We stayed here in March and it was very quiet. I didn’t realize when I booked it that the bar/restaurant was closed early in the week. We stayed Tuesday-Thursday, and I believe the restaurant opened up on Thursday or Friday evening. Overall, a nice place to go relax with your family and friends. We were there on business and there was no where to go to work on my laptop, so had to drive into a coffee shop in Nisswa. Also, there was no where in our room to work either.

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,
