My gf and I on a whim were looking for a weekend/overnight get away. Actually, I had wanted to do…read moresomething special for her for Christmas, but not something material. Then I got Covid. When I got better, I thought more about what I wanted to do and decided on escaping from the cities even for a day. Eventually, choosing the town of Red Wing. It had been a long time since our last va-ca, and giving ourselves ample opportunity to do so throughout the year is important to us. At first, I looked at the hotels in the area, but nothing felt right. Then had the idea of staying at a B & B (Bed and Breakfast.) We began our search and when we saw the Pratt Tabor Inn and read the reviews, went over their website, something in both of us felt good, like the Universe compelled us to try this out. It would be my first time and for my gf it had been years since she went to a b&b with her family.
When we arrived, we met Ron, and right away our conversation felt lively and warm. He helped get us situated and settled and the rest as they say was history...I'm a strong believer in my later years that the Universe places people, events, and experiences in your life that aligned with how you want to live your life. I wanted this get-away to be about relaxing and sharing our love for each other, ourselves, and others! And it definitely was.
Instead of writing an epic story, which I totally could, I'll list off the highlights of our stay.
-Incredible atmosphere
-Ellie, Buddy, and Max!!
-Wonderful hospitality
-Lovely time over Wine, Cheese, Conversations
-Amazing dinner suggestions in town, including what to order!
-Deb and Ron - delightful human beings
-We love sitting down with people to share stories. I loved that both Ron and Deb created the time and space for us to engage with them, as much as we wanted to.

-fireplace (not real wood)
-Popcorn
-relax environment
-breakfast, coffee, dessert oh my!! So good. So much care.
-Bottle of champagne! And flowers (yes it's extra but so worth it!)
-Beds
-Autumn room
I have too many great things to say about Pratt Tabor Inn, but I think the memory I will take with us this first time here was the love, care, and story. Deb's story is powerful! You can tell the love that radiates this B&B and how that love is transported to all the guests who come through the doors. Thanks Ron and Deb, Ellie, Buddy, and Max. Thank you for being you and wanting to take care of your guests, like family. We can't wait to return to learn more about each other.
Big hugs,
Pete and Emily
