The Mansion
Historic 300 Clifton
The Eugene J. Carpenter Mansion
Minnesota's most Historically Significant Mansion
300 Clifton is one of the city’s most precious landmarks. Noted on the National Register of Historic Places the mansion is recognized as the finest example of Georgian Architecture in the state of Minnesota. Privately owned, operated, and a staple in the Loring Park community, the mansion is often the backdrop of neighborhood events and special occasions.
The Drawing Room
Overlooking the english gardens, the Drawing Room is without a doubt the most beautifully decorated room in the mansion. With hand-painted tropical murals, gold plaster onlays, and heavy ornate wood carvings this room will certainly take your breath away.
The Library
One of the most special rooms in the Mansion, the library has many original fixtures and furnishings. With rich warm earth toned fabrics and colors, and it’s ornately carved fireplace you’ll be immediately taken back to a pivotal time in Minneapolis’ History.

Trolley Tours
Discover Minneapolis!
To make the most out of your stay at 300 Clifton, the only Minneapolis Bed and Breakfast, we highly recommend taking a trolley trip on the Minneapolis Trolley. The trolley rides are deeply informative, but also funny and interesting. All trolley rides start and end at 300 Clifton, so it is very convenient for guests. Book your trolley tickets early before you arrive because trolley rides regularly sell out. There are trolley tours that will interest anyone, and the greatest variety of tours is on the weekend.
