Directions to Whiteley Creek Homestead from Brainerd: At Brainerd's landmark water tower, next to the Chamber of Commerce, go east on Washington Street to the last stoplights at the eastern edge of Brainerd. You will see the East Brainerd Mall (with a Cub Foods Grocery at one end and a Caribou Coffee at the other end) off to your left. From the stoplights, go straight ahead on Highway 210 East exactly 2.4 miles. Turn right just past the "Whiteley Creek B&B" state highway sign. Follow the signs down the 1/2 mile drive to the gray, weathered Whiteley Creek Inn.

Directions from Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl. Airport:: Take I-494 West from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to I-94 toward St. Cloud. Just before St. Cloud take the Clearwater Exit. Go to the town of Clear Lake where you will turn left onto Highway 10 and head north to Little Falls. In Little Falls, where Highway 10 veers off to the west, go straight ahead onto Highway 371 North. Go 30 miles to Brainerd. About 5 miles before Brainerd you will have the option of taking the Brainerd bypass (to Baxter) or the old Highway 371 (to Brainerd). Take the old Highway 371. Upon reaching the Brainerd city limits, go straight ahead through several stoplights. Just after crossing over the railroad tracks, you will see the Chamber of Commerce and Brainerd's landmark water tower on your right. Turn right (east) onto Washington Street. See "Directions to Whiteley Creek Homestead from Brainerd" to guide you the remaining three miles.

    I stayed with you for a couple years in a row during the Little Falls craft sale time. I am thinking of surprising my boyfriend and bringing him here. I loved it. I could live here. 🙂 The food and atmosphere was amazing. Adrienne was a very gracious hostess. She paid such close attention to detail, dietary restrictions were not a problem. I can’t wait to come back.

    Hugs to you Adrienne.

    Thank you, Janis, for your interest in our bed and breakfast. Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate your request for October lodging, as we closed for the season at the end of August. We will reopen Memorial Weekend 2016. Please consider a stay with us next year. We’d love for you to visit Whiteley Creek Homestead!

    Adrienne,
    It has been quite a few years since I have been there and I have found myself thinking of you lately. I am hoping things are well with you. I loved staying there. I find myself smiling when I think of my stays there and when I read your recipes. I hope I can make it back there soon. It is time for my sig other to see one of few places that calms my soul. You have made a lasting impression on me.
    Hugs,
    Sarah Buchta (from Two Harbors, MN- I used to come with my mom and two of her friends for the Little Falls weekend)
