The Rand House B&B, Monticello

Hastings
Pam and Dick Thorsen welcome you to their inns, just 20 minutes from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where you can relax, recharge, reconnect and rejuvenate. The Thorsens opened Thorwood Inn in 1983, and have continued to restore both inns to now offer 14 luxurious guestrooms. You'll never want to leave your suite - and you don't have to! Order your three course breakfast (included) or in-house dinner served to the guestroom, or at a dining parlor table for two, to suit your schedule. www.thorwoodinn.com
