"While here I’ve been reading a book, “Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven” I believe you two have given Debbie and me a taste of heaven now. The delicious breakfasts, the warm hospitality, the beautiful landscape, the spacious room, the endearing stories, have all conspired to make these 5 days one of our most memorable getaways. God willing, we’ll return before we get to heaven. —Can’t wait." — Fondly, Steve and Debbie
Scandinavian Room
"This was serendipity – you have though of everything! Our favorites: the porch (thank you for ordering a starlit sky!), the ironed bed lines, the carrot cake for breakfast, and the perfectly groomed lawn and garden, with the fountain. This was truly a respite from our busy lives, and a perfect way to celebrate a birthday. Thank you for your care and attention to our every need." — Brenda and Kevin, Waseca, MN

Thanks for everything!" —Doug and Martha, Des Moines/Iowa City, IA

Awesome conversation!" — Devry and Elaine, Wahpeton, ND

The upkeep and overall decoration of this house and the gardens surrounding it are simply wonderful. My wife and I enjoyed very much our time here in Lanesboro, especially our decision to stay at the Habberstad House. Thanks!! For the enjoyable getaway." — Bill and Ellen, Bemidji, MN
