We read where it said " Campsites are not guaranteed" but when we arrived, the campsite we booked was still open.We could understand if the policy was utilized because something happened to the site, but it seems they leave it open as a bait and switch .Later in the day, someone with a huge RV was put in our original campsite. We weren't there more than a half an hour when a domestic broke out and the F-bomb and screaming started right in front of their toddlers. It was like being in a " red neck trailer park! " If they won't give you the site you want and book, that option should be eliminated on their website and it should say " We will put you in a site we feel like putting you in." But of course that won't happen, they leave the good sites open to lure you in then put you way far from the lake. We were very disappointed in this "trailer park."

We came back from an afternoon of fishing and my mother's suitcase and jewlery case had been gone through and she was missing $100.00 out of her purse. My purse was also gone through and I am missing $200.00. The cabin was locked and also the windows were closed and locked when we left. We have been calling the local Sheriff and are being told there is nothing they are able to do. We have called Annie the resort management and she will not answer or return our calls. Also the swimming area is so full of seaweed and was green you couldn't swim. The cabin was small and I had to move my bed to shut the door, and you had to side shuffle to get around the bed. Very bad experience at Midway Beach Resort.

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.]

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!
