Lanesboro is the bed and breakfast capitol of Minnesota, with an enormous number of fun experiences both indoors and out for those who make the journey. Stay overnight in the Cottage House Inn, located close to bike trails, the river, and the downtown shops. While you're in Lanesboro, see a show at Commonweal Theatre, located in the heart of downtown. All rooms at the Cottage House Inn have a private bath and a window.When making the reservation you can ask for a room that looks out on the garden or a room that overlooks main street or a room that has a shared deck and overlooks the downtown, and they will do their best to accommodate. Commonweal Theater is known for their challenging productions, with over 200 performances a year. This season includes Heinrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, comedy Blithe Spirit, and Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, to name just a few.

 The two theater tickets vouchers are valid through the end of 2013, and the Cottage Inn stay extends to December 2014. If they have availability a guest can book a room anytime. However, weekends in the Prime Season fill up fast, so they put the following notice on each gift certificate: The only restriction on this certificate is that it is not valid for a Friday or Saturday evening stay May 15 thru October 15.
