We enjoyed a wonderful, comfortable stay at The Root River Inn. Ryan was a gracious and helpful host. The Pine Room, equipped with a kitchenette and 2 beds (1 fold out futon), took care of our basic needs. The deck was great for the spirit. Did I mention- there is a smokeless fire ring, a hammock, and secure bike storage...and you're on a rolling hill. So basically- the place was clean, comfortable, and downright inspiring views. Custom wood moulding and paint job on the inside as well! We were visiting Lanesboro a a family vacation, with biking as the main activity. Did 21 miles with the kiddo on the tag-a-long. She exclaimed, "This is so fun and beautiful here" at least three times. Usually she just want to do something else.

My husband and I have been coming to Lanesboro for many years and got to be good friends with the previous owners (Jim and Pam) of the Root River Inn (Brewster's Red Hotel), so when I scheduled a girls trip to Lanesboro and was told the new owners would be taking over the day before our arrival and we would be their first guests, I was a little nervous. Well, my nerves were calmed the minute we met Allie and Ryan! They were wonderful hosts during our stay! They have made some wonderful updates to a couple of the rooms and added a few little surprises such as pastries in the morning along with our coffee and an afternoon treat of homemade truffles and iced coffee! Our rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. We enjoyed sitting in the yard in the evenings with a glass of wine and taking in all the wonderful landscaping. It was a very relaxing girls getaway. I highly recommend the Root River Inn! You won't be disappointed!! My husband and I plan to visit again in the fall to do some biking!

We were so thrilled to be the first guests of the new owners at the Root River Inn! Four of us were on a girls' outing and even though all of the family of the new owners were busy working and updating the premise, we felt they worked hard to make our stay special. Our rooms were ready, very clean, and had comfortable beds. We loved that we could sit right outside our rooms and enjoy the beautiful landscaped grounds as we enjoyed our girl talk. Each morning we were treated to coffee and pastries; what a way to start the day! Even though the new owners were busy updating rooms, they still found time to spoil us with an afternoon treat of homemade truffles and iced coffee! We loved the location of this quaint inn; we were able to walk to the local restaurants, shops, and theater, as well as the trail system. For future hotel guests, you're in for a treat, as we were able to see some of the updates that were made in just a few short days! The community of Lanesboro will touch your heart!

Everything at the Red Hotel inside and out was extremely well-kept, immaculate and clean. The trees around our deck provided shade (or sun if we moved the chairs). My husband wished he had more time to sit in the yard, enjoying the atmosphere. The hill and trees provided a quiet oasis in the middle of town. The owners were helpful for information about where and what to do.

Friendly hosts. Beautiful views from the patios. Peaceful. Very clean and well kept. Lots of activities available on the terraced lawn or within a very short walk along the main strip. Ideally located on the bike trail.

The owners Jim and Pam made us feel right at home with a warm welcome and recommendations to make our stay memorable. They are very accommodating. The grounds and gardens are impeccable. They keep high standards for the accommodations. The rooms are quaint and clean and have high quality furniture and sleep surfaces. Morning coffee was a highlight. Their hard work is obvious . Thank you.

This is a wonderful place in the lovely town of Lanesboro MN. The hotel has various cost & comfortable rooms from one bed to suites. It's located in the heart of town very close to the Root River & trail.
