This is a lovely bed and breakfast. Everything -- the fruit and cheese plate and drinks upon arrival, the beautiful decor, all the extras (many games, books, DVDs), chocolates, the fantastic breakfast, the friendly owner -- made for a most enjoyable stay. It was my husband's birthday, and he was even served cake with a candle as part of his... More

Our family has stayed in B&B's all over the country. This is one of the top 10 in terms of service, beauty, quality. Please note the number of reviewers who ranked this excellent. They are right. Pamela, who owns this place, is very friendly. She will great you with a cheese/crackers/nuts/grapes tray, plus a glass of wine (unless you order... More

My wife and I stayed at the Magic Door and found it to be among the very best we have ever experienced. Of course fresh cookies. Even some wine once we came in for the evening. The room was sumptuous. The hostess was most friendly with our being over bearing. I look forward to the next time we need to... More

My husband bid on a stay at our local B&B Magic Door at our son's school fund raiser. He booked the stay for our 27th anniversary. The owner Pamela helped my husband by making sure all the romantic items were included in our room such as chilled champaigne, box of chocolates, and roses! We were warmly greeted with a plate...

I chose the Magic Door because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor, and it exceeded my expectations. The Magic Door is a good name, because while the exterior and surroundings are rather unprepossessing, inside it couldn't be lovelier. The innkeeper is very accommodating and welcoming and the food was great.

My husband and I were in town for a friends wedding. Pamela, the owner, was very accommodating and allowed us to arrive 3 hours before check-in time. She greeted us at the door, showed us to our very comfortable room, and then brought us a plate of cheeses, crackers, grapes, apples, carrots, and hummus. Our mini fridge was stocked with... More

We have visited the Magic Door on a number of occasions, as we frequently travel to Carleton College during the fall soccer season. The rooms are comfortable and well-decorated. The B&B is walking distance to downtown Northfield and Carleton College and just a short drive from the twin cities airport. We have enjoyed meeting the innkeeper, Pam, who is friendly,... More

This is the second tme my daughter and I have stayed here while visiting Carleton. The rooms are clean and pleasant and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is what makes this place a marvelous experience. You are greeted in the afternoon with a cheese,crackers, fruit and nice red wine. The deep bathtub with bubble bath and jacuzzi jets is... More

This was my first bed and breakfast stay in the U.S. My family stayed in quite a few in Europe last summer. I decided to give it a try, especially as the choice of hotels/motels in town was slim, and I really do not enjoy chain hotels unless they are in the three or four star range, but even then,... More
