Thayer's Today.....

Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast was voted "Property of the Year"  by the Minnesota Association of Innkeepers .... for Thayer's outstanding contribution to Minnesota's Lodging Industry!   Arrington's Bed & Breakfast Journal has Thayer's listed in the nation's top 3 Bed & Breakfasts, offering Murder Mystery Dinners, 2 years in a row!

New and ever changing, that's what Thayer's is to me. We have new Workshops and retreats available for learning and fun, plus many different classes and SPA services as well as a stress management retreat for private groups and individuals. 

Yes, Interactive Murder Mystery Dinners and the Jazzy, Jazz and Blues show are on the schedule for 2005 along with the new stuff.        

Check out the calendar of events for a complete listing of the tried and true as well as the new.  

I'll be teaching more psychic development classes, seminars, and retreats plus I will be joined by some great motivational speakers and talented instructors beginning this October.

Did you know that children can be invited to our new Holiday, Horses, Crafts and Cooking classes, as well as some slumber parties and Afternoon Teas? Yes it's true!

 I decided that in order to accommodate our new holistic directions and programs, that I needed to make some major changes, so, I dropped our liquor license and put in a coffee, tea and dessert bar that specializes in healthy, non-alcoholic, hard to find fun foods and beverages. OK, Ok , now don't panic! I still believe in comfort foods and sugar and chocolate!! That will not change, I can guarantee it!!  I just thought it was important to offer a different atmosphere that could comfortably include little people and I figure we can all enjoy the options in that direction too.

Wedding dates are filling in more and more and our "We want Simple" wedding package is a big hit. It's a wonderful way to have an inexpensive, personal and private ceremony.   

Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal has been nice enough to do an article on Thayers in their Holiday edition this year. Can't wait to see it!  Miss Sadie and TN are very photogenic and wonderful cats; I understand that the magazine has some nice photos of them.

PS: We have been re-reopen since November 2002 and life here is becoming sane once more!  For those of you that don't know, Thayer's experienced two HUGE business life changing events with in a year of each other. Each time, water was the changer and all of us living at Thayer's were the changees. First time, in February 2001 a pipe broke on the third floor and flooded us; with-in moments ceilings were falling on the main floor and the basement was knee deep in water- we were closed for a year to re-build. About 2 weeks before the official re-opening, a sprinkler head located again on the third floor, went off and in less time than it is taking me to tell you about it, we were hip deep in water from the third floor to the basement one, more, time! Took almost another year closed and about, well, too many dollars to re-build Thayer's... and so, that's how we re-re-opened in November of 2002 and that's how we got to where we are today and are now doing what we do do.    

The yard is look'n good! Below is a photo of one of our fountains.
