It was so fun to be part of some history and a clear labor of love on the owners' part. We got to read about how Whistle Stop came to be and it was truly very special to be a part of. The details were impeccable, from the wallpaper and sconces to the antique decor. We loved the two person jacuzzi tub, it let us relax and stay warm on a very chilly night! I especially love that breakfast was delivered and we got to eat it on the original benches in the train car. This was a truly spectacular experience. I highly recommend it! The only piece of feedback I have is that the website should make it much more clear that the train whistles can be heard at all hours of the night. We're pretty deep sleepers and only woke up once, but they are LOUD and honestly, if you're a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. That being said, I looked into reviews ahead of time and knew to prepare for this, but the owners should do this as well.

I personally loved the proximity to an active train line and could hear the whistle blowing as the trains would pass from time to time. I intend to stay in some of the other cars in the future.

Where to start......this B&B is amazing! The house is very old, but the interior is quite luxurious…read more- antiques everywhere, but coupled with AC and all the comforts. First of all, the owners - Michelle and Frank Vana, are some of the friendliest, and most accommodating B&B owners you will ever encounter. They both with to great lengths to make us feel welcome and that all our needs were met - and exceeded expectations. Michelle is an amazing cook. Her breakfasts are not only ample, but delicious. The stuffed french toast is particularly wonderful! Also, Michelle keeps the B&B stocked with a tempting variety of homemade cookies, treats, pies, etc - all delicious. Luckily, there is a walking/biking trail across the street to help work off all the extra calories! If you are looking for a top-quality, warm, inviting B&B in the Detroit Lakes/Vergas/Pelican Rapids area of Minnesota, Homestead Inn *cannot* be beat! (Just a heads up - if you pull the business up on Google Maps it may be noted as 'permanently closed" - this is NOT true!)

I married into a family that comes here annually, three generations and counting…read more This is a great place to do a week together as a family in the summer. For the kids -with endless energy- there are both planned activities and ready access to all sorts of things to prevent boredom. All sorts of water toys and playmates and a variety of land games too. For the adults, it's a genuine place to unwind. Ample opportunities to share in the adventure, as a family or on your own. From planned things (closest to the pin, waterslide) to spontaneous (grab a kayak and explore the lake). Or take your favorite book and rotate between your porch, the deck, and the lawn. The cabins are simple and relaxing, and it's nice to fall asleep in the afternoon to gentle waves. Even the wifi has been upgraded in the past few years for those pesky moments when you need it. Meals are held in a dining hall with servers. The food's not amazing but usually fits the bill after a day in the sun. Timing is never strict. What this place is not: a luxury resort with catering staff. If you're expecting St Regis of the Woods, reset. The amenities are from a bygone era, the staff is exceptionally polite but aren't here to run drink orders, and the grounds are simple but not overdone. You won't find TVs or a high-class cafe, nor room service and gourmet cuisine. You will find time to actually take a break and recharge. Honestly, it's hard to think of how Fair Hills could improve. Sure, the cabins could use some updating (though I suspect a massive capital cost). And it'd be nice for places a bit nicer for adults to congregate, maybe stocked with some beer (most common spaces are kid-friendly, and so not too comfortable). But the easiest thing would probably be an upgrade to the coffee, which for a San Francisco snob always leaves me hanging.

We were here for an extended weekend/wedding. I can't say enough good things about it. The staff…read morewas incredibly accommodating, patient, and welcoming - they treated all 130 wedding partiers as valued guests. Their range of activities kept us busy for three days, including all kinds of water sports (kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, paddle boating, sailing, fishing), bikes (for a fee), golfing, golf carts (for a fee), bonfires, pool/hottub, deck over the lake and deliciousssss breakfast. The wedding, of course, was gorgeous. The resort was perfect for the ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing. The food for all of the above was consistently yummy. They basically put the entire place at the disposal of the wedding party, and it was so. much. fun. I rave, but I mean every word. One note - it is very family friendly/laid back, so give them a little while to wander in and help you if you're checking in late. When we arrived, they were practicing singing in the ballroom (oh yeah, many of the employees are from Europe, so they sing to practice their English). And, you may have to drive around for awhile to find the main lodge, as there are no signs. I can't even say how wonderful it was. Perfect weekend there.

I golf there every summer with friends in a scramble tournament and the Forest Hills is always a good host, and you can tell they truly appreciate the business.

There is also a small mini golf course and ice cream shop adjacent to the parking lot.
