The Candlelight Inn is a Red Wing Minnesota Bed & Breakfast just an hour away from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul in historic Red Wing, Minnesota.  Your comfort is our top priority as we make your stay pleasant and unforgettable.  Sit in the library and watch the moondance over the new fallen snow.  Step back in time and see the golden lantern light of the Quezal shades from the early 1900's.

Food is our specialty at the inn.  An elegant Victorian breakfast is prepared by Innkeeper and food columnist, Lynette Gudrais featuring three course breakfasts and now your selection of entrees at check-in.  As always, we serve delicious appetizers, desserts and freshly made breads, rolls and pastries every day.

For those seeking a romantic getaway or just a change of scene, the Candlelight Inn is the perfect place to stay.  Just 55 minutes (less than half a tank of liquid gold) from the Twin Cities, we invite you to sample the seasons with us.  If you’ve visited before, come and check out our new look and tastes.

 

The Candlelight Inn was built in 1877 by Horace Rich, manager of Red Wing Stoneware Company. Over the years, the home was lovingly maintained as a private residence, and in 1989 The Candlelight Bed and Breakfast Inn was established. Current owners Lynette and Zig Gudrais continue the tradition of preserving this lovely Victorian residence much as it was 130 years ago.

Original features you will immediately notice include exquisite stained-glass windows and intricately carved woodwork in the front hall, library and staircase - skillfully crafted by European immigrants from local trees. Quesal light fixtures, gleaming hardwood floors and antique period furnishings create a feeling of warmth and harmony throughout the home. The modified Italianate-style home reflects the gentility and charm of the Victorian era, updated with modern conveniences.
