The Native Sanctuary - Iron Amethyst Inn

This room is named after our town Mazomanie. Our town’s name, Mazomanie, comes from Chief Mazomani, a leader of the Sioux of Minnesota. His name translates to “The Iron That Walks,” or “Walking Iron.” Our town was named by Edward Brodhead, a superintendent of the railroad during the 1850’s. Chief Mazomani was described as a firm friend of the whites. He was wounded on September 23, 1862, in a battle between a band of Indians led by Little Crow, a Sioux chief, and the U.S. Army near Yellow Medicine River, Minnesota. Chief Mazomani had sought a flag of truce, but was shot while running toward the Army’s lines. He died several days later. The queen-sized bed sits calmly amid native furnishings and decor. Features a private entrance and full bath, make The Native Room Retreat your personal retreat! Located on the first floor.
