There’s an adjoining sun-room infused with natural light, where you can welcome the morning and relax away the entire day. You might even begin to write that book you’ve been planning. Type of bed: King Spend a night embracing the definition of elegance in a queen-sized antique canopied bed, shadowed by a hand-carved period fireplace. Sip morning tea or evening wine in a lush Victorian sitting area. Allow time for a bubble bath in an original soaking tub and shower. This suite offers every indulgence Maude herself demanded. Type of bed: Queen Martha’s is the first bedroom guests usually see at the top of the grand staircase; they are frequently dazzled by its exquisite décor and think it must be our most upscale room; actually it is our least expensive! It has a full size antique feather bed with canopy. It was Martha Alexander’s bedroom during her childhood and adolescence years while she lived in Winona. Martha, whose preferred name was “Jerry”, matured into a very beautiful women; there are still stories circulating about her rejected suitors! She did not have any children and she was Maude and Durand’s only child. Guests often ask if the large antique framed picture on the room wall is a likeness of Martha; we wish we could say yes but it actually came from a mansion on St. Paul’s historic Summit Avenue and the image is unknown. There is an actual photograph of Martha on top of the dresser. Martha’s room has a very large 1922 soaking tub only. There is no shower. Mary was the well-loved maid of the Alexander family. We’ve updated her room to make it more elegant than a typical maid’s quarters, while preserving the charm and simple elegance of a time long past. This delightful east facing room is a great value priced favorite. Type of bed: Queen The Judge Thomas Wilson Suite – Quite suitable for extended stay Named for Judge Thomas Wilson, in honor of the man who had this mansion built for his family in 1886, The honorable Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Wilson. This sunny vintage cottage-style suite located in the lower level offers a queen size bed, fully equipped kitchen with stove, microwave, blender, refrigerator/freezer, full bath with claw foot tub and shower, living room with comfortable queen sofa sleeper and storage area for skis and other outdoor personal equipment.
