Just returned from a Carleton college visit where I stayed in the Summer room at The Magic Door. Upon my April afternoon arrival in the surprise snowstorm, Pamela, the proprietor offered us a cheese tray. We instead chose to explore our room. She demonstrated how to use the fireplace, jacuzzi, cable TV, and more. She also invited us to enjoy... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Magic Door after attending the St. Olaf Christmas Concert, and we picked the perfect place to unwind, relax, and enjoy a December mother-daughter getaway. Pam welcomed us inside and brought us glasses of wine and a scrumptious cheese and fruit platter as we visited. The room was extremely comfortable and quiet--slept like a... More

We stayed at Magic Door for 4 nights and really loved the place. We were made to feel at home by Pamella and we are in regular touch with her even after we left that place. The breakfast is out of the world. The room was excellent and clean. Pamella is an excellent host and the moment we met her,... More

For someone who was looking for a peaceful evening away, I found it! Pamela greeted me with cheese, crackers and a cold beer. I spent the rainy afternoon relaxing in my comfortable room watching a movie and eating from the bowl of chocolates conveniently placed near by bedside. When the weather cleared, I walked around town, bought some groceries, and... More

This is a lovely bed and breakfast. Everything -- the fruit and cheese plate and drinks upon arrival, the beautiful decor, all the extras (many games, books, DVDs), chocolates, the fantastic breakfast, the friendly owner -- made for a most enjoyable stay. It was my husband's birthday, and he was even served cake with a candle as part of his... More

My wife and I stayed at the Magic Door and found it to be among the very best we have ever experienced. Of course fresh cookies. Even some wine once we came in for the evening. The room was sumptuous. The hostess was most friendly with our being over bearing. I look forward to the next time we need to... More

My husband bid on a stay at our local B&B Magic Door at our son's school fund raiser. He booked the stay for our 27th anniversary. The owner Pamela helped my husband by making sure all the romantic items were included in our room such as chilled champaigne, box of chocolates, and roses! We were warmly greeted with a plate...

I chose the Magic Door because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor, and it exceeded my expectations. The Magic Door is a good name, because while the exterior and surroundings are rather unprepossessing, inside it couldn't be lovelier. The innkeeper is very accommodating and welcoming and the food was great.

My husband and I were in town for a friends wedding. Pamela, the owner, was very accommodating and allowed us to arrive 3 hours before check-in time. She greeted us at the door, showed us to our very comfortable room, and then brought us a plate of cheeses, crackers, grapes, apples, carrots, and hummus. Our mini fridge was stocked with... More
