-floor covered porch. The Heather Suite provides a lovely view of the gardens and a heart-shaped whirlpool tub. The Scandinavian Suite is in the new addition, with an in-room whirlpool tub and a private deck overlooking the gardens. All of the second floor rooms have queen beds. The third floor Amish Suite is nearly 800 square feet, and is perfect for a girls weekend or for that writer looking for a quiet place to finish a book. Newly remodeled in 2019, it has two king beds and a beautiful luxury shower. The separate Carriage House provides a quiet refuge for an intimate getaway. Also remodeled in 2019, it features a luxury spa bath with a soaking tub and a gorgeous shower. Guests are provided a scrumptious made-from-scratch breakfast in the morning.
Things To Do In Our Area
Lanesboro is the Bed and Breakfast capital of Minnesota. The town of 750 people is also a dedicated art campus. The scenic town is nestled in the bluffs in the Driftless Region, noted for the absence of glaciers through the area, resulting in a beautiful rolling landscape and forested areas. Lanesboro’s livable rural community can be traced to pairing the town’s natural and cultural assets to accessibility. Lanesboro is located in southeastern Minnesota community and is a destination for thousands of visitors. Its roots are from the building of the historic Lanesboro Dam more than 150 years ago. It owes much of its current tourism success to the conversion of an abandoned rail line into a paved bicycle trail.
Located in Fillmore County, Lanesboro is located along the Root River and surrounded by rolling countryside and rocky bluffs. It was a milling community in the 1870s, when most of the downtown commercial district, which remains today, was built.
Today, people bicycle, walk and even cross-country ski along the Root River State Trail. On the river, people enjoy canoeing, kayaking, tubing and fishing. Once in town, it’s an easy walk to the Commonweal Theatre, the Lanesboro Arts Center, the local history and natural history museums, farmers market, or art galleries, restaurants, and our many bed-and-breakfasts. Lanesboro is not only as a tourist spot but enjoys a diverse economy based on agriculture, manufacturing, retail businesses, and the arts.
