Northfield, Minnesota, is located along the shores of the Cannon River, just south of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and northwest of Rochester, MN.
For generations, visitors to this college town have found a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with so much to do. Both Saint Olaf and Carleton liberal arts colleges are based here, and their presence creates an active open atmosphere few other small communities can offer.
Whether you enjoy the arts, history or nature, you'll find multiple outlets for your educational curiosities. And when you are ready to wine, dine and relax, you'll find one-of-a-kind restaurants, live music and theater, and a variety of comfortable lodging options.
We invite you to spend the night and find out for yourself what we have to offer. For a memorable experience and a relaxing getaway, you'll find few Minnesota destinations as satisfying as Northfield.
