Poor reviews on other platforms but we thought it was great. The camp sights had trees and brush for some privacy. It was quiet and very clean. The bath house was dated but cleaned every day. We paid $15 per night for a boat lift. The family that owns it was very friendly and helpful with fishing tips. We'd go back.

I'm not sure why it says Woodlawn Resort is closed, because it's not... just stayed there last…read moreweekend! We had very low expectations going in, but ended up being pleasantly surprised and had TONS of fun! We stayed in Cabin #5, which is the most private. We loved the location and front window view of Lake Minnewaska. Though everything was a little "dated," the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room, though we spent most of our time outside of the cabin! Firewood readily available for purchase and lots of rental options. We rented the pontoon and had a blast. Randy and Judie (the owners) are very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable cabin experience on a beautiful Minnesota lake!

We had a third grader, three sixth graders, an 8th grader, and two moms. My favorite spot was the…read moreLibrary which had card tables, a couch, comfy chairs, bathroom, walls of DVDs, books, and tons of VHS tapes, a TV and computer. I liked it because it was roomy and it felt like I was sitting on the lake with a beautiful view and we were all able to be in there together. We also enjoyed the pool. It was small but they took full advantage of it and the hot tub too. Our unit was perfectly clean and had everything we needed (microwave, oven, dishwasher, TVs with DVD and VHS) and the management was very sweet when we were in the pool too late because I thought it was an hour earlier than it was. And did I mention it was cheap because we were there off season? A great affordable spring break week!

Beautiful location and views were great! Clean unit. Parking was frustrating being we could only…read morehave 2 vehicles near our unit. Pool is very small and ideal for small children only. Wifi and cable went in and out A LOT! Owner was prompt on handling this concerns, but was a "put out" by our request and annoyed with us for asking questions. All in all, loved the views and would maybe go back.

My husband and I enjoyed our little cabin on Lake Victoria. It was steps from the shore and had…read moremany docks for fishing, tying up your boat or jumping in for a swim. The beach was shallow and great for small children who love to play in the water. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards available for guests and I even did a few bounces on the water trampoline (I had to try it!). The cabin was modern and tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed for a four day get-away. Raj was on-site, answered text messages promptly and made our stay enjoyable. I would 100% recommend Lake Victoria Resort.

I won a stay here through a magazine and got to visit Alexandria, MN…read more How great to have stayed here. It's such a cute cosy house! We stayed in the alma Anderson room. There's different rooms with different themes. I won't bury the lead of the history of the house so you can have the full experience. Brenda was super hospitable and her breakfasts were delicious. She gave really good recommendations and worked hard to make us feel at home. Great BnB for sure!

Burgen Lake Rest Area is located on I-94 heading northbound. Alexandria is north of this rest stop…read more It's basically midway between Fargo and the Twin Cities. 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.]

The resort has a homey atmosphere, a quaint (super cute) bar, a freezer with ice cream treats, boats to rent, a swimming beach, and so much more.
