    Group dinner in Afton MN for a conference. The Inn is quaint has a lot of character and is located in a historic area. We were in the room off the lobby and had a buffet of various meats and veggies arranged by the kitchen. It was your classic hotel buffet, the food was food, service solid and a fun place to host a group. Challenges are the bathrooms through the bar and a bit of an old hotel smell.

    Easter brunch buffet...are you kidding me?

    I was hoping to have a nice Easter brunch with my family, and Afton House Inn kept on coming up on several lists of popular holiday brunches. I was also impressed with the large selection of gluten-free dishes, so we made the 30 minute drive from the Twin Cities. Although some of the food items on the buffet were pretty decent, this was honestly one of the tackiest buffets I've ever seen. Most things were served in plastic containers, and all of their baked goods looked like they came from a box. The plastic trays of cheese and crackers and fruit were honestly embarrassing. As mentioned in other reviews, the buffet gets picked over very quickly, and they do nothing to make it look presentable again. If you are looking for a nice holiday, brunch buffet, this is not the place.

    A great trip, we booked this hotel two months ago, the staff who answered the phone were very patient and attentive, and even better when we Arrived , such a warm and homely hotel, everyone very friendly, the rooms were clean and tidy, victorian decor, bathtub are great ! the chef Sam amazing, the waitress are very considerate, The Manager Sara is an amazing angel, she lives in the city and needs to drive an hour to work every day, but she loves work here because of the hotel's owner is a very empathetic nice people , God blessing , we will be back.

    We checked into the room and filled the sauna with water. I got in and turned on the jets. I was immediately covered in what the manager later said was iron from the pipes. There was what looked like frosting smeared on the wall and across a picture frame. The room had a faint sewer. We were given a new room. We filled the sauna half way into filling it we ran out of hot water which of course made for a Luke warm experience and no hot water for a shower afterwards. In the morning there were bugs in the shower. Not what I expected at this price point and was a real negative experience for our anniversary

    BED BUGS & VERY Poor Management Response…read more My husband, our 2-year-old daughter, and I stayed here for a wedding from 9/19-9/21. My sister and her boyfriend stayed in the room across the hall. I'm sharing our direct experience so others can make an informed decision. The first night was uneventful, though our room had a strange smell and didn't feel very clean. We stayed because of the wedding. The night after we checked out, I found multiple bites all over my daughter's back. They became swollen and painful enough that she needed steroids. Around the same time, my sister--who was still in her room--found a live bug. She physically brought it to the front desk, and staff saw it and acknowledged it was a bug. I later noticed I also had several bites on my chest. We immediately began trying to reach the manager, Sanjay. For weeks, neither my sister nor I could get a call back. Staff repeatedly told us he was out of town. I finally reached him well over two weeks later. When we finally spoke, I felt he was dismissive and unprofessional, even when discussing our toddler's medical treatment. He refused a full refund--in fact, we never received any refund at all--despite the situation and the expenses we paid afterward (medical, hot-drying/ruining clothes, and hiring a detection dog to check our home and car). He also asked for my daughter's medical records, which I was not comfortable providing due to privacy. My husband later called, and that conversation also became extremely defensive. The manager claimed the bug my sister brought to the front desk was "a wood chip," even though she had watched it moving and the staff had already seen it and agreed with it being a bed bug. He repeatedly referred to my husband as "your lawyer husband," which came across as rude and unprofessional. I was also told that the health department had been contacted. When I called them myself, I was told they were not and haven't been notified at that time (this was nearly a MONTH later). They eventually checked only the rooms we stayed in--and that was about a month after our stay. When I spoke to Tammy the employee at the desk 3 days later, they had no record of any issue and the room was still open... which is highly concerning. At that point, we refused further direct communication with the manager and worked only through corporate. Even corporate staff expressed they were surprised that a refund hadn't been offered. Instead, we were eventually told we were placed on a "do not stay" list. Honestly, that's fine--after this experience, I would never return. This situation cost our family close to $1,000, not including the stress and worry over our toddler's reaction to the bites. And we never received any refund of any kind. I waited to write this until I had cooled down so I could be clear and factual. I can only speak to our firsthand experience, but based on that experience, I personally would not stay here again and strongly encourage others to use caution. I see another recent review also stated bed bugs were found (and that was not from my sister or her boyfriend), so we are not the only ones experiencing this. Please use caution when staying.

    Kinni Lodge is an adorable bed & breakfast/cabin. It has three rooms to rent with a shared full…read morekitchen and living room. There is a hot tub and grilling area. Each room has a closet, fireplace, tv, dvd player, and bathroom. All doors lock with your room key for privacy and security. Every morning there is breakfast prepared; muffins and cinnamon rolls, english muffins, fruit, juice, coffee, tea, etc. It has a full kitchen. The lodge is off the river and only blocks from downtown. It allows everything (or a lot at least) to be within walking distance. I highly recommend this place for a place to stay. Much better than a hotel with a great amount of character. When you set up reservations make sure to ask about payment. It was cash only so clarify upon reservation.

    When my kids were younger I booked a trip down the Kinni with this outfitter. 2 adults, one 7 year…read moreold and one 9 year old. I requested 2 person kayaks since my kids had never kayaked and my daughter was scared. They told me this would not be a problem. We got to the outfitter 15 minutes prior to our scheduled time. I confirmed 2 person kayaks were necessary. Paige said that she loaded the one person kayaks and since they were already in the trailer - she wasn't going to take them off. I asked several times and she refused. She told me the kids would be fine. It was the worst experience ever. My kids were frustrated and hate kayaking to this day. I have heard from others that she does not have patience for kids so be aware if you are thinking of using this outfitter for anyone under 18. Also, This summer I booked with River Guide Kayaks. Totally different experience.

    Horrible experience here…read more.. Staying with my partner and 2 kids. Stayed here for the last night of our mini vacation. We reserved the outdoor adventure room for 1 night (large bed for us, a loft bunk bed with couch pull out bed for the kids.). We had called twice to confirm reservation and were reassured reservation was confirmed and told no confirmation number would be needed both times. We arrive and they take us to a room and it's a king jacuzzi suite...1 king bed and nothing for the kids...we go back to front desk and are given new keys to the room we had reserved and go to the adventure room. We get to the adventure room and it hasn't been cleaned at all... dirty sheets, unmade beds, dirty towels all over bathroom, trash cans full and trash on tables. We go back to front desk. Again she apologizes and tells us there are no other clean rooms and no one there to clean any...so we HAVE to use the king suite and she gives us a cot for 1 of the kids (the younger slept with us in the king bed). She did at least comp the room. We go back to the king suite and find a toilet seat that is very old to the point that it's peeling off the upper layers and just looks overall unappealing. There is also a massive turd floating in the toilet. Again we go to the front desk and again apologies and the promise that management will hear how poorly housekeeping has been performing. During the night our toilet overflows and soaks the items that were in the bathroom. When we get up and let the gentleman working front desk know the newest update, we get the usual... I will say that both people we spoke with were very nice and did the best you could really expect considering the circumstances/issues. The kids enjoyed the pool area as well but there was very limited seating around the pool with more than 1 family being there at once. It was also a bit concerning that there was a broken window around the pool area that was taped Extremely disappointing end to our vacation. Would not recommend to anyone. We will never be back.
