The
Candlelight Inn in Red Wing, MN, was built in 1877, by Horace Rich, the Manager of the Red Wing
Stoneware Company, as his private residence. As you enter, you'll notice the
exquisite original stained glass windows and exquisite woodwork in the front
hall and staircase — skillfully crafted by European immigrants from local
Butternut trees. Original Quesal light fixtures, gleaming hardwood floors, and
antique period furnishings create a feeling of warmth and harmony throughout
the home. Over the years subsequent owners have lovingly maintained the home.
Then, in 1989, The Candlelight Bed and Breakfast Inn was established. Current
owners Lynette and Zig Gudrais continue the tradition of preserving this lovely
Victorian residence much as it was more than 100 years ago. The authentic
Italianate-style home reflects the gentility and charm of the Victorian era but
has been updated with modern conveniences. Lovely Victorian furnishings and a
feather-painted faux marble fireplace, an original of the times, make the
Parlor room a joy to behold. Transport yourself back to the 19th century and
imagine entertaining callers in this fine room. The Library features
exquisitely crafted cherry cabinetry, an original fireplace and antique leather
furniture. Select from its collection of books and current periodicals and
enjoy the quiet warmth and comfort of this special room. Return to the elegance
of the past with breakfast in the formal dining room. An original chandelier,
fine table linens, silver, china and crystal make breakfast a special occasion.
Enjoy the lovely piano music played by your host as you savor your gourmet
meal. You'll love sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. It's the
perfect place to
enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of lemonade and homemade cookies in the
late afternoon.
