8/10 Very good

Room was very nice
Shawn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room and the beds were very comfortable. Also, appreciated being able to swim in the lake and that they allow pets. I also liked that the rooms had an electric fireplace. Would definintely stay here again.
Dawn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Like the view of the river and the wildlife...did not like the breakfast selection... can get that at a much cheaper hotel.Have to say I was disappointed in the overall stay.
Sherron, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was so fun to be on the water. We had access to kayaks, a canoe, rowboats, and a paddleboat!
J Carleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint little resort for a weekend getaway. Staff was very accommodating with check-in and check-out. Lovely view of the lake. I will definitely stay here again.
Emily, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was not kept up. We checked in and looked at our room and decided to get in the car and drive an hour further west to find a nicer place to stay. For us it just was not a very nice place. The man checking us in was nice.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lake and snowmobile trail access as well as parking were great, room view and fireplace were nice extras
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived and to our surprise we were upgraded to a cabin instead of a hotel room. Nice by the lake. Cabin was clean and had dishes and cookware to use.

10/10 Exceptional

Easy to check in I had problem to make the TV work, 5 min and it was fixed
Pierre, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I think the property was sufficient for what we needed for one night. Walls were really thin, could hear the whole conversation at 4:00 AM in the next room. Patio door was really had to open. All was clean though. Check in was a quick phone call.
Brenda, 1-night trip

This was a perfect cozy stay!!!! Loved the fireplace and high ceilings!!!
Natasha, 1-night trip

Things seem laid back here. People are friendly.
Ben, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Such beautiful views, clean property, the only thing I’d change is having blow drier in the rooms
Shana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the room with high ceiling, beautiful fireplace, great scenery from the deck, and thd carpet was a great touch to make it cozy. Check in/out was very easy. The two things i wasnt thrilled about was the stains on the tub and that the staff weren't available in person. Very comfortable stay and would highly recommend!!
Makala, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I will definitely go back

I really enjoyed being on the lake with my puppies. I didn’t see a way to recycle but I also didn’t ask. It was comfortable and clean. I liked it a lot.
Tracey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

One nighter

It was a nice quiet place. Close to the lake which was nice. I had my dog with me and they didn't charge a crazy amount for having him with. The TV was a little bit difficult to maneuver. I think there were issues with the remote. It could have had a few more amenities. Tissue hair dryer. Just the little things that make you stay a little better. Overall it was a nice place. Check in went smoothly.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent place to stay if your over tired.

We found this little gem when we came to Hill City to ride sxs with another group. Easy to find, about a mile out of town. Parking a truck and trailer was not convenient at all. Office was in disarray and I was worried about the condition of the room after being in the office area but the room was pleasant. Overlooks the lake so that was nice, fireplace in the room but we never could get it to come on. Pretty dated room and bathroom but was fine for two nights after riding all day. Negatives that we couldn’t over look: no hairdryer in the room, beds were not comfortable. We would stay here again as there aren’t many options in this town but I would come better prepared.

If you love nature this is the most affordable resort.
Hesham, 1-night trip

Like the rustic look. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Best sleep we have had in nights. Nice lake view. Beautiful sunrise.
Ann I, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Motel rooms have fireplace and a deck that has a view of the lake!! Only bad thing was no ice machine but it’s northern MN so no biggie. Kayaks, pedal boat and canoes were super fun and easy to enjoy! Staff is awesome and very accommodating! We really enjoyed our stay.
