 Classic Rosewood Inn and Spa and

   Thorwood Condos

Classic Rosewood Inn and Spa is a National Register 1880 Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast nestled in a historic district just four blocks from Downtown Hastings, Minnesota. Thorwood, a National Register 1880 French Second Empire is tucked into another historic neighborhood just a block from the Mississippi bluff and six blocks from Rosewood.

Every choice made for Thorwood and Rosewood during the saving, restoring and polishing was fueled by a desire to slow the pace and soothe the soul. Classic Rosewood and its eight rooms are famous for double whirlpools and wood burning fireplaces and really good food (local and organic) Enjoy in-suite massage and in house “Simple Suppers” as once here many can’t imagine leaving. Thorwood's condos boast gourmet kitchens, an abundance of fireplaces and private elevators.Specialties since 1983 have always been quiet, privacy and unobtrusive service.  Choose from either of these two distinct buildings and offerings to provide the perfect Hastings MN lodging experience.

Historic Hastings, with its small town warmth coupled with an abundance of natural waterways (three rivers and two lakes), make the Inns and town seem like a far away oasis. Yet Hastings is only 30 minutes from St. Paul, Minneapolis, the International Airport, The Mall of America, Red Wing and Stillwater. The most spectacular geography here is the confluence of the St Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Bluff views of the St Croix can be enjoyed from Carpenter Nature Center with its 300 acres and 15 miles of trails and apple orchard or from Freedom Park, a Wisconsin State Park in Prescott just 5 miles from the inn. Then Schaar’s Bluff, a Dakota County Park with amazing bluff views and trails is an amazing spot to catch the sunset and the perfect spot to pop THE question according to many of our guests. There is birding, boating and biking. The nature center’s bird list is 180 strong with at least eight eagles nests counted in the area. The bike–hike trail in Hastings is 15 miles with 12 miles along waterway. Historic downtown Hastings hosts an antique car show every other Saturday through the summer and The LeDuc Estate, seasonally open for tours, is said to be the most romantic example of gothic architecture in the nation. Wineries and orchards abound and we are lucky to be surrounded by eight golf courses and two ski areas (Welch and Afton Alps).

So it is your choice----come and be inspired by the natural beauty and adventure in the area or come and snuggle in and enjoy being pampered and acknowledge the true beauty of doing nothing.
