Top River Bend Nature Center Hotel Reviews

Super spacious cabin. Simple layout and great views overlooking the lake!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice spot next to lake. Great hosts. Chicken's and ducks were funny to watch."

5BR near Shattuck - Sleeps 10|85" TV|Pet-Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Adam is a spectactular host. The house has been beautifully updated and allows for many people to sleep, eat, socialize and congregate.The stairs to the front door were tricky for some older folks as they are somewhat steep but not terrible. Thank you, Adam!"

Regency Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Older hotel kept very clean, quiet even though close to the interstate. Room size was perfect, clean bathroom area, everything worked, felt comfortable and secure there. Good selection for breakfastWell lit entrances and parking lot. 2 negatives were one of the room door was real sticky and did not shut on its own and the posted list of fines for anything 'stained', broken or stolen was tacky."

Cannon Lake Getaway with Outdoor Kitchen, Private Beach, Game Room & Bunk Room

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this Cannon Lake Home. The cabin is SO well appointed with everything you need plus so many thoughtful extras. Usually with vacation rentals the pictures sort of over-sell the property. But with this one, it's better than the photos.Breauna's communication and hospitality were amazing. She's a great host and we would definitely come back.We stayed on a chilly fall weekend, so we did not make use of the lake or pontoon at all, but the game room was great for entertaining teenage kids while mom and dad relaxed in the quiet lake house with great views.It should be noted, that the loft area and the bunk room are above the garage/game room. If you have younger kids, they do have options for an adult to sleep out there on temporary or pull out beds. But if you plan sleep in one of the comfy king sized beds pictured and your kids are in the bunk room, you will be in separate buildings. It was great for us, maybe not for younger kids.The outside space was also amazing with the gazebo, firepit, grill area and tons of yard games. Just SO many ways to enjoy this space!"

Boarders Inn & Suites by Cobblestone Hotels - Faribault

8/10 Good

"The hotel is great for those who don’t want to be bothered. It’s a nice place just a little worn down. Pool was amazing! Breakfast was great! but the rooms need updating. No fan in the bathroom so the bathroom stayed moist. Beds were a little hard but not bad. Ac was great. Parking lot a little dark so it can be a little creepy but that meant no bright light shining through the curtains. Great check in easy and fast. There was a guy outside, felt like every time I would let my dog out he was there, was odd but not menacing. Stayed for 3 nights. This hotel is dependent on the kind of person you are. If your looking for somthing with decent rates a hot breakfast and a pool, I’d reccomend it. But if your used to nice hotels you will not like it."
