New Adventures During Your Firelight Inn Stay in Duluth MN

September 5, 2012 – 3:47 am

The Innkeepers had some time this afternoon to visit a couple new businesses in Duluth, Minnesota that we think our guests will enjoy during their stay at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast. We drove to the Fitger’s Brewery Complex and visited the new Duluth Kitchen Store. What a treat and it’s just what Duluth needed! Everything you can use in your kitchen along with cookbooks, aprons, linens, knives and more. Just across the hall is the Kitchen Store’s Marketplace Shop with yummy chocolates, dips, mustards, vinegars and sauces. They have lots of samples to taste and the gals working there were so very helpful. We picked up a special butterscotch rum sauce to give as a gift to a special son!

After shopping through the other delightful shops in the complex and picking up a couple more copper birds for the Firelight front porch, we drove to our new favorite ice cream shop. The Chocolate Shop Ice Cream shop is at 17th and London Road–just minutes from the Inn.

This award winning ice cream is made in Wisconsin by a family owned company. There are so many flavors of ice cream that it’s really difficult to choose. They also offer an extra “cow tail” on top of any flavor that you would like to try. What a treat in a dish or cookie dish or chocolate covered waffle cone or sugar cone–oh, the choices are many. They will be open for the season through Halloween so plan your ice cream fix soon!

The fall leaf season will soon be arriving and September and October is a beautiful time to enjoy Duluth in all its fall beauty. We have luxurious suites available for your honeymoon, birthday, anniversary, romantic getaway or a relaxing getaway. Go to our new website and make your reservations today. We look forward to meeting you!

With a little free time Innkeepers travel up the north shore of Lake Superior

July 9, 2010 – 3:00 pm

Innkeepers of The Firelight Inn took some free time to travel up the shore of Lake Superior this week to enjoy one another and get some rest and relaxation. We headed up the scenic highway along the lake enjoying the sights along the way. We found a secluded spot and enjoyed some quiet time as the reflection of the setting sun on Lake Superior soothed our souls.

We sat on a rock and watched as the sky darkened, skipped a few rocks, and just listened to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks and shore. Dinner was enjoyed at one of our favorite restaurants–Northern Lights in Beaver Bay. We sat outside and savored each bite and each moment. After a good nights sleep we again enjoyed the view of Lake Superior and its cool morning breeze. We return to The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Duluth Bed and Breakfast refreshed, renewed and ready to greet guests at our front door.

This weekend we are happy to greet returning guests staying for their 7th and 11th stays, guests attending a high school reunion and more celebrating a birthday. We will be attending Jim’s daughter’s wedding in Grand Forks, ND on Saturday but the Inn will be in good hands while we are away.

Enjoy Winter Sports Near Lake Superior and The Firelight Inn Bed and Breakfast

December 8, 2009 – 12:30 am

The snow and cold is finally on its way to The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek and Lake Superior and Duluth, Minnesota. There is a storm watch through Thursday morning for the Duluth area. So if you enjoy winter sports we have a few suggestions on planning your winter adventure.

Vertical Endeavors leads introductory ice climbing trips to the frozen waterfalls and ice cliffs on the North Shore. Some towers of ice are up to 175 feet tall. Ice axes, ropes and crampons are the tools used in ice climbing.

Hang 10 on Gitchigumi! Great Lakes surfers ride almost every month of the year on Lake Superior. They use thick wet suits, gloves, hoods, and booties to protect against the bitter cold. The Superior Surf Club can assist you in the winter surfing on Lake Superior.

The University of Minnesota Duluth’s Outdoors Program leads river skiing trips January through March. Participants rope together to skirt open water and navigate upstream on a labyrinthine course of frozen river gorges along the North Shore. Pick from more than 50 whitewater streams that cut a path through the Sawtooth Mountains and rush to Lake Superior.

There is always the Polar Bear Plunge in Lake Superior in early January to raise money for the Special Olympics Minnesota. Dress in your favorite costume and take the plunge!

Spirit Mountain offers over 700 vertical feet of downhill skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing while overlooking Lake Superior.

Within the city of Duluth, there are several cross-country ski trails that are available from beginning to expert levels of cross-country skiing. The Snowflake Nordic Ski Center is consistently groomed and offers night skiing with lighting. They are located at 4348 Rice Lake Road in Duluth just minutes from The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast.

It’s just a short drive from The Firelight Inn to the parking lot on the Martin Road to access the North Shore Trail for snowmobiling. Great winding trails through the north woods and fun places for burgers, fries and hot chocolate make for a wonderful day of riding.

After you have had your winter outdoor adventure enjoy all the luxurious amenities at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast. A warm bubble bath will be sure to relax you and our full breakfast delivered to the privacy of your suite will be sure to restore you!
