We invite you to join us at The Barteau House Bed and
Breakfast and experience the hidden pleasures of bed and breakfast hospitality! Back to an era when the pace was less hurried, the
conversation more relaxed, and the meals hearty and delicious. This handsome,
Minnesota bed and breakfast estate, built in 1895, for the Sidney B. Barteau family, has been lovingly
restored to its original splendor both inside and out.
Located on over four acres, our secluded grounds include walking paths, a
pergola and gazebo, a fountain and fish pond, and gardens. Access to the
existing bike trail and future
Goodhhue Pioneer Bike Trail is only a half a block away. We are
conveniently
located just off Highway 52. We are nearby the Treasure
Island Casino, Sheldon Theatre, downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding,
canoeing,
golfing, fine dining, and antique shops, all just waiting for you to experience
them!

all its own. All the rooms have queen size beds and their own
