This was a historic, beautiful place to stay. Very cozy, comfortable bed, quiet, private. Easy from start to finish. If you like more private and not dealing with anyone this is such a great stay the rooms are incredibly nice and they have everything you need in them. We will Definitely be staying here again.

What an amazing stay. As a historic mansion it takes you somewhere else once you enter. The rooms are labeled for easy location and amenities plenty. Take off your shoes and enjoy an amazing stay.

Loved loved loved our 2-night stay at The Cotton Mansion. The house is incredible. The attention to detail in each of the common rooms is stunning. We also loved listening to the audio tour that shares details about the Cotton family, the rooms in the house, and the history of the property. I highly recommend taking the time to take the self-guided tour. We stayed in the Aquitania Suite which was on the third floor in the back. The room was cozy, comfortable, and quiet. While it was on the smaller side, the common areas more than made up for it. We enjoyed lounging in the library and the sunroom. We really felt like we were staying in someone's home, not a hotel. The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood but it's a very short drive to Canal Park and other places in Duluth. I would not hesitate to stay here again, as I want to experience one of the other guest rooms!

We stayed in the Roosevelt Suite. The room was awesome. The whole place was amazing. I build houses for a living and really appreciated seeing the quality of work that went into building the mansion.
