Jan 11, 2025

Such a disappointment. And i hate leaving reviews. But After working everyday for months. Spending good money, Wanting a close to home quick relaxing getaway expecting a nice relaxing room but instead ending up leaving after 4 hours Room was dirty, furniture cheap cardboard, bed the most uncomfortable ever. And i get they been remodeling. But maybe dont rent out a room thats dirty, bare and just not a relaxing place that was expected for the money. Best part was the our awesome waitress i think was Amanda,

Sep 27, 2024

The room was very spacious and had wonderful amenities. However, the door to the balcony was not secure, there was a ceiling issue above the in-room hot tub. I realize the next part may seem petty but the cleaning products they use are overwhelming. Not sure if it was PineSol or Fabuloso but it was extreme.

We had a double bed jacuzzi there was hair on the sheets on one bed, in the jacuzzi and shower. The bar beneath us closed at 10, however the loud music didn't stop until closer to midnight. Very limited snack or drink options. The air conditioner in the room didn't work.

Beautiful view but loud restaurant music.

View of lake from room was great. However, the restaurant was right below and loud music was played during afternoon until 9 or 10 at night. Loud restaurant clients were also easy to hear. One night they turned down the music, which was nice but not exactly the quiet retreat that my wife and I were hoping for. There was no extra toilet paper stored in the room - a basic perk you would hope for in a hotel. Kayaks and paddle boards were free to use and were lots of fun. Beach was small and most parts angled so much that any chair was uncomfortable. I would definitely bring a beach lounge chair if you want to relax because their beach lounge chairs were uncomfortable. Note that if you are going to bike on the awesome Paul Bunyan trail nearby, the hotel has cheaper bike rentals than rental shop in Nisswa. Overall the resort was nice and food was good but next time I plan to look elsewhere in the area for a resort that doesn’t have a restaurant below the rooms.

The room was nice, it was very clean. However, no regular cream for coffee, nor any coffee other than decaf. No information packet about checkout procedures, etc. The food was meh. It came out in under 5 minutes, so, you know it wasn't actually cooked, probably just nuked. $17 for plate of nachos and it had some processed cheese sauce. It had some good points, fresh veggies, some real melted cheese, etc. Also, had the prime rib dip. Was meh too. The au jus was almost flavorless. Nothing to write home about. The Also, wasn't impressed with plastic glasses. The dessert now was another story, very good. Overall we enjoyed our stay, simply expected a bit more from a place like that. Maybe our expectations were off as the place gets great ratings.

Easy and friendly check in. The resort is easy to navigate as it is small and quaint. Beautiful view of the lake. Steak dinner was delicious and drinks at fire table were delicious. Just a few issues that I would like to address ..as this place is not cheap to stay at. $1500 Canadian for 3 nights. First ..for cleanliness ..I would give our room a 4/10. Floors were not cleaned. Appliances were sweat wipes not polished. Garbage in between fridge and stove. Garbage can not wiped clean. Couch and lamp shades are stained. Patio doors and sills need to be washed. Stained coffee cups. No daily service is included ..like fresh linens etc. No one comes to check on you to see if all is good. Also, the patio door does not lock. Invest in some Clorox for the sinks ..to get some fresh smell into the room. Thanks.
