The James A. Thompson House is an exquisite 1870 brick Italianate 2 story home.
The home sits beautifully on a hill top overlooking the quaint historic town of Lanesboro, in Minnesota, also known as one of the top B&B river town destinations in the nation. Our 1.3 acres backs right up to the Root River and beckons you to enjoy incredible surrounding views of the river and countryside.
An observation deck at the highest vista of the property offers breathtaking views of the river and Dam, from which Lanesboro was fashioned. Take a walk to the lower side of the property and feel the refreshing spray of the waterfall welcoming you to a slice of heaven right here on Earth.
Inside the Thompson House, you will experience an era gone by. The main floor features original wide plank hardwood floors, grand curved staircase, crown molding, picturesque window views, tall ceilings, and many amenities. Relax in the parlor with period style fireplace or the library, which has a hidden TV and outside access to the side porch.
Enjoy a meal in the formal dining room or go outside to dine in the privacy of a second side porch. The second level of the home shows a cozy sitting area along with 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. We want to customize your stay and create the perfect get-away for you. Sleep in a bit and join us for brunch or enjoy a healthy continental breakfast and hit the trails bright and early. Your choice!
Once you've enjoyed the Thompson House amenities, take a short stroll to down town. This home is in an excellent location to all the attractions Lanesboro has to offer including Root River Bike Trails, Sylvan Park with pond and playground, shopping, Theatre, Art Gallery, restaurants, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and so much more.
The James A. Thompson House became a bit famous a few years ago when in 2023 the movie "Voice of Shadows" was primarily set in the Bed & Breakfast. The film uses this historical Victorian home as the main setting, with additional scenes filmed in the surrounding Lanesboro landscape.
