Kristin and Chris were exceptional and communicative hosts for our four-night stay at the Moulin Rouge House. The renovations and time which have gone into restoring such a historic part of Mankato is breathtaking. Our room was cozy and clean, the bed was comfortable, and the water pressure was fantastic (which was a pleasant surprise for such an old building!). Our expectations for a continental breakfast were surpassed by the thoughtful array put out for us daily. We are hopeful to come back in the spring and attend the Moulin Rouge special 4 course brunch!

We stayed at Moulin Rouge because of its proximity to the Mankato race start and ending. The house was beautiful. Our bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on! There was always food available in the kitchen for all that were staying at the house. The house was clean and very comfortable. I can’t wait to stay there again!

This place was amazing! Felt like we were living in the original 1886 house. Kristin and Chris did a tremendous job in bringing the historic home back to original. The history is something else. Very well set up. Within walking distance of lots of shops and cool restaurants. Very responsive hosts. Highly recommend it!

What an enjoyable stay! The house was centrally located with an easy walk to several restaurants and nightlife. Rooms were cozy and quiet with all the amenities one could ask for from a B&B. The owners were responsive to questions and requests, and the Sunday breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend a stay if you appreciate architecture, warm accommodation, and a friendly atmosphere. While there, be sure to read up on all of the restoration work the owners did - it was impressive!

The owners are great communicators to their guests and want to make every detail perfect for them individually. Everything we asked for was made to happen with ease. The breakfast was excellent and the accommodations are exactly as promised. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area wanting a great experience and no disappointments.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Moulin Rouge Bed and Breakfast. The room was very nice and with individual comfort controls. Shower rain head nice. The amenities well planned. Our only complaint was the bed was high and difficult to get in and out comfortably.

Had the best stay at the Moulin Rouge House for our mother/daughter getaway to visit the Betsy Tacy houses and explore Maud Hart Loveleace’s Mankato. Chris was a fabulous host, the accommodations were wonderful and the food was delicious. So much time and detail has gone into making it a memorable experience for the guests. If you find yourself in Mankato it’s a must stay!

A beautiful historical home with many charming architectural details. We really enjoyed our visit: lounging in the downstairs rooms and having a great sleep in our comfortable bedroom with its en-suite bathroom. Breakfast in the dining area was a nice start to our day. I would love to be back if I’m in Mankato again. Many thanks to the thoughtful hosts!

We decided to take advantage of local places this year for a birthday celebration. We had the entire Moulin Rouge House to ourselves. The porch light was on along with other lamps. It was so inviting. The Christmas tree in the front window glowed with beauty so we accepted the invitation and sat to take in the beauty and wonder about all the stories the walls must hold. We had muffins and juice/coffee waiting for us in the morning. Thank you to the owners for all the love and work put into restoring this Mankato treasure.

Beautiful historic home in a convenient location. It was an easy walk to the downtown town area with a good choice of places to eat. The self serve continental breakfast was excellent. This was a very pleasant change from chain motels on our drive across the country.

I had a wonderful stay at the Moulin Rouge in the Moulin Rouge suite! The house is absolutely stunning inside and out and the restoration was done with such a keen eye for detail and authenticity while also modernizing the facilities. The beds are very comfortable and the decorative touches give a homey feeling to every room. The location is an easy walk to sights and dining as well.My friend and I were lucky enough to be there for the four-course Sunday brunch which I highly recommend! The food was delicious and we enjoyed getting to know Chris and our fellow guests so much. Everything about this place is warm, inviting, and thoughtful. Would definitely stay here again!

Would be all 5 stars but the bed was a little uncomfortable. Had a lean into the middle. Other than that, absolutely loved our stay and the breakfast was amazing. Did a wonderful job renovating the home. Wish we had more time to just enjoy. Beautiful sitting rooms inside the house and a gorgeous porch. Walking distance to fantastic restaurants and venues like the Vetter Stone Amphitheater. Will return and suggest to others.

We drove down from the Twin Cities to attend the Wynonna Judd concert in Mankato. We booked the BnB rather than a hotel. WOW! We paid a little extra for a bottle of wine & charcuterie board which were in the room when we checked in & it was delicious! Amazing Sunday morning 4-course breakfast! Great room, awesome common areas, wonderful stay. Local restaurants & bars within walking distance.Terrific inn owners & hospitality!

Beautiful house, restored by a local group. Historic building too… a sight to see. The breakfast was memorable, delicious and fine quality service. I seek this place out every time I am in Mankato. We stayed with our teenage kids and everyone loved it.
