Experience the opulence and grandeur of a by-gone era during your stay at the Gilbert Mansion, once home to one of the most prominent families in Northern MN. You'll start each day in our beautiful Dining Room with an elegant multi-course breakfast served on antique china. Weekend guests also enjoy our Wine and Cheese social hour on Friday and Saturday evenings. Our lovely atmosphere is ideal for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. Lovingly restored 1904 home, completely furnished in period antiques with many belongings of the original owners. Four unique rooms available for rent. Three rooms have Queen beds, and one room has Twin beds. Bob & Wayne's room is quite different from the rest of the home, an unexpected surprise with a rustic Northwoods feel and original murals depicting Native Americans on the walls. The ceiling detail is phenomenal! It is an optical illusion you won't want to miss! Two twin beds can be converted to a King size bed upon request. Guests will have access to their own bedroom, two shared baths, living room, formal dining room, parlor, large covered front porch and yard/gardens. Guided tours of home available upon request. One hour tour includes 17 rooms of the mansion with complete history of the Gilbert family and early Grand Rapids.....Very interesting! Off-street parking and Free Wi-Fi available. We can interact as much or as little as you want. Both Inn-Keepers, (Tim & Christie), grew up in Grand Rapids and are intimately familiar with the area and all it has to offer. We are always present when guests are in our home. Tim is also a terrific fishing guide. He knows the local lakes extremely well. Ask about guided fishing trips.
