This brand new hotel was ideally located near downtown and the lake. The staff was very friendly (small town charm is what I call it!). The warm breakfast in the morning was excellent and there was lots of food varieties. I don't write many reviews, but I had to on this hotel as it is one of the best I have ever stayed at!

4 bedroom cabin with 60 feet of prime sand beach, the best on the lake!!! Great water recreation and great fishing. Large cabin has a fenced-in backyard, gorgeous fire pit, large deck, amazing sunsets, and a double hammock for your relaxation. A small fishing boat, swim dock, 2 bikes and water toys. Located on the very end of the street, very quiet. Sleeps 12, space for even more. You can walk out 200 yards in ~5 feet of water, or bike a quaint 2 miles to town on Lake Shore drive. You will not find a better beach on the lake or a more relaxing!

Directions: Directions from the Twin Cities: Take I-94 west to Sauk Centre, then MN 28 west to Glenwood. At the stoplight turn left on MN 104 and go five miles south. Turn right on Pope county road 18 and go five miles west. Turn right on 275th Ave. and go to the intersection with 215th St and continue straight ahead into the driveway. Contact Information: Connie & Neil live in adjacent home on the property, and are usually around to assist you or answer questions. Charming 3 bedroom/2 bath year round house. Originally built in 1900 as home to the family that farmed the adjacent land. The house is completely updated, and sits on 2 acres, with 150 feet of wooded shoreline on the south side of Lake Minnewaska. This is much more than a cabin, inside and out. Washer and dryer are now available. With prior written permission, friendly pets are welcome. There will be an additional cleaning fee. Smoking outside only please. Great for fall pheasant and waterfowl hunting, country getaway retreats, winter ice fishing and snowmobiling. Rates vary by season, but we believe they are always affordable, even for a family on a budget. Private boat dock with boat bumpers. Weekly slip rental available at the marina next to Hobo Park in Starbuck. Call for address, directions or any other questions.

Hotel was very dirty, old and dingy. We arrived from a long drive just wanting to relax and settle in. The room itself was basic and dark but we didnt expect much for the price. As we began to look around, the window air conditioner didnt work well (and it was 90 degrees), the towels were dirty, the floor was dirty and wet carpet, the sheets were dirty and there was some sort of debris between the layers of the sheets. Like old food, shavings from something, sand from the lake or dirt. This place was very dirty!! We left. I would not let my kids sleep in such a place. Very disappointing.
Pros: This hotel is really close to Lake Minewaska, and if you are a single guy that does not care if its clean, it would be a good option.
Cons: dirty, dark, window ac unit didnt work, not for families

Its not like a Comfort Inn but it was a convenient place to sleep. We were going to a funeral and not on vacation.
