For those with four-legged, fluffy companions, there was a right fancy pet exercise area with a trail headed into the woods! Good info on Minnesota's scenic byways nearby, for those who enjoy seeing the sights from the comfort of their vehicle. I, of course, was headed for state parks up north. Vending machines were available with both beverages and snacks inside. Only complaint I have is the lack of a water bottle refill station. They had standard water fountains that you can awkwardly try to tip your bottle to get the stream of water to land inside but only manage to get it halfway full. D; There was an info placard about historical lumbering in the area, cuz learning is cool!

It's a nice spot to get your rest in before you're looking out for deer and other wildlife on the roads. The rest area has restrooms, a water fountain, covered picnic tables, a play area and a dog walking area. There is a lot of parking and staying overnight is not prohibited.

I spent about an hour here taking a nap. It's quite despite being near the roadway and only one other car came and went while I was here. Overnight parking is not permitted but I can't imagine they will chase you back onto the road if you're truly tired. There is a small walkway with stairs that leads down to the riverside. If you're going to walk it, bring a friend. There are all sorts of wildlife around here. [Review 17887 overall - 107 in Minnesota - 1408 of 2022.]

I had a slight problem with card reader and had to repress buttons when a friendly employee popped out the door asking if I needed help. "Nope, figured it out myself".

If there were more of these around I would probably pick them over other marts.

Ashley was kind and very courteous. Smiled and said hello the minute I walked through the door.

I admit that looked really bad so i was afraid of what the room would be like and my wife and I enjoyed our stay there. We would book another room there, no problem. It was also affordable.
