“Relaxing Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We decided to do a little mid-week getaway and were pleased to be the only ones staying at the inn on this particular night. We choose, what we think turned out to be the best room in the inn, after looking at several others after arrival. It is a bit difficult to tell from the on-line pictures, but room #3 is a winner. Unfortunately, we were unable to dine in the main dining room, as there was a seminar booked there. Before dinner, we stopped in the newly remodeled Current bar and Wes, the bartender, made a special choclatini for my wife. She was thouroughly impressed! Our meal was quite good - Michael made a terrific steak Diane tableside. The breakfast in the morning was adaquete, but the room was chilly, as no one had bothered to turn on the heat. All-in-all we had a very nice stay and will return someday...

Room Tip: Room #3 is on the end, shares a private deck with a view of the Marina; quite and a 2 sided fireplac...

“look somewhere else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

The rooms themselves were huge and looked nice but.... We stayed 1 night in Jan., the rooms were very cold, the fireplace was warm if you were within 10 feet of it. Both aerators of the bathroom sinks were in need of cleaning, you got a shower just trying to get a glass of water. You could have filled either sink by using the faucet of the other! The carpeting was soaked because the fridge had been turned off- I spent about a half hour cleaning the mess from the "defrosting"(it was to late to call anyone and I was to tired to be bothered). The breakfast was not impressive at all and the breakfast room was freezing, worse than the bed rooms. The master bedroom was not soundproofed, lots of noise from the next room- not the tenants fault, so bad we had to sleep in the other room. Overpriced and over rated! Staff offered no apologies, not even a blank, insincere attempt at an apology.

“Great getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Afton House Inn is a great spot to slow down and take a relaxing break from a busy life. A meal in the fine dining restaurant is a great way to spend an evening. The rooms are unique and offer a great slice of old time charm with enough modern amenities to make you feel comfortable. Only complaint was a bad shower. We will be back for sure!

Room Tip: We enjoyed our stay in room 4.

“Enchanting bed and breakfast just a short drive from Minneapolis”

Charming bed and breakfast right on the river. The staff was friendly and professional. The dinner at both the restaurants was amazing and the best surprise was the fantastic wine bar on property. The wine selections were fabulous!!!
This is an amazing get away for a romantic weekend.
We especially enjoy summer weekends in Afton....so much to do in this quaint little town.

Room Tip: Ask for the rooms with a fireplace and jacuzzi!!!

My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday here. It was one of my best yet to date! We tasted wine at Swirl, had dinner at Current and stayed at The Afton Inn. The service, food and staff were better than we expected! We will be back!
