Welcome to Golden Lantern Red Wing Inn

Come visit Red Wing!  See why the National Trust for Historic Preservation has chosen Red Wing as one of America's most desirable vacation destinations.  With all our historic homes and businesses, you'll discover Red Wing has a rich history and exciting things to do. http://www.nationaltrust.org

This is the Golden Lantern Inn bed and breakfast in Red Wing, Minnesota (MN).  This romantic Minnesota Bed and Breakfast was built in 1932 by J.R. Sweasy, president of Red Wing Shoe Company. The design is English Tudor revival and is nearly 7,000 square feet of master craftsmanship and elegant surroundings. And it's less than an hour from the Twin Cities. This makes it the ideal choice for a romantic getaway or weekend encounter.

And an Inn Spaces Magazine has recognized as having one of Minnesota's "Secret Gardens."

Walnut, birch, oak and maple are used throughout the home. The front entry features a walnut staircase. The dining room and library are entirely oak. Marble encases the fireplace and takes the place of wood on the bathroom window sills.  It's a top choice of brides as a unique wedding venue or a romantic honeymoon.

An abundance of common areas is perhaps the biggest difference between the Golden Lantern and other bed and breakfasts. Check out the library and its beautiful Mission-style furniture; lounge in front of the marble fireplace; relax on the beautiful stone porch; or step out back and enjoy three very secluded patios, one with stone fireplace that's roaring every evening (weather permitting of course!).

Located just 3.5 blocks from downtown Red Wing, Minnesota, our bed and breakfast is in the heart of Red Wing's historic district, and an easy walk to shops and dining and many other unique attractions.

Call us and we'll help you find the right restaurant, golf course or skiing opportunity and treat you to a stay you won't soon forget. Choose one of our four suites or our one standard guestroom. The Golden Lantern is an alternative Red Wing lodging option to your typical Minnesota hotel or motel.
