"July 25th - July 27th Jim and Joy ~ Once again, we had a wonderful time here! We can't say enough how much we love this place. It is fabulous. So relaxing and peaceful. We loved the Isle Royale Suite! And now we can say we have stayed in every room. The breakfasts were so delicious, you are fabulous cooks and hosts. Our favorite part of this stay was our quiet picnic, sitting on the rocks along the north shore. The picnic lunch you packed us was great and it tasted very yummy (especially the potato salad). It was the perfect romantic picnic. We always look forward to coming here. We can't say enough wonderuf things about this place. And we can't thank you enough for making each and every one of our stays absolutely perfect. We will be back again (for our 9th stay!). Take care, C&C, Elk River, MN"
"7-20-10 Jim and Joy - We are thankful to spend our anniversary in such a wonderful home. Thank you for your hospitality, delicious food and services. Duluth has quickly become a favorite spot to vacation. God blessed you with with a warm generous heart and we are blessed to have shared your home for a few nights. Many Thanks, D&D, Pittsburg, Texas"
"7-19-21-2010 Jim and Joy, Thanks for sharing your love and passion and being owners of the best B&B! What a wonderful place to spend two days celebrating our 20 years of marriage! Your hospitality was awesome, breakfast superb, and sight-seeing in Duluth was grand! We will share the 'Best Secret' with others from Fargo. Take care, T&D, Fargo, North Dakota
"6.13-6.16.10 My husband surprised me with a trip to Duluth to celebrate our one year anniversary! We were married 6.13.09 in northeast Minneapolis. This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast and we definitely enjoyed our time here! The Northwoods suite was quaint and cozy. It's obvious that the owners have put their heart into providing an excellent experience for their guests. The house is absolutely beautiful, although we spent most of our time in our suite. Our goal was to relax and enjoy our time away together. Mission accomplished! J&C "
"6/13/2010 Joy and Jim, We can't begin to tell you how wonderful these last couple of days have been! This experience for us was a million times better than our original Honeymoon 10 years ago! The massages were heavenly and our favorite part was the delicious breakfasts! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Your hospitality was extraordinary. We will do everything we can to get back here! J&S, Fargo, ND"
"6/13/10 Thank you for making our 1st wedding anniversary so special. It was perfect! There isn't anything I would change about the Firelight, I don't think it could get better. We'll definitely be back! N&T"
"2/28/10 Upon driving up to the magnificent old house you will notice Jim waiting for you to offer a kind word and help you carry your luggage. Jim then gave us a tour of the house and brought up some interesting factoids about Duluth, as well as some historical testimony from others that I found interesting. I will come back with my wife, we were relaxed with all the little pleasantries and amenities Jim and Joy have to offer here at the Firelight. I would recommend that on the first night one should hop in the hot tub and sit in it for about an hour with their spouse and de-frag. It will set up the rest of your stay. Jim and Joy are sweet, non-pushy hosts, and are genuinely interested in conversation. I will be recommending this to everyone who wants some getaway time. Thanks Jim and Joy J&C P.S. The french toast and fresh fruit will lower your inhibitions :)"
9/21 & 22/09 Dear Jim & Joy, You are both such hard working and wonderfully gracious people who go about your day making others happy and comfortable in your home. Thank you for allowing us to share this home for a few more days. It is a beautiful, relaxing and impeccable retreat for so many tired people. You work wonders restoring others and make it look so effortless. The environment inside and out is gorgeous, the food is scrumptous--but most of all, your company is so kind and welcoming. You both certainly have a gift for this! This is our 4th visit and will not be our last. See you again soon and thank you! T&C, Woodbury, MN
9/5/09 Jim and Joy--Once again we had an amazing, relaxing, romantic and memorable stay our second time around in this beautiful room! (Barnum Suite) Celebrating our 10th anniversary here was just as amazing as it was celebrating our first nine years ago!! The breakfast and hospitality was what made our stay so enjoyable. The two of you sure do know how to make your guests feel special! A lot has changed for us in the last nine years so it sure was nice to come back to the memories we had here and relive it all over again. Until we meet again--M&M, Rochester, MN
August 28-30, 2009 Visit #6! Just as great as the last 5! Thanks for continuing to make one of our birthday weekends (this time S's) so special and memorable. After staying at many B&B's over the past several years, this is still our favorite and we look forward to coming back every year! Breakfast was fabulous, as always--and your new custom cards, a nice added touch. Thanks again or all you do--you truly make us feel special and pampered every time we come. See you next year! W&S, Minneapolis, MN"
August 21-23, 2009 We will be back! We have traveled extensively and this is by far the nicest and best maintained B&B yet. The hospitality was suburb and the gourmet breakfast surpasses the finest restaurants. We iiwll return when visiting the area. Thank you. G&B, Buffalo/Crosslake, MN"
July 7, 2009 Dear Jim and Joy, First, we will have to give a huge thank you to our daughter-in-law in London for finding your amazing, beautiful B&B on the Internet. Deana truly found a gem!
Then, we will once again thank our four sons and our daughters-in-law for giving us such a wonderful, thoughtful Christmas gift to enjoy when we chose to have a relaxing getaway.
Last, but certainly not least, thank you to you, Jim and Joy, for your beautiful, warm and gracious home and for opening it as a B&B for all to enjoy. It is by far, the most gracious and beautiful B&B that we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It is very obvious how much you enjoy your home and your gift of being hospitable, by all that you give and share with your guests each day. We felt so at home, thanks to your graciousness, it felt as though we were visiting friends at their home, not by two wonderful people operating a business. We enjoyed visiting with you, having a tour of your beautiful home, hearing of the history of your gracious home, relaxing on your beautiful front porch, hearing the creek outside our bedroom windows, sleeping wonderfully in our feather bed, reading your daily newsletter and last, but again, not least--enjoying your wonderful, amazing breakfast that you delivered to our room each morning. The two of you are very warm, giving people and it certainly shows in all that you have put into your home and all of the rooms for your guests to enjoy and to make sure that they have a relaxing experience at your B&B.
Thank you so very much for everything! We will certainly be back again and will highly recommend your B&B to our family and friends. God bless you. L&R"
June 22, 2009 Outstanding hospitality by Joy and Jim in making us feel like family in these lovely surroundings. Some B&B's feel like inns--this one feels like a home. Outstanding attention to cleanliness and detail -- pink ribbons around the spare t.p. WOW! We had the wild rice soup and bread when we arrived -- very glad we did! Breakfast on the porch was fabulous -- this home has it all -- Could not have found a better place to celebrate our 40th anniversary !! J&R, Rochester, MN
