“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2007

Penny is a most gracious hostess, and her poochie pal B.J. is a darling. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with wine and treats on the screen porch, just the norm for Sat. nights at the Octagon House! We laughed and talked with the other guests for a couple hours, and then had a lovely, private stay until breakfast the next morning, when we rejoined the group for a delicious meal. Penny shared much about the local history, and the importance of the house and family who once lived there. Our room was comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay. Great location to walk around downtown, too.

“Charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2007

This was the second time that we have stayed at the Octagon House in Red Wing, and for sure not the last. The atmosphere is very charming and elegant. Delicate fabric covers the walls of this Victorian style B&B. A beautiful view of Red Wing, MN from the rooftop, which you will not find anywhere else nor forget. The breakfast served is so delicious you will not want to leave. Everything about this place is worth exploring. We cannot wait to go back!

“New Years Eve at Lawther-Octagon House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2007

person found this review helpful

We love this property and we love Penny. We always spend some time catching up and telling stories in her comfortable 'lounge' room, drinking wine and eating a few of her great snacks. Penny has the ABSOLUTELY best breakfasts. One of the friends we came there with has a nut allergy and Penny went out of her way to make sure they food was served special for our friend so she would not have any reactions.

Staying at Lawther is like staying with the 'Cool Mom'!!!

“Fantastic experience at the Octagon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2007

We had the most lovely time at the Octagon House in Red Wing. Penny, the proprietor, was a delight! The décor is lovely, the hors d'oeuvres were delectable, the rooms were lavish and Penny's breakfasts were outstanding. We will definitely return to this charming home-away-from-home.

“Wonderful Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2006

We had a very relaxing time at this very beautiful B&B. This getaway was just what we needed after the busy holidays. This B&B was not only beautiful but so well maintained. The breakfast was wonderful and the portions were very large. The presentation of the food was excellent. The B&B keeper was very friendly and shared many stories about the Lawther family. We loved the history of the home and also enjoyed viewing some of the other rooms in the house. We realized a one night stay is not enough and will plan our next experience for a least two nights. We are anxious to share this great find with our family and friends and look forward to future visits. Thnaks Penny!
