A few weeks ago, we joined a high school friend and his wife on Friday night for Dinner and a Show. My friend loves this place and was staying here for the weekend. It was more like a fancy suite. This place also happens to be a long walking distance to my friend's childhood home in Superior. The food was OK, service was friendly and fast, the white wine was very good, and the band (who played a medley of popular songs) was a lot of fun. It was a great kick off get together in front of our Estherville High School 50th Reunion (Class of 1974) on that Saturday.

The rooms are all themed, I'm fond of the Northwoods Hideaway, and are always neat and clean.

They use the freshest of ingredients and you can even have your breakfast delivered to your room. If you are visiting in Northwest Iowa, be sure you stay at the Hannah Marie at least once! You'll be glad you took my advice.

The innkeepers, Donna and Ann Muilenburg, spared no cost when it came to luxurious linens, outstanding decor, and quality furnishings. The restoration turned a simple farm house into a cozy and comfortable inn. I love it that the sheets are a high-count Egyptian Cotton and as soft as you will find in the most expensive hotels around the world. Oh, so very soft! Annabelle's Suite, located on the first floor, is my favorite room at the inn. It has its own sun room where you can lounge in in PJs and just enjoy the beauty of the sun setting or rising. You can't beat the breakfast, fresh ingredients and delicious. And, the innkeepers are helpful and as nice as they come. I highly recommend this outstanding bed and breakfast lodging establishment.

Breakfast is always delicious, and owners are experienced hospitality folk who go above & beyond to take care of their guests. I stayed in the Free Press Room, and my one friend who was visiting home also took a staycation and occupied the Worlds Fair room next door. Both were very comfortable, tastefully decorated, had an Google Home thingy that we learned to use . Plus, lovely bath products. They have recently added a second house for large group stays, which is a great option for "spillage" during larger family events (Ie, weddings, reunions, family vacations). Thank you for a wonderful stay, and keep up the great work!

We stayed at Moulin Rouge's house on a Monday night in late June. It was a last-minute decision…read moremade while we were still on the road in the evening, looking for a place to stop. Crhis answered the phone and had the good news that he had two rooms for our party of three, with the dog. He only asked that we don't let the dog go on top of, the bed, which we don't anyway at least when I'm around. It turned out that we were the only guests at Moulin Rouge that day. Kris said that typically, it's completely full during the weekend. As a testimony to that, he is still had a tent set up for a wedding party, and he was folding it when we arrived. Then her house is gorgeous and immaculately clean. I wiped up water after my dog, drank from her bowl and spilled a little on the floor. The napkin I used for that came back spotless white. The multiple course warning meal does not happen on weekdays, only on weekends. However, Chris still prepared yogurt parfaits for us and had a bunch of watermelon in the fridge. He also set up multiple baked goods and breakfast bars for us in the kitchen, ready for us to eat next morning. We opted to eat some of them that same evening. He also offered us to take whatever drinks were in the refrigerator, and we were able to store our stuff in the kitchen fridge as well. The windy Terry guys live upstairs to our rooms. Crhis unlocked our two rooms, and the other two or three rooms remain locked. Our rooms were connected, so we used them as a suite. The smaller room had a closet with a small refrigerator, which we didn't use because we had the downstairs kitchen with fridge our exclusive use. There were three bathrobes in the closet, and they used one of them. The bathroom was beautiful, with a shower and a very nice bathtub with bath salts out on the bench hanging across the tub. The water pressure was great in the shower, and the bath was very relaxing. There were bottles of water in each room with nice crystal glasses next to them. The house had a nice deck outside furniture, tables and sofas, and armchairs. There was also a beautiful small yard with yet another table and chairs, and a small vegetable garden. We had our breakfast in the courtyard outside, and our dog enjoyed the grassy area with bunnies hopping across once in a while the evening was hot, and there were fireflies in the air. Chris told us about. The area had flood issues, with landslides that week, so we couldn't get to see the Riverbank because they blocked the access due to dangers of mudslides. Still, we enjoyed a short evening walk with our dog in the neighborhood. Crhis pointed out that there was a house on their block were a famous writer of Betsy used to live on. He even pulled out one of the Betsy books that my 11 year old and I read together. My sophisticated 11 year-old First said she didn't really care for the book, but eventually, we both found it charming and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed listening to Chris story of how he ended up running the bed-and-breakfast. Apparently, he used to run an Eco hotel in Belize, where he met his wife who came as a guest. He followed her to Minnesota, where he went into the hospitality business. I think he works at one of the larger hotels, but a day, and also runs this bed and breakfast. His experience in hospitality business shows in how thoughtful the amenities are set up, and how clean the whole place is. All in all, it was the best hotel experience we have had while driving from Duluth, Minnesota back home to Berkeley, California. We usually don't stay in bed and breakfast, so this experience encouraged us so much that we tried another bit of breakfast, and Keystone, that had a great reviews, but it was far from the Moulin Hey Jeannie asked how we gonna celebrate July 4 and what they can bring Moulin Rouge experience. By the way, the reason why the place is called Moulin Rouge is because the house used to be a beauty parlor that had that name. He kept the name and the sign over the door, and the red tones in the decor go well with the Moulin Rouge theme.

Westbrook is a small town, very quiet and clean. We chose it because it is only 15 minutes from Laura Ingalls Wildr attractions in Walnut Grove. To our delight, discovered Parkview is actually in view of a park. Right across the street is a ball park, pool ($2 per person), wonderful playground, and pretty veterans memorial garden. No dogs allowed in the park, however; dog owners did not do a good job of picking up. In town there is a museum, only open Sunday afternoons. Grocery store and drug store and home store. The price was great. It sounds like weekends can be busy for Parkview, so book early. No web reservations; contact Donna through the Facebook page or by phone. Don't expect luxury, but do expect comfort and a friendly host. Looking forward to the farm breakfast this morning.
