The lobby area is welcoming and fits the woodsy/cabin theme with some cute deor. Our room was spotless and so cute. It was a fishing theme and felt so cozy. It was quiet overnight. The extra little bar sink outside the bathroom is a thoughtful addition (as is the mirror.) Our room looked out to the back with the river in sight. Lots of early morning fisherman parked in the lot but we didn't hear a thing. The bathroom was a good size and sparkling clean. Cute shower curtain with a dock/lake on it! Breakfast was serve yourself and they had a good assortment of bagels/english muffins/cereal/oatmeal/waffles. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa and milk (& maybe juice? I'm not a juice drinker). There is a pool as well as a conference center here too. They had a fireplace in the lobby plus some seating and games/books. It would be a good spot for sit if you wanted to be out of the room We'll be back to this little gem!

Up front I need to say we travel with two dogs, about 30 pounds each, mostly well behaved but, you…read moreknow, we are accustomed and happy to stay in more basic hotels that are dog friendly. That's what I expected here. But no. This treasure of a roadside inn is clean and comfortable, with an open, welcoming lobby and sitting/dining area, and each room is designed with a unique theme (we stayed in the "Music Notes" room flanked by other rooms such as "Lighthouse," "The Lodge," and "Ooh, La, La Paris.") Our music-themed room was adorned with a drum pendant light, guitars, artwork, etc., which inspired us to really look at and appreciate this space. And you know how hotels that care crisply fold the edge of the toilet paper roll? This place (in a first for me) folds edges into a rose. How cute is that? Pre-dogs, we used to stay at fine hotels, but The Four Seasons can't match this place for thoughtfulness and detail, dollar for dollar. One final note to travelers with dogs: green spaces along the River and a small neighboring park (Lions) offer a welcomed end-of-a-long drive romp for the dogs.

I received a missed call from one of the florists, and I called back a couple minutes later.

She was so understanding and I felt horrible for the inconvenience! Cold Spring Floral has great flowers and service, and I am so thankful for her help!

However, it is an hour drive from the Twin Cities metro area. I loved the outdoor area for the wedding ceremony, followed by champagne in the reception hall and then dinner and dance in an adjacent dining hall.

I recently attended a wedding at this venue. It was a gorgeous place. Unfortunately the staff makes…read moreit difficult to leave a 5 star review. The staff on clean up crew was unfriendly. They began to clean up before 9, even though the dance went until 10:30. They took down decorations, tables and chairs to the point that there wasn't even a place for people to sit that weren't dancing. They moved people's stuff around to other places so they could take tables down which made it difficult for people to find their things. Less than a minute after the dance ended, they began to shut off the lights. Due to the fact we felt we were being pushed out, I wouldn't recommend this place
