What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the vibe is ‘lake house,’ as befits the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and there’s a healthy thread of outdoorsy Americana running through the décor.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Washington Avenue runs right outside, placing the East Bank campus and its light rail station just steps from the lobby.
The rooms
Houndstooth fabrics and woodland patterns warm the bedrooms. Framed artwork nods to local literary figures like F. Scott Fitzgerald.
At the table
The Beacon Public House serves gastropub dishes and late-night pizza. Guests gather around long communal tables and the wood-paneled bar.
How it began
The property operated as a geek-chic boutique called The Commons before its 2017 transformation into a collegiate lodge.
