Laven House Bed and Breakfast

Welcome to your home away from home!

Nestled within Mankato, Minnesota's storied Lincoln Park Neighborhood, Laven House B&B stands as a timeless testament to the city's rich heritage. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Meyer Family in 1886, this architectural gem embodies the elegance of a bygone era.

Each corner of Laven House B&B whispers tales of its past, paying homage to its former guardians, Doug and Candy Laven. Their unwavering dedication to restoration over 23 years breathed new life into this historic property. It's a legacy that resonates through every nook and cranny, preserving their memory within its walls.

Today Laven House B&B offers respite providing 4 comfortable guest rooms, each with private baths. Enjoy your favorite film in the 10-seat movie theater in the restored lower level with an additional charge. We are close to activities and attractions including downtown, the local events center and restaurants.
