This is a great place to stay. It is quiet, has a well-appointed butler pantry, friendly staff, nicely decorated, and comfortable beds. The Safari Suite has its own private entrance and off-street parking spot. The Masquerade Suite has a balcony on the turret that is also fun. The 3-course breakfast gets you set for the day and you can head... More

second time staying at Scanlon House, a lovely bed and breakfast that is hard to beat. The three course breakfasts are wonderful and hold you until dinner. Staff is very friendly and attentive making sure everything is satisfactory. Will be staying again next year.

This was our first B&B experience. Mary, the owner was there to greet us and made us feel comfortable immediately! Our room (The Masquarade Room)(Sp?) was exactly how it was described and exceptionally clean and well maintained. Loved the coffee/snack area. When we came in for the evening, it was so nice to have a cup of tea and then... More

Scanlon house in Lansboro, MN is a beautifully restored old house. I have to agree with the other reviewers though; just too much stuff. Every table/surface is covered with draping cloth, plastic flowers with a few beautiful antiques mixed in . Our room was very large and comfortable. The bed linens were so wrinkled and loose on the king size... More

My husband and I stayed here for our second anniversary this June. The staff was friendly. We stayed in the Masquerade room, which was lovely and very cozy. We loved sitting out on the private balcony at night, beautiful trees and water running sounds from the fountain. There were a couple of strange things about staying there, including that one...

Attractive Victorian house, and from the looks of things, the nicest in Lanesboro (a great little town where we thoroughly enjoyed our time). But in our experience as regular B&B-ers, it is overpriced. We stayed two nights, and the breakfasts were almost identical. Hospitality was minimal (we barely saw the staff, but some people like that). We booked the largest... More

This is a lovely home, and we were perfectly pleased with our room, the Masquerade. The double whirlpool tub was the biggest we had ever seen. The reviewers that indicate that there is a lot of "stuff" in the house, that is very true. It's a unique home because there is a living room and a sitting room available for... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Historic Scanlan House. Very cozy, very clean, lovely large room - Steeple Suite, a warm welcome by Mary with a nice overview of all the available treats and comforts of the house, a hearty and delicious 3 course breakfast, and many kitties in the garden. We were there celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary for... More

Absolutely gorgeous gardens, not just at Scanlan House, but throughout so much of the town of Lanesboro. The bicycle rentals are so easy with their connection to Little River General Store. Love the location being just a couple blocks up from the main part of town, so it's not on too busy of a street. We love the new guest... More

My wife and I have stayed here at least 3 times and it would be our first choice in Lanesboro if we go back there again. Victorian decorating is over the top and the antiques in this place alone are something to see. The three course breakfast did not permit us to eat lunch. Sure breakfast is at 9 so... More
