Maiden Rock Inn County Rd, Maiden Rock

This place was amazing! Wife and I stayed here for our “babymoon” over Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The work Gary and Jennifer have put into restoring this old schoolhouse is incredible. We typically like to be out and about, but our favorite part about this trip was actually hanging out in the common area each night listening to records and drinking complementary wine while Gary described the history of the building and area. One of the few places we’ll go out of our way to visit again some day!

We stayed for the weekend in The Grotto room. It was gorgeously-designed with a real old-school feel to it (in a classical way as opposed to musty). The accommodations themselves were wonderful (comfortable bed, jacuzzi, sauna, wine), but the hosts were what really set the place apart. Gary and Jennifer both took the time to greet us and show us around, as well as give us tips for the area. Jennifer prepared creative meals for breakfast, which was especially great for my foodie fiancee. The meals were locally-sourced and quite nutritious. Gary was a wonderful host both nights, telling us about the history of the area over complimentary red wine and classic records. If you're looking for a unique, home-y experience, you cannot go wrong with the Maiden Rock Inn. Besides the inn itself, the area has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the state, as well as plenty of cute shopping, dining, and wining experiences. Well worth the time for a long weekend!

The first step inside the door and you're transported back in time. Gary and Jennifer spared nothing in their quest to make this truly an experience to remember. From their busy kitchen, so warm and inviting to the antiques, beautiful woodwork, quaint rooms. Simply amazing! The decorations are so beautiful. The fireplace room., Stunning. Pictures and descriptions don't do it justice. This is a must visit! Organic unusual and home-grown food with her knowledge of cooking was truly an experience very much enjoyed.

My significant other and I went for a summery weekend in July, and were able to enjoy all of the amenities of the house. A beautiful deck to see the sunsets with a glass of complimentary wine, a sauna, wonderful atmosphere, and a breakfast that will make you re-think what should be a typical breakfast all are typical of a stay at the Maiden Rock Inn. Everywhere you turn there is something different to see, as it has been lovingly re-built and decorated by the owners. Breakfast was fresh, organic, and locally-sourced, and Jennifer worked for hours on each breakfast. All of their food and activity recommendations were spot-on, and they were kind enough to let us borrow towels to go use while we swam at a local swimming "hole" (spring-fed river, clean and clear). We want to go back in the winter and enjoy the hand-made floor to ceiling stone fireplace, sauna, and library to their full potential.

This was a great place to get away to. Very warm and inviting on a cold December day. Gary and Jennifer are great hosts and breakfast is amazing. We loved the historic feel and attention to detail in each room. We will definitely visit again. :-)

Maiden Rock Inn is an AMAZING B&B, you won't find anything else like it. I highly recommend checking it out! The hosts Gary and Jennifer are extremely friendly and welcoming. Accommodations are comfortable and luxurious; the entire inn has been masterfully renovated by an artisan craftsman. Lots of cool amenities including entertainment room and rooftop deck. Breakfast was gourmet, organic, made from scratch. I will definitely be back.

We stayed here in Oct 2015 and really enjoyed it. The place is an old school, and the space is big and open. The owners were fabulous to talk to at breakfast. We played some of the large collection of vinyl on their player while sipping wine. We enjoyed a sauna. We had dessert on the rooftop deck. There is a cute little dog there too. Highly recommend a stay here. Fall is gorgeous in MN.

I could not possibly say enough positive things about this hidden gem! The hospitality was over the top. The venue is beautiful, and the owners take pride in their facility, food, and hospitality. Check out the amazing record collection, play with the dog, and chat up the owners and guests. So very relaxing!

I wish I could give 10/5 stars for our stay at the Maiden Rock Inn. The hosts were wonderful - gracious and friendly and made us feel at home. Our room was cheery and the bed very comfortable, but the breakfast was the champion. Jennifer's dishes are the best cooking I've experienced. The food was unconventional for breakfast, but the spicing was divine. We had a dish of stewed heirloom tomatoes that was to die for - the perfect balance of texture and sweetness and savory spice. A red lentil dish was slow-cooked with saffron and turmeric - out of this world. We also had sinful crimini and shitake mushrooms in butter, perfectly roasted squash, poached eggs, and stewed prunes in cream. Frankly, the breakfast was inspiring. I will definitely be returning and recommending the Maiden Rock Inn to friends and family.

Beautiful, large rooms. Gary and Jennifer are wonderful hosts. The fireplace room is nice. There is much to explore and enjoy. Breakfast is always wonderful.
