Out of all the houses in Minnesota, this one is my favorite. Formerly the Hunt House, this…read morerenovated B&B is filled with charm, light, and thoughtful touches. I found this spot randomly when I came to Mankato for my birthday, and couldn't be happier. Breakfast is always delicious, and owners are experienced hospitality folk who go above & beyond to take care of their guests. I stayed in the Free Press Room, and my one friend who was visiting home also took a staycation and occupied the Worlds Fair room next door. Both were very comfortable, tastefully decorated, had an Google Home thingy that we learned to use . Plus, lovely bath products. They have recently added a second house for large group stays, which is a great option for "spillage" during larger family events (Ie, weddings, reunions, family vacations). Thank you for a wonderful stay, and keep up the great work!

We stayed at Moulin Rouge's house on a Monday night in late June. It was a last-minute decision…read moremade while we were still on the road in the evening, looking for a place to stop. Crhis answered the phone and had the good news that he had two rooms for our party of three, with the dog. He only asked that we don't let the dog go on top of, the bed, which we don't anyway at least when I'm around. It turned out that we were the only guests at Moulin Rouge that day. Kris said that typically, it's completely full during the weekend. As a testimony to that, he is still had a tent set up for a wedding party, and he was folding it when we arrived. Then her house is gorgeous and immaculately clean. I wiped up water after my dog, drank from her bowl and spilled a little on the floor. The napkin I used for that came back spotless white. The multiple course warning meal does not happen on weekdays, only on weekends. However, Chris still prepared yogurt parfaits for us and had a bunch of watermelon in the fridge. He also set up multiple baked goods and breakfast bars for us in the kitchen, ready for us to eat next morning. We opted to eat some of them that same evening. He also offered us to take whatever drinks were in the refrigerator, and we were able to store our stuff in the kitchen fridge as well. The windy Terry guys live upstairs to our rooms. Crhis unlocked our two rooms, and the other two or three rooms remain locked. Our rooms were connected, so we used them as a suite. The smaller room had a closet with a small refrigerator, which we didn't use because we had the downstairs kitchen with fridge our exclusive use. There were three bathrobes in the closet, and they used one of them. The bathroom was beautiful, with a shower and a very nice bathtub with bath salts out on the bench hanging across the tub. The water pressure was great in the shower, and the bath was very relaxing. There were bottles of water in each room with nice crystal glasses next to them. The house had a nice deck outside furniture, tables and sofas, and armchairs. There was also a beautiful small yard with yet another table and chairs, and a small vegetable garden. We had our breakfast in the courtyard outside, and our dog enjoyed the grassy area with bunnies hopping across once in a while the evening was hot, and there were fireflies in the air. Chris told us about. The area had flood issues, with landslides that week, so we couldn't get to see the Riverbank because they blocked the access due to dangers of mudslides. Still, we enjoyed a short evening walk with our dog in the neighborhood. Crhis pointed out that there was a house on their block were a famous writer of Betsy used to live on. He even pulled out one of the Betsy books that my 11 year old and I read together. My sophisticated 11 year-old First said she didn't really care for the book, but eventually, we both found it charming and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed listening to Chris story of how he ended up running the bed-and-breakfast. Apparently, he used to run an Eco hotel in Belize, where he met his wife who came as a guest. He followed her to Minnesota, where he went into the hospitality business. I think he works at one of the larger hotels, but a day, and also runs this bed and breakfast. His experience in hospitality business shows in how thoughtful the amenities are set up, and how clean the whole place is. All in all, it was the best hotel experience we have had while driving from Duluth, Minnesota back home to Berkeley, California. We usually don't stay in bed and breakfast, so this experience encouraged us so much that we tried another bit of breakfast, and Keystone, that had a great reviews, but it was far from the Moulin Hey Jeannie asked how we gonna celebrate July 4 and what they can bring Moulin Rouge experience. By the way, the reason why the place is called Moulin Rouge is because the house used to be a beauty parlor that had that name. He kept the name and the sign over the door, and the red tones in the decor go well with the Moulin Rouge theme.

This '1' rating is specific to their pies only. For…read moreThanksgiving I ordered 2 pies: a pumpkin & a pecan. 1. They were not 'fresh made', as had been implied when I placed my order early Nov. In fact: their 'sell-by' date happened to be the day after we served them for our Sunday family get-together dinner (even though I had picked up our custom-order just the day prior on Sat.) 2. Pecan pie was so liquidy/runny, and the pecans were both stale and semi-burnt, that we were only able to salvage 3 'scoops' of pie when serving it. Cost for this pie was approx. $27. It went in the garbage. 3. Pumpkin pie: flavorless with a doughy bottom crust that was clearly not fully cooked. Our guests tried it but not one person could enjoy it and they all skipped the bottom crust. This pie also went in the garbage. Cost was approx. $20. We have had cupcakes, bread, & soups from Wooden Spoon this year & all were good. Their service is always pleasant. Sadly though I must post this so that others can avoid paying top $$ for in-edible pies over xmas (or anytime.)

Even on nights where my team doesn't score well we still enjoy ourselves. Both of these guys are clever, fun, and put together a great show every week. Savants of Question has recently expanded to a weekly Wednesday night trivia at Ummie's in Mankato. They also organize 'Feasts of Fun' every few months which combine food, drinks, comedy, music, and entertainment; we attended their Christmas Feast of Fun and enjoyed music from the Bass Brand Brass Band, comedy from both Tom and Ben, mixed up tales by Zilch the Torysteller, and professional pole dancers. It was a memorable night. Savants of Question are available for private gigs and we are very much looking forward to them emceeing, entertaining, and running trivia at our friends' wedding reception later this year. Ben and Tom are genuinely nice guys, you should definitely contact them if you need to bring some fun to your event.

I would highly recommend Harvey and Carpenter offices. I worked with Chris on a Workman's Comp…read moreclaim and trusted him immediately. I had never dealt with a lawyer and I was a little nervous and hesitant to even make the call, but I'm so happy I did. I had an injury at work in 2018 on my left shoulder, then another injury at work to my right shoulder in July of 2019 (rotator cuff tears). I then had surgery on the admitting shoulder (1st injury) and was told I had to come back to work 1 1/2 weeks after surgery. After being back to work 1 1/2 weeks, I was informed by my place of employment they were not willing to work with my restrictions. I knew this was wrong so I googled Workman Comp lawyers and found Harvey and Carpenter. I then read the reviews from other clients and I knew I had to reach out to them. Chris was so easy to talk to and each meeting we had whether it be the phone, email or in person, he was kind, professional, considerate and always asked how I was doing. Chris has so much experience and knowledge and I always trusted his opinion with what I should do next. Chris also took over speaking with the Workman's Comp department that I had to deal with regarding my injury so I never had to talk with them again. After my case was settled, Chris still reminded me that he would be there for me going forward if there is anything I need. I could not be more pleased with my experience with Harvey and Carpenter. Don't hesitate, make the call, Chris and his team are amazing!!
