Property was great, wish we got a better rundown of where things were at. Also went to the restaurant right by the lobby and the sign said wait to be seated and we stood there for 5 minutes and no one even said hi.

Excellent Suite Beyond Expectations!
Had not been to area before this 4-night stay for attending a boat show. Our particular accomodation was a suite with elec. fireplace in space having King bed. Had 2 T.V.s, a full-size, cold refrigerator, 4-cup drip coffee maker. But, bring your own coffee or take am hike to lobby for their excellent complimentary coffee. The room was clean and well-kept. Enough towels, etc for entire stay. Indoor tennis/pickleball, pool, and walking track. Very nice!

I expedited some sort of dining room to be available. We were in the main lodge and the only thing was a very small and vary limited bar menu. It was bad.

The property was very well upkept, the staff was very pleasant, grounds were clean, quiet, vast (as ther was alot to do from indoor pool, out door pool, the swiming beach, many rental options, play ground for the kids and the floating platform/gungle gym in the lake.) Many room options, cabins to bigger housing options or just stay in the main lodge. I got over 10,000 steps in just walking around the main building. BIG... Onsite bar / restraunt. Theres irmas kitchen. Food at indoor pool side. Sun deck. Breakfast in the morning. To planning your wedding venue onsite. Large boat tour of the lake. And many other things to do i probably missed... so go stay for 2 days to a week or more. Something for everyone. And only a few minutes from brainard and nisswa. So have fun and happy resorting...
