Is
breakfast a favorite meal for you? If your answer is yes, you will be more than
pleased with Breakfast at Thayer's; it's an
event! With great coffee and juice plus fresh fruits, cheese and pastries for
the starter, and then a terrific mouth watering main
course (the photo to the left is a Belgian waffle and thick sliced bacon) and then
breakfast finishes off with hand dipped chocolate dipped strawberries.
Do you have food sensitivities or allergy's? Well don't worry. Your having a breakfast you will enjoy that fits your needs is why we do what we do. So, if you need or want a specific diet like Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free, Adkins, Weight Watchers, Heart Healthy, Diabetic or even a Macrobiotic diet, give us at least a 48 hour advance notice.

Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is a B&B with a haunting personality! Yes, we have ghosts, yes they visit, but, remember Sharon lives here so, NO the ghosts aren't mean, and they are not scary, and they are not stuck, and they are not creepy. The ghosts visit Thayer's and Sharon just like you do. If you are looking for a creepy, scary, Friday the13th or Amityville horror, Hollywood movie type place to stay... sorry, you wont find it here. Thayer's is a comfortable, beautiful, healing and happy place to spend some time getting to know yourself and spirits better.

As we mentioned earlier, we make sure to accommodate restricted diets like Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, diabetic, macrobiotic, heart - healthy or soy allergies; we work the necessary items into your menu. We offer organic and range foods as often as we can.
Many guests say that one of the best parts of their stay is our multi-course, 'white linen' full breakfast complete with chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. Portions here are large; if you are not usually breakfast eaters, it's OK... let us know prior to your arrival and Sharon will design a smaller breakfast that works for you.

We consider ourselves very fortunate because Thayer's is actually a haunted Bed and Breakfast. The first owners of Thayer's, Gus and Caroline Thayer, Sharon's late husband, Warren, plus a number of their friends visit regularly. If you think for one minute that Sharon would live in a haunted home that was distressing and spooky, think again, it wouldn't happen!
It is Gus who leaves pennies for guests and it is many other of his friends that stop in for a visit now and again and Miss Lilly the spirit from room 306 actually helps out during our GH101 classes. Thayer's has three resident ghost kitties and a myriad of sightings have taken place here.
When WCCO TV, a Minneapolis based TV station did a spot on Thayer's; they brought in Gina Booth, medium and cofounder of the Northern Minnesota Paranormal Investigative Group to check Thayer's out. You can find the spot by going to www.wcco.com , click on video and do a search for haunted. Then click on "spend a night in a "haunted hotel" by Jason DeRusha. Gina Booth from the NMPIG agrees, Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is indeed haunted!
