My daughter and I were visiting Macalester College. Although you can't walk it in the bitter cold or a blizzard, it is still very convenient for visiting the colleges in the area. Deborah and her husband were great. They provided breakfast and coffee. Lot's of helpful hints on where to eat and how to get around, and on a bitter cold morning a quick ride to the school even after a record snowstorm ! The room is in the attic and provides a sense of privacy and there is separate kitchen available for the guests.
If my daughter goes to Macalester I'm sure to become a regular !
