Cloran Mansion

At the Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast, we aim to give you the best of both worlds. Relax in the beauty of an 1880 home built in the timeless elegance of Italianate architecture. But enjoy the amenities of a modern inn, including private bathrooms, Jacuzzi tubs built for two, in-room gas and electric fireplaces, plenty of parking, 1.5 acres of gardens, and other comforts meant to pamper. We want you to feel from the moment you enter to the time you leave that you are guests, not simply customers. A romantic getaway, time away with friends, a solitary retreat – whatever brings you here and whatever roads you’ve traveled – we want Cloran Mansion to be your destination.

When you stay at a bed and breakfast, you want to know that you matter. You want to know that the innkeepers are there because they care about making your getaway special. You want to know that you are staying in a place with character and history. With every guest, our hope is that you will find the Cloran Mansion to be that kind of place.

Some people travel quite often. For others, getting away for a couple of nights without the kids is a rare and special treat. Some people have stayed in bed and breakfasts all over. For other people – and we typically hear this several times a week – this is their first time at a B&B.

Whatever the case may be, we know that your time away to decompress and enjoy is something to treasure.

At the Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast, we want to ensure there is plenty of modern comfort to complement the historic charm.

All guest rooms have private baths. All of the rooms have either a gas or electric fireplace. Five of the six rooms feature a double jacuzzi tub with a supply of Dead Sea Salts.

The common space has a Keurig coffee maker to enjoy whenever you’d like, tea, granola bars, popcorn, ice, a microwave oven, and a DVD library with literally hundreds of titles! (We know it is a little old-school…but still fun!)

Finally, from spring through fall, enjoy our 1.5 acres of grounds. Our property features a screened gazebo next to a 1,600-gallon pond, a patio with fire pit, tasteful landscaping, a variety of flowers and trees, and an Amish-built swing for two And because we have a long, convenient driveway, parking here is never an issue.

We hope you will agree that the Cloran Mansion is in a great spot. We are under two miles from Main Street, straight down Franklin, where you will find blocks and blocks of shopping and restaurants.

At the same time, we are on 1.5 acres of property to provide a wonderful setting to relax away from downtown.

The Cloran Mansion is open year-round and is just a twenty-minute drive to skiing and a fifteen-minute drive to the Mississippi River, where bald eagles love to inspire visitors, especially in winter months.

Had a wonderful 2 night stay at Antonio’s Cottage! Very private and romantic with plenty of space and amenities. Paul was a very pleasant and kind host. Our two breakfasts were very delicious and creative, with more than enough food! The mansion is stately and intimate and the grounds are beautifully landscaped with plenty of shade from the stately old trees. The gazebo and fire pit provided a welcome respite from the shops along the Main Street! Can’t wait for our return trip this coming winter!

My fiancée and I choose Cloran Mansion for our wedding venue, and with a 3-week lead time, Paul made it happen! From securing a beautiful wedding cake to arranging my bouquet and boutonniere for my husband to be, it was the best, stress-free wedding experience a bride could ask for. We took advantage of the couples massage, it was perfect for the day before our big event! The daily breakfasts were excellent, but most important was Paul's hospitality. We will definitely be back for another stay.
