Top River Bend Nature Center Hotel Reviews

Boarders Inn & Suites by Cobblestone Hotels - Faribault

8/10 Good

"My wife and I arrived around 1130am on a Thursday. We would be riding our bicycles on the trails that run along the Straight River. Our plan was to park in the hotel parking lot and spend the day touring the trails, then check in later in the day. The front desk person, Ashe, greeted us in a professional and friendly manner. After hearing about our plans, Ashe told us our room was ready and we could check in immediately and use our room if necessary. That was a WOW for me and my wife. She wanted to change clothes and this would work great for her. Our room was clean and spacious. The upholstery is dated but our intentions were to be outside and not spending a lot of time in our room. We did have a fireplace however it was out of order. The whirlpool in the room was very nice! Having that to use after long day of biking was a special treat. Because of that feature, we did not use the pool or the hot tub although that area looked very clean and inviting. The free breakfast included all the usual continetal breakfast options as well as fresh bacon and small taco omelettes. It was perfect for our needs before starting another day of bike trail riding."

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!"
