The Heartland Trail Bed & Breakfast was built in 1920 as the community school for the Hubbard County village of Dorset. Our newly-renovated B&B is again welcoming people to this unique hamlet. Your stay includes a full home-cooked breakfast each morning. Breakfast is served in our dining room or special arrangements can be made to be served on the upper deck outside the guest room or the lower patio.
The second floor landings are wonderful spots to read a book or visit with friends
We are just a block south of the access to "The Heartland Trail" (images/Trail Map.

Once completed this trail will connect Park Rapids to Walker, Bemidji and Brainerd and will be one of the longest paved trails in America.
