“From the moment we walked in the front door of the Alexander Mansion we felt as though we'd been transported back in time to a gentler and more gracious way of living. The decor throughout the mansion has been lovingly researched and restored to its original glory. The window dressings in each room are in themselves a work of art. The antique Victorian furnishings and accessories are exquisite, and yet the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming throughout the mansion. Breakfast each morning was a gourmet delight. The wine and cheese hour each evening and the bedtime cordial, chocolates and turndown service made us feel very pampered. The service throughout our 3 day stay was impeccable.”

The loving care and painstaking attention to countless details that Lynn and Fred have devoted to restoring and decorating this house, in ways authentic to its era, far exceed that of any other B&B I have experienced. It is truly a labor of love.”

“What a beautiful and comfortable place to stay! Winona offers lovely scenery, historic mills and architecture, as well as welcoming people. We toured the Winona National Bank's second floor enjoying the stained glass and Italian marble, but shocked to see the mounted animal heads and huge elephant ears displayed. The Shakespeare production of "Comedy of Errors" was over the top- most enjoyable! The Alexander Mansion served us an excellent breakfast, and the wine and crackers around four were relaxing and delicious.”

Another real treat was my fortune in being there for the Champagne, Shakespeare and Chocolate event.

I couldn't imagine a better or more delightful weekend!”

“This has been a fantastic and relaxing experience! The house is not only beautiful but also so warm and inviting. Lynn, the perfect hostess, shares great history lessons and has such a welcoming and friendly attitude! I enjoyed watching her decorate the Christmas tree and am in total awe of her decorating ability. she could give Martha Stewart a run for her money.
