Detailed Reviews
Kelly and Peter went above and beyond and then abit further to make sure I had a great experience whilst in Hibbing and I did!!
Their B&B is a lovely property with lots of character and everything you need. The room and bed were comfortable. I’m travelling around part of the US and this was my best nights sleep on the trip. The property is well located for easy access to the restaurants, Bob Dylan’s childhood house, shops, airport etc
Thank you

My wife and I did a two week tour of several cities in Minnesota, including Grand Marais, Duluth & Hibbing. We were up there to escape the Florida heat and didn't really know what we were going to do, but turned out to have a really great vacation. Please see my other posts regarding lodging, meals, etc. if you are interested in a similar trip.
Regarding this B&B...excellent place to visit. This is similar to an image that pops into my head when describing your prototypical B&B. We ended up in Hibbing and weren't really sure what to do, but Pam gave us several options to keep busy. The town was very cute and we spent a lot of time walking around. A few spots weren't super nice, but nothing scary and most of the town was nice. Pam keeps the B&B extremely clean and well maintained, and it shows. She had some minor construction going on outside but was more than willing to chat with us when we tracked her down. We stayed in the room on the third floor and we were very pleased. Very nice bedroom and 'family room' area with plenty of room to spread out. Overall an excellent place to stay and the rates were great.

I just returned from a 4 night stay, over Mother's Day weekend, at the Mitchell-Tappen House B&B in Hibbing , Minnesota. My entire experience was wonderful and began with the friendly booking over the phone with Pam, the owner. After explaining I would be arriving very late, she kindly waited up for me and showed me to my room, the Oliver on the second floor. My room was lovely and tranquil in shades of pale blue and white. The king bed was very comfortable and the large room included a loveseat, by the tv/dvd/ (stocked with movies) in the antique armoire and a dining table and chairs by the windows of the turret. The attached bathroom was large, bright, like new and very clean. A hairdryer is supplied as well as shampoo/cond., shower gel, foaming bath and linen spray and even a toothbrush, in case you forgot yours!
The breakfasts were great! Each began, in the beautiful breakfast room, with coffee, juice ( I had mango-passion fruit -apple), a large fresh fruit plate with slices of melons and grapes. This was followed, on the various mornings, by quiche and bacon, waffles, blueberry syrup and sausage or baked Finnish pancake (loaded with raspberries!) and bacon, all generous and delicious.
The other rooms available to the guests, the living room and sunroom, are comfy, charming and a very nice place to sit and chat or just relax. Parking is free on the street in front, and you are within, walking distance of downtown, restaurants, the historic Hibbing High School and Bob Dylan's house.
I visit Hibbing yearly and have stayed at every hotel/motel in the area and this is "the" place to stay!

My wife, Christina, and I stayed at the Mitchell-Tappan House over the 2011 Memorial Day Weekend, when the town of Hibbing hosts its annual Dylan Days festival. If you know anything about Hibbing, you know that besides being the boyhood home of Bob Dylan, it is “the town that moved,” in that when iron ore was found underneath the site of the town, the citizens chose to transport their buildings a few miles to the south. The Mitchell-Tappan House was the first house to be moved back in the early part of the 20th century.
This is one of the nicest B&Bs I’ve ever seen. The house itself is beautiful, but Innkeepers Pam and Mike Turnbull have kept this historic structure in such good repair and have decorated it with such style, you’ll find staying here to be an unforgettable experience. The first-floor “common areas” are all sunny and bright, and throughout you’ll find local Iron Range artifacts. By that, I don’t mean a bunch of mining gear or anything that would have been out of place in the private elegant home of a turn-of-the-century mining official. (The house was built for the Superintendent of the Oliver Iron Mining Company in 1897.) Everything seems historic without being kitschy. Everything is very tasteful yet still very interesting and unique. (The architecture in the town of Hibbing is the same way, a conflation of styles that must be seen to be believed.)
I saw a few of the bedrooms on the second floor, and each one is very spacious and should suit the needs of just about anyone. They’re all very bright and welcoming. We stayed on the third floor, which would have probably been the servants quarters in the original home, but don’t worry. I’m 6’2” and I never bumped my head. The ceilings are high and the décor is elaborate and interesting. The third floor features a large “living room” area that includes comfy chairs, tables, bureaus, etc. Two bedrooms, the Turnbull Room and the Chisolm Room branch off this living room area, as does the shower. The sink is in the large living area itself, which makes me think this was the servants’ quarters. You wouldn’t put a sink in the attic, would you?
Anyhow, Christina and I stayed in the Turnbull with its king bed, and nobody was in the Chisolm Room, which features two twin beds. This would be a great place for families with children, as the kids could stay in the Chisolm and the parents could stay in the Turnbull.
The décor of the third floor features historic athletic equipment like tennis racquets and bobsleds, old straw “boater” hats, children’s stuffed animals and evergreen decorations. It looks a lot like one of those HGTV show homes.
Breakfast is served at a specific time, which Ann confirms with you when you check in. Whatever you do, don’t miss the breakfast. Each day was something new, and many of the recipes reflect Minnesota traditions. The breakfasts here are some of the most carefully prepared I’ve ever experienced, and you can tell that Ann takes a lot of pride in what she brings to the table—and probably a lot of time too. I know it would take me forever if I were to try some of those recipes.
If you ask, Ann will also give you plenty of recommendations on what to do in the area. We were there for Dylan Days, so most of our schedule was already filled, but when we wanted to go for a drive that Sunday, Ann recommended several little towns to the North, a few attractions, and a great restaurant in Ely. The house itself is within walking distance of everything. Hibbing’s a very small town, but there’s a lot to see here if you take your time. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Our first B&B experience and it was a very good one. House is beautifully decorated and has been updated in the places it counts (bathrooms!). Service couldn't have been better and the breakfasts were fantastic. There is no comparison that can be made with this place and any of the local hotels. A must stay.

We were on our way to pick up our daughter at Camp, had an extra night and decided to divert over to catch a glimpse of the Minnesota Iron Range town of Hibbing which produced our college years' hero , legendary Bob Dylan. Hibbingites are a sturdy bunch, and the "Times They Are A Changin", is not particularly iron country music. They are luke warm on Bob (he was Zimmerman back then) but in hospitality and friendliness they are top notch. We found the Mitchell-Tappan B&B in a list of lodgings and made a call. We were so impressed by the innkeeper's husband's friendliness that we reserved a room without delay. The house is a stuccoed Victorian which, though very neat and well kept, does not look "just right" on its foundation. That's because much of the town of Hibbing was moved when iron was discovered under it and this home was one of those moved and somewhat altered long ago. The inreiors are really beautiful. The family shares the house but lives in the rear giving guests the full living room, dining room, pantry with fridge and sun room. We had the master suite which was a huge room with private bath, DVD player stocked with movies, and many other amenities. The other rooms are a bit smaller but immaculate and some may have shared bath (so be sure to ask about that.) The innkeeper is a delightful lady who has raised two kids and works a real job and her husband is a college coach...solid, sturdy Minnesota folks and the greatest. The breakfast was sumptuous and they made you feel totally relaxed. They humored us as we did a little Dylan pilgrimage to a GREAT basement exhibit in the public library and to his old home. There were people from Germany also gazing at the somewhat wierd looking Dylan (Zimmerman) home. You will not go wrong period at this B&B. It was totally excellent from head to toe.

Would highly recommend staying here. We stayed with friends in the Mitchell and the Tappan rooms sharing the bath. You can see that many hours have been invested renovating and decorating this beautiful house. Pam gave us a tour of all the rooms as well as recommending places to see in Hibbing The high school is amazing. Definitely worth the time to visit. We spent two days biking on the Mesabi Trail and so enjoyed staying at this B&B and seeing a little of Hibbing. . Breakfast was gourmet and delicious. Pam is a wonderful host.

Places that get *all* 5-star reviews are suspect ... because it's got to be fake, right? Nope, this is the real deal. It's clean (but not perfumey-chemical clean ... they dry the sheets outside on the clothesline so they smell like fresh air!) and nice. Close to everything you want to walk to on Howard Street (main drag of Hibbing). Beds are cushy, rooms are quiet with lots of light, there are tons of extra towels, blankets (even your own bathrobes), etc. Prices for this B&B are very reasonable, considering you get a delicious homemade breakfast. I stayed in the 3rd floor "twin beds" room which has a shared bathroom, but I was the only guest on the 3rd floor when I stayed, so I had the whole attic to myself. The owners are very careful of guests' privacy, and quick to accommodate any needs, such as breakfast times. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Next time I'm coming back with my husband to stay in the the "garden suite," a kitchenette room with a queen bed and courtyard away from the main building.

This was our first visit to northern Minnesota, occasioned by a wedding in Hibbing. Pam, our hostess in the B & B was very pleasant and accommodating for our 3-day stay. Her breakfasts were filling, always including fresh fruit, choice of fruit juices, some kind of eggs and sausage, pastries and good coffee. The house and rooms were over-stuffed with Victorian objects and artificial flowers but well-kept and pretty. Bed was comfortable. Some rooms had to share a bath, but Pam kindly didn't book anyone into the room with which we would have had to share the hall bathroom. She recommended wonderfully interesting tourist sights in Hibbing: Greyhound Bus museum, Hibbing High School from 1920 (really amazing), and Hall-Rust iron ore mines and local restaurants. All in all, a great experience.
