Best Resorts in Central Minnesota

"The hotel is a little out dated, but the location is amazing! The room felt dark and a bit 1980, but it had a lovely balcony with a view of the lake which was awesome."

"Only complaint was north hotels shower doesn’t have enough shelves for your products while in the shower. Tv is not a smart tv and you cannot stream Netflix etc. No balcony on 2nd floor of north hotel. Mini fridge could be bigger. Over all all amenities were amazing. Location amazing. Restaurants were amazing we ate at the Italian restaurant and northwood pub. Everyone who worked at the resort was extremely friendly. "

"Off season stay at resort, not many staff there. "

"Housekeeping wasn't the best. However, front desk went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. We will certainly return and recommend Gladdens to anyone!"

"Very nice. Please update the king bed"

"well organized"

"We loved the paddleboards, kayaks, floating dock, and pontoon. So many fun things to do on the lake. The fishing was good. It was fun to see the turtles too. The deck off our cabin was wonderful to sit on anytime of day, the spaciousness of our cabin was perfect for our family of 5. Our kids all had their own room. The full kitchen made it super easy to make our own meals. My only suggestion would be for more comfortable indoor chairs to sit on, maybe updated beds and bedding, curtains. The...

"Had a wonderful stay here for a weekend babymoon with my wife before the birth of our son. Property manager was easy to get a hold of and even allowed us to check in early and have a later check out which was greatly appreciated!"

"Great property and enjoyed amenities."

"Great dining, fun shopping, sitting lakeside; what's not to love!"

"Amazing property and great host. The home was extremely clean and well furnished."

"Wonderful family oriented environment nestled on a beautifully clear lake. Nature and wildlife are abundant. Will be back."

"Shady Hollow deserves an easy 5 star rating. My husband and I stayed with our 5 children aged 1-8, and it was perfect. We all enjoyed the beach, beautiful lake view, swimming, paddle boards, fishing, pedal boat and kayaks, which was included in the cost. The lake was shallow enough for our kids to play safely and there were plenty of toys on the beach for them to use and build sand castles. Our kids loved going to the office to get a treat and talk to Diana, who was so accommodating. We did...

"Had a lot of fun Watching Brian get rid of an odorous bucket of fish parts was very entertaining."

"Lake is super clean! The area is amazingly beautiful. Boat rental awesome too. Kid friendly. Short distance to other place and events. Owners are wonderful. Highly recommended"

"We stayed 2 nights off-season so didn't really use the beach area - it looked nice. It was pleasant sitting by the lake - no bugs. The kitchen was adequately supplied and the table and chairs were perfect for the 4 of us. The beds were OK."

"This is a cute motel. The property was clean and we had excellent communication. We were able to get an early check in when we called which was wonderful. Check in and check out was easy and convenient which doesn’t always happen with motels which have been updated. The walls are paper thin, so if you are a person that needs quiet I would say this is not the place for you. The bathroom was clean but the tub was not updated(think pink). This meant a nice big tub even if it was pink from another...

"We had to stay here to work a on project and the cabin was clean and the location was great."

"Staff was friendly and accessible, the grounds were gorgeous and there are lots of activities on-site. The boardwalks connecting all the cabins did make quite a lot of noise whenever people walked by, so that's my only real complaint."
