What To Expect:

In 1897, Dr. A.T. Conley, a physician in Cannon Falls for over forty years, built this grand three-story home. Our home is a classic example of Colonial Revival Architecture. The structure is noted for its six bay windows, six column front porch, double dormers and beautiful arched leaded glass window. This century old home has been lovingly looked after, and is here for you to enjoy and become a part of its history!

There are areas common to both innkeepers and our guests within the Quill & Quilt. You may enjoy relaxing in the parlor, near the Italian marble and tiger striped oak fireplace; perusing books, magazines and movie titles in our library; or maybe playing a game and sipping a hot or cold beverage at the large oak dining room table. We always provide hot tea & cocoa for our guests in the evening. Weather permitting, you may want to enjoy our back balcony overlooking the gardens or the large front porch, which is complete with a two-person porch swing.
