Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast Inn, Two Harbors

If you’re ever had dreams of living out your days in a lighthouse, you’re in luck. The Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast Inn lets you stay at the Two Harbors Light Station, which is Minnesota’s oldest operating lighthouse. During the day, you can also explore Lake Superior and use your guest pass to tour museums.

Northern Rail Traincar Inn, Two Harbors

Stay at the Northern Rail Traincar Inn to get the extraordinary experience of living in a boxcar. There are 3 full car suites and 13 guest rooms available in authentic train boxcars. Located near beautiful Minnesota wilderness, this inn can provide a much-needed getaway.

Jail House Inn, Preston

It’s not often that most people see the inside of the jail. At Jail House Inn, you get to spend the night in a former jail without actually committing any crime. The bed-and-breakfast was originally the Fillmore County Jail, which was authorized in 1868. Now, it’s been reconstructed to house cozy guest rooms and give you the opportunity to tell friends about your night in jail.

The Covington Inn Bed & Breakfast, Saint Paul

Spending the night on water seems so much more exciting than sleeping on land. At the Covington Inn Bed & Breakfast, you can stay in a houseboat with all the same amenities as a standard hotel. However, you also get gorgeous views of the Mississippi River from your own private balcony.
