Calumet Inn

I had to go to Sioux Falls on Friday for work so Jim took the day off and we made a short trip out of it. After I was done in Sioux Falls, we drove to Pipestone MN and checked into the Calumet Inn, an historic hotel. They had started decorating for Halloween, so naturally I was inclined to love the place despite its oldness. And heck, the oldness had a charm of its own. 

Jim found a binder near the front desk with ghost stories from people who have stayed in the hotel, and we were mildly put out that we did not have a haunting to report. Oh well.

Old time charm

I love these chairs!

They haven't dusted the cobwebs in a while

Do you like stairs and railings? Then you should stay here.

Pipe decor, function AND decoration

I like the 2 story rock wall

Our room. Each room has a quaint name, like Summertime, Hearts and Flowers, Paradise...

Creepy baby doll. Why have a doll? We all know the furniture piece is a cradle.
