And the rest is history...
In 1993, then Edina residents, Robert and Jackie Hansen purchased the Winfield Inn and Gardens and relocated to the Bayfield peninsula. Shortly after moving themselves their son Justin moved up to help with the operation of the inn. Their daughter, Brooke had also moved to the area soon after and was working outside the Winfield Inn for a few years before settling in to work in the family establishment. Slowly and steadily over the years the Hansen family remodeled and expanded the business to include a real estate company, vacation rentals and management, the extensive gardens and landscaping on the motel grounds, and the Winfield Garden Emporium as it is today. Over time their lobby gift shop grew too, and re-located to our current location downtown Bayfield.
