Bed and Breakfast Description

Soak in a luxurious whirlpool or classic clawfoot tub. Snuggle with your sweetie under a goose down comforter by the fire. Awake to a stunning view of the sun rising over Lake Superior. Then follow the wafting aromas to your sumptuous breakfast served in a sun-drenched dining room. Welcome to your special day at Duluth, Minnesota's elegant A.G. Thomson House — voted a Top 15 U.S. bed and breakfast inn four years running.

Nestled on over an acre of park-like grounds in Duluth's historic mansion district, the A.G. Thomson House is a graceful 1909 Dutch Colonial designed by a prominent architect of the era. Set on a quiet dead-end street, the bed and breakfast inn is just seven blocks from Lake Superior and Duluth’s scenic Lakewalk, yet less than three miles from downtown and the Canal Park entertainment district.

Every guest room at the A.G. Thomson House includes a private bath with shower. Most feature double whirlpool tubs and Lake Superior views. Fireplaces in every room provide a warm and cozy ambiance on chilly nights, while quiet state-of-the-art air conditioning ensures a restful sleep on warm summer evenings. LCD HDTV/DVD in every room, and a radio/CD player is provided as well, so bring along your favorite music or borrow from our eclectic CD library for the ultimate in relaxation and romance. And while we encourage you to escape the daily grind during your stay, free wireless high-speed Internet access is available if you just can't leave that laptop behind!
