Duluth MN Firelight Innkeeper Jim’s Fishing Tales

August 6, 2011 – 7:47 pm


Most people think that The Firelight Innkeeper never gets a chance to do anything fun and away from work because he is too busy at the Inn greeting guests, cooking, cleaning, marketing, running errands and working on maintenance and renovation. Well, I had an upcoming morning scheduled off from The Firelight Inn on August 4, 2011 and I decided to engage in one of my favorite activities–fishing! It was a beautiful morning as I picked up one of my fishing buddies at 4;30 AM. Soon we were on the road to our secret lake north of Duluth MN (You didn’t really think I was going to tell you the name of our secret spot, did you?)

Take a look at these pictures and you can see just what a fun time we had last Thursday morning. The temperature was nice and cool and the water was calm. The Bass were so hungry that we just couldn’t keep them off the end of our lines. So, next time you are looking to get away, come and stay at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast in Duluth, Minnesota and maybe Jim will share some of his fishing secrets with you! Anyway, you will have a great time staying at our historic Duluth bed and breakfast. Stay tuned for more adventures!

A Firelight Inn Duluth Bed and Breakfast Weekend Babymoon

July 12, 2011 – 2:56 pm

A very special couple made their reservations at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast a couple months ago for their weekend babymoon and will be arriving this Friday. Innkeeper Joy has put together their Babymoon Firelight Babymoon Basket which will be in their suite when they arrive on Friday.

They will find receiving blankets, diapers, a baby bottle, body lotion, a scented candle, chocolates, baby booties and toys and a blue Firelight mini mug in their babymoon basket prepared just for them. After they arrive on Friday night, a Minnesota Wild Rice Soup Supper with warm bread and sparkling cider will be delivered to their suite. A little while later we will deliver a tray with ice cream for Mom-to-be and Dad-to-be to finish off their Friday evening babymoon.

On Saturday, the soon-to-be parents will each enjoy a one hour relaxation massage in our Woodland Suite by Massage Therapist Emily. Imagine the spa suite with the scent of essential oils, the soft soothing music and an hour of massage. After their massages, they are able to slip on their Firelight Inn bathrobes and return to their suite for a bubble bath or a long nap before exploring Duluth and all its beauty.

This weekend they may want to get to Bayfront Festival Park for the Duluth Music and Maritime Festival. Three Tall Ships will be in the harbor and there will be music, activities and educational programs throughout the weekend. For all the information, go to www.visitduluth.com.

Whether or not you are expecting a baby, we have just the special package for your stay at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek Bed and Breakfast.
