The month in review-- October (A little late!)

October was the perfect month for a visit to Lanesboro! The weather was AWESOME, restaurant specials were great, and there were fewer visitors with whom to share the trail and shops. Make a note for next year...
Anyway, here is what our guests had to say!


"Thank you for a great visit-- friendly service from the moment of check-in! This is our second time staying here-- once again, a fabulous place to stay. Close to downtown, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and quiet too. The garden is so pretty. Love it here" ---A couple from Ham Lake, MN staying in our Java room, 10/10/2010

"We enjoyed a wonderful four days here at the Coffee Street Inn and on the Root River Bike Trail. How lovely to have had such beautiful, sunny, warm October weather. This is a beautiful part of Minnesota and we hope to return in the future. Your room was very cozy and friendly." --A couple from Oak Park, IL staying in our Latte room, 10/12

"First time in Lanesboro. Beautiful town, great sunny weather and good food at Pedal Pushers. Enjoyed biking on the trail. Your room was cozy and comfortable. Deck and flower garden were a delight! Thank you!" --A couple from Cottage Grove, MN staying in our Latte room, 10/14

"What a fantastic weekend! The weather warmed up just for us and we had a great time exploring the town and the trails, and soaking up the local culture at the Commonweal Theatre. Great food and great coffee...seriously haven't had a bad cup since we got here! Thanks for a cozy place to stay, we'll be back!" --Two friends from the twin cities, MN in our Latte room, 10/31

"A good time was had by all. Good trails and good food--Kari's and Riverside on the Root in Lanesboro and great pie in Whalan. The room was cozy with the five of us but very doable (we weren't in the room much-- on the trail!). 55 miles for us amateurs and 75 for the one avid biker. Thanks!" --A family including grandparents, parents, and a granddaughter in our Double Espresso room, 10/11

"Such a quaint lovely town! 1st time in the area, love it! The Inn was so clean and I loved the bathtub. Enjoyed the trail and best steak in town at Riverside on the Root. Plan on a bike trip next spring." --A woman from White Deer Lake, MN, 10/31

"Wow! what a wonderful stay. The accommodations were perfect for the six of us-- parents, kids, and grandparents. Weather was fantastic for shopping on Friday...supper here and games at the table until late into the night. We'll be back!" --A family from Sleepy Eye, MN and Savage, MN, 10/23

There is one more review.. from some friends of Matt and I--Micah and Sarah Bloom. They came here for their "babymoon" which is somewhat like a honeymoon, but more of a getaway before the birth of their 4th child. We had a great time visiting, jamming (Micah and Matt on guitar, me attempting to fiddle on my violin, and Sarah handing music). We had a great dinner at Pedal Pushers, and we learned all about the wonders of making lip balms at a shop in town. They even got out biking! Anyway, Micah drew an awesome picture in the little notebook and just typing his comments on here does not do it justice. So I'm going to scan in the page for you all to see! Next post...
