Recently, my sisters and I wanted to retreat to a place where we could catch up on each others lives. It was time to enjoy each other, relax and have someone take care of us!! The Hillcrest Hideaway B&B was the haven we were looking for and we will have fond memories as we reflect on our time away from our normal lives.
When we arrived, our hostess greeted us at the door with a friendly welcoming smile. We were given a little tour of the B&B, as she showed us where beverages were available, the breakfast location and also what time breakfast would be served. Homemade cookies were available in our room!
Our room was inviting, it provided a lovely sitting room where we laughed and chatted away the evening hours. A sofa sleeper, an inviting queen bedroom, an attractive, very clean (felt new) bathroom was the perfect combination to allow us to feel at home! We also were able to sit out on a deck adjacent to our room, with a lovely view.
Our sweet hosts, Marv and Carol provided a tasty breakfast meal the next morning. At 7am, fresh bread and beverages were set outside our door, then at 9am we made our way downstairs to the breakfast table laden with a fresh fruit dish, muffins and delightful egg/baked apple dish and sausages. What a delicious combination!
If you want a location, that is private, friendly, and comfortable, you should try the Hillcrest B&B!

My wife and I spent a very pleasant summer weekend at the Hillcrest Hide-Away Bed and Breakfast in Lanesboro, Minnesota. Like its name implies, this unpretentious four room inn is located at the top of a hill above Lanesboro’s historic downtown on the Root River.

The Hillcrest, with its comfortable, unobtrusive furnishings, is a welcome alternative to the overly-decorated Victorian inns that are so prevalent through the Midwest. Our room came with its own sitting alcove overlooking a lovely country garden.

Our hosts, Marv and Carol Eggert, established an immediate rapport with us and with the other guests who joined us for a terrific breakfast, garnished with eatable flowers from the Eggert’s garden.

One of the real highlights of our visit was the basket of fresh baked bread that arrived outside our door each morning along with a thermos of coffee.

We are looking forward to a return visit to the Hillcrest Hide-Away.

We stayed at the Hillcrest Hide-Away while attending a wedding in Lanesboro. It was one of the cheaper B&B options in Lanesboro, which isn't that big, and I was intrigued by the mention of "freshly baked bread" every morning.

Overall, I think I ate way too much yummy food while staying at the Hillcrest. The room we stayed in (the Peace Room) was clean and very nicely decorated with lots of personal touches. There were homemade cookies and free drinks (water, soda) available in the common area, and the freshly baked bread arrived at our door in the morning at 7am, as advertised. The breakfast was excellent, and Marv and Carol were super friendly and hospitable. We even bought a recipe book ($5) because the raspberry coffee cake was so good.
