Welcome to The River Nest Bed & Breakfast website. Our Bed and Breakfast is located on the main channel of the Mississippi River, just 1 mile upriver from Wabasha, Minnesota, in beautiful Reads Landing. We consider our B&B the best in the Wabasha, Reads Landing and Lake Pepin area!
We are Carol & Bill Dunn, your hosts, and we built this extraordinary place in 2005 as our home and your getaway. Both guest suites afford stunning views of the river and exceptional privacy.
For a scenic vacation, relaxation, or a romantic weekend, The River Nest offers the accommodations to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. Enjoy the private deck, or relax in the jaccuzi while you watch eagles flying over the river.
Each suite has a fireplace, Jacuzzi, and sitting area overlooking the river as well as a private deck or patio. Both have a queen bed, full bath with walk-in shower, refrigerator, cable TV, DVD, free wifi, and separate zone heating and cooling controls (We’re “green” with Geo-Thermal heating and cooling.) The Terrace Suite is wheelchair-friendly.
We deliver homemade treats and coffee to your suite an hour before a FULL breakfast in the main dining room, complete with dessert–just like Grandma Tillie served! Home-grown berries, apples, and vegetables are featured in our breakfasts. You won’t leave hungry!!!
