3 Great Weekend Getaways in Driving Distance of Rochester, MN
1. Carriage House Bed & Breakfast
This historic building dates back to 1870 when it was first built. The three-story house now has five bedrooms, each individually decorated with a different theme. Each room comes with a private bathroom, and some rooms even have a built-in fireplace and a jacuzzi. You’ll enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast from the friendly and attentive hosts, as well as coffee any time of day. Relax on the porch or take a bike ride. Your hosts will provide bicycles for free.
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine. The house is within walking distance of the Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, and more. Find them at 420 Main St. in Winona. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, and do not drink and drive.
2. Alexander Mansion Historic B&B
Another historic house, built in 1886, Alexander Mansion makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time. They offer period rooms and suites, and flat-screen televisions are available upon request. We love their impressive four-course breakfast, which is served by candlelight. Grab a book from the mini library and sip on a cup of tea in the tea room. Or take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful garden, sit on the veranda, or enjoy a 12-minute walk to Lake Winona.
Alexander Mansion makes the perfect spot for a romantic anniversary as well. The house is located at 274 E. Broadway St. in Winona.

When you simply feel like staying in, make this upscale hotel your stop. Book yourself a suite, and ask for one that comes with a kitchen and a fireplace. You’ll love the marble, elegant bathrooms, plush towels and high-quality bedsheets. Enjoy the complimentary breakfast buffet before heading to the rooftop for a dip in the pool. Then detox in the sauna or get your workout in at the fitness center.
