I wish I'd found it on the first day! The coffee shop is adorable, clean, and has side rooms for meetings or Bible studies. The barista was friendly and the service was quick. I ordered a mocha and it was way better than Starbucks and less expensive. They had multiple options and food which I did not try. If I've ever back in the area. This will be my go to coffee spot.

Unlike the harsh or bitter flavor you often find elsewhere, the coffee here is smooth, balanced, and enjoyable. If you're looking for a quiet place to work, meet, or simply enjoy a great cup of coffee, I highly recommend this coffee shop!

Our family of six spent a totally enjoyable four-plus hours this past Sunday at Jerry Hiltner's Vintage Village Antiques in rural Osakis, Minnesota (population 1,750). "Rural" takes on new meaning out here on the dirt roads of northwestern Minnesota where the only facilities on this site are a pair of outhouses. Jerry offers tours and field trips of the "Village" by appointment 7 days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pre-scheduled visits for small groups include a Thanksgiving-like candlelight dinner for a modest fee per person. We enjoyed walking through a half dozen buildings on the property including a vintage school room, a small church, a blacksmith shop and a few vintage structures filled to the brim with interesting antiques and collectibles for sale. The highlight of our afternoon was an incredible home-cooked, family-style Chicken Dinner with all the fixins in the candle-lit dining room of the site's turn-of-the-century farmhouse. Jerry is the gregarious owner and host, as well as chief cook and bottle washer of this awesome village of vintage buildings that he relocated to this bucolic site. He is a chef with a life-long passion for antiques and all things antiquarian. Jerry's passion and good-natured love of life is immediately felt as you meet this country gentleman. After our magnificent dinner, Jerry capped off our visit by giving us a buggy ride through the fields in a vintage Amish-style carriage pulled by a smart nine year old Filly. What a day we had at the "Farm". For me, it was like stepping back in time and into a snapshot of life a hundred years ago. Thank you Jerry for your incredible Minnesotan hospitality. Without question...10 stars on a scale of 5!

We're in a fishing league with friends and this lake was our destination lake for the last event…read more We like to camp and this was the only place with openings for a camper. Poor reviews on other platforms but we thought it was great. The camp sights had trees and brush for some privacy. It was quiet and very clean. The bath house was dated but cleaned every day. We paid $15 per night for a boat lift. The family that owns it was very friendly and helpful with fishing tips. We'd go back.

We had very low expectations going in, but ended up being pleasantly surprised and had TONS of fun! We stayed in Cabin #5, which is the most private. We loved the location and front window view of Lake Minnewaska. Though everything was a little "dated," the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room, though we spent most of our time outside of the cabin! Firewood readily available for purchase and lots of rental options. We rented the pontoon and had a blast. Randy and Judie (the owners) are very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable cabin experience on a beautiful Minnesota lake!

It's a little cramped seeing as how it's more long than wide, but there's a lot of stuff for your truck and tons of souvenirs to browse.

There is a small truckers lounge with 5 private showers, and what makes them quirky is that the showers are named after truck brands (Peterbilt, Kenworth, ect). A nice place to relax.

I decided to take a break as I made my way to Winnipeg. I had no problem pulling into a parking spot. I used the women's washroom. There was a strong bleach smell. This rest stop is maintained extremely well. I liked learning about the Red River ox cart trails. It's nice when you can do a self-guided tour while you take a breather from driving. This rest area was a bit quirky when it came to the vending machines. If you are looking for a snack, the vending machine is inside the building. If you feel like a cold drink, it's located outside. I'm wondering if this outdoor machine works when it's freezing outside during a normal winter day. This year hasn't been normal weather-wise, so this beverage machine seemed to be okay when I was there. If you have a pet, there is an area for pets to stretch and play. It was a colder day when I was here. The trees and snow made this outdoor area picturesque. I'm sure that it's gorgeous during the summer. There was a picnic area that would be perfect to relax and enjoy lunch outside. I like that Minnesota rest stops invite you to submit feedback. The state has decent, nicely maintained rest stops. It was great stopping here on a sunny Sunday. (97)

The rest area has a long sweeping turn which is something I appreciate as it truly helps to slow down the cars as they come off the highway at 75 mph. There is a "front" truck parking area and the car parking in the back is accessible for trucks as well. So keep an eye out for larger vehicles coming through and give them plenty of space. Lots of greenery around, benches, picnic shelters and enough room to enjoy some peace before getting back on the road. [Review 20749 overall - 160 in Minnesota - 1731 of 2023.]

Great resort with really nice people that run it…read more We had a large cabin it slept our group of nine guys very comfortably really nice views of the lake from the cabin easy parking included good size kitchen to prep meals and lots of nice places to sit around and play board games. We also rented two ice houses and were able to get all of the bait that we needed right from the resort. The bar and restaurant is also very nice they serve a good selection of comfort fried foods that are all served hot with a smile from the manager. This is my first time here and I had a great experience even though we didn't catch a ton of fish. I'd recommend them to anyone that wants to get out fishing or just wants to have a good family or friend experience renting part of their facilities.
