A warm welcome from your hosts:
We're Kathi & Randy.
We consider travel to be one of the great delights and privileges in life.
Our own travels have left us with memories of splendid sights,
regional foods, and stirring conversations with local people.
Unique lodgings have contributed greatly to those memories.
We have always loved to open our home to others;
seeing hospitality as a way to help people connect,
believing that shared meals and conversation bridge chasms.
The blending of those twin passions, travel and hospitality,
is what fuels our vision for The Samuel Dearing House.
Our mission is to offer a warm welcome and
simple comforts to help each guest rest
from the pace and place of everyday life.
At the Samuel Dearing House, we offer carefully appointed guest rooms,
each dedicated to a person whose life's work has influenced us.
The rooms are furnished with antiques, curated books, and high-end linens.
Guests have remarked that they feel as if they've stepped back in time
while still enjoying modern comforts.
We typically provide a nice breakfast.* And always a bedtime snack!
Our visitors may also enjoy treats and beverages at any time
in a common space we call "The Cozy."
We're located in St. Paul and very near Minneapolis -
convenient to everything either city has to offer.
Whether pleasure or business
brings to you our area,
we’re here to welcome you to rest.
