LANESBORO, Minn. – The old Thompson furniture store in downtown Lanesboro has been reinvented as a boutique hotel. Chelsey and Levi Skelly, newcomers to Lanesboro, presided at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and began taking reservations. The 150-year-old Victorian building, on Parkway Avenue North, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Skellys have nine guest rooms in the $100 a night range. They said they have no immediate plans to reopen a former gourmet in the basement.
