The Firelight Inn Duluth Bed and Breakfast shares an inspiring story from CTN Studios

CTN Studios

Lynne Door was a guest at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Duluth Bed and Breakfast and we want to share her story. Injured in an automobile accident involving a deer, Lynne is paralyzed from her chest down.

Lynne contacted us to request pictures of the Inn for her recovery board which serves as her inspiration to walk once again. We are truly blessed to have her as a guest of ours and we continue to pray for her recovery. We would be honored to have her walk through our front door once again.

Please take time to click on the link and learn more about Lynne.

Military Soldier Reviews The Firelight Inn Duluth MN Bed and Breakfast

Our past weekend guests included a special couple who stayed in our Northwoods Suite for their "Valentine" getaway. Joe made his reservation while he was deployed in Irag as a military soldier because he wanted to take Logan for a special getaway for Valentine's Day.

They enjoyed skiing at Spirit Mountain on Saturday and had dinner at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Radisson hotel in Duluth. They enjoyed the homemade cookies from the jar in the butler's pantry.

But it was the review that he wrote in the Northwoods journal that brought us to our knees.

"Jim and Joy

Thanks for everything. The Firelight Inn gave me a very peaceful and relaxing feeling that I haven't felt in a long time. Places like this and people like you two make fighting for this country worth it. You've added a special touch to Logan's and my Valentine's weekend. We had an amazing time and hope to come back another day.

Thanks for everything.

Innkeepers of Duluth Firelight Inn Bed and Breakfast Enjoy a Snowmobile Ride on the North Shore Trail

What an awesome day to ride 140 miles on the North Shore Snowmobile Trail today! Jim and I left the The Firelight Inn Duluth bed and breakfast about 1:00 p.m. this afternoon and drove to the parking lot outside of Two Harbors to access the North Shore Trail. The amount of snow up north is incredible and the trail was nicely groomed and we rode smooth and fast!

There were quite a few sleds out on the trails today and a lot of groups of snowmobilers enjoying the winter wonderland. The amount of snow in the forest is overwhelming and as we rode the trail, the huge pine trees appeared to be match sticks with clumps of marshmallows and marshmallow cream poured over them. As we winded along the trail, the snow in places was as high as the seat on my sled and the trees are so heavy laden with snow everywhere. We drove up to the Trestle Inn for a delicious burger and hot chocolate and gas (for 4 bucks a gallon!!!).

The trail from the Trestle Inn to The Knotted Pine was a bit like a washboard and hopefully it will get groomed for the many sledders that will be out over the long romantic weekend. After a fill of gas, we headed down the Yukon Trail 55 miles back to the Two Harbors parking lot. It was again a fast ride watching the sun go down and the stars appear in the sky! As I rode behind Jim's sled I could see the snow shine like little bits of diamonds in my headlights. It was so beautiful and I felt so thankful we had the day off together!

Now back to work for us at our Duluth MN bed and breakfast. Our historic inn is full of guests arriving for romantic Valentine's Day getaways and long weekend getaways for President's Day on Monday. Next week we hope to ride the Willard Munger Trail by Spirit Mountain down to Hinckley and back. We'll let you know how that goes and we hope to see you at our Minnesota historic inn on your next trip to Duluth, Minnesota.
