One of the worst nights we’ve had was staying aboard a boat that doubles as a hotel of sorts along the Mississippi River in Dubuque Iowa. It seemed like a good idea but the quarters were cramped and strange; the boat was docked beside not only a busy road but a railroad track so it was noisy; and we were the only people aboard. Given that this boat was among the recommendations listed for where to stay along the Mississippi in a 2009 issue of a Minneapolis based mag, I’m not sure how the other recommendations will be. But here they are just in case:
– Golden Lantern Inn, Red Wing, MN
– Tritsch House B&B, Alma, WI (this is a really nice little river town!)
– Alexander Mansion, Winona, Mn.- Wilson Schoolhouse Inn, LaCrosse, WI
– The Hancock House, Dubuque
– Mont Rest, Bellevue, Ia. (long been curious about this place)
– Tatanka Bluffs, Redwood Falls, MN
– Belle Rive, Lanesboro, MN
– Oakenwald Terrace. Chatfield, MN
– Woodland Trails. Hinckley, MN
– Inn at Sacred Clay Farm, Lanesboro, MN
– Solglimit, Duluth, MN
– Blue Heron, Ely, MN
– Loon Song Bed and Breakfast, Park Rapids, MN
– A.G. Tomson House. Duluth, MN
– Covington Inn, St. Paul, MN
