The studio is spacious so there's no need to worry about bumping elbow with the person next to you. There is plenty of light throughout the studio and the acoustics are good- no echoing or tile clanging. I've been here twice and the people I've brought with me have also enjoyed themselves. I love the varied mediums this studio has to offer- canvas, wood, etc. Overall, this place gets 5-stars from me!

Set on beautiful Lake Koronis outside of Paynesville, MN, is BugBee Hive Resort. We have been…read moregoing to this resort with my in-laws every year for the past 30 years . We stay a week at a time. That is how much we love it! It's not perfect but where is? Staff are very friendly and helpful and are readily available throughout the day. Cabins vary in size and age. Some are very rustic and dated. Some are quite new and updated. Cabin prices for the week (Saturday to Saturday) are pretty steep in my opinion. There are definitely no deals to be found; not even for loyal, returning customers. Many of the cabins are pet free, unfortunately. Many cabins need some work on the inside to keep things in working order. Pool is very nice. Very beautiful lake. You can rent a very nice pontoon for the day or week. This year we had to compete with COVID19 and new construction as they are completing two new homes (4 cabins in total) so everyday we awoke to construction trucks and equipment. Not particularly restful or idyllic. Pool did not open until our last 2 days of our vacation (due to COVID19)which was a bummer for the kids. Also, for the prices you pay, you still have to bring your own towels and toilet paper. I think they provide you with 2 rolls to start with. Also, all of your own things like dish soap, paper towels, etc. you will need to provide yourself. kitchens have some basic utensils. Most annoying issue is the poor WiFi reception. This is an issue for those of us who need to remain connected even when away on vacation. I do hope this gets fixed. It does not seem to be a priority to them, however. The coverage is sporadic and slow at best. Thank goodness for cellular hotspots! Water in the cabins can be smelly due to sulfur. The resort is not particularly handicapped accessible as getting around can be difficult. The resort has a lot of steps in some areas and not all cabins are zero entry. Also the resort is set up from the lake. Every cabin has a charcoal grill to use. They also have a fire pit at the resort but when it is going the cabins can smell pretty smoky depending upon which way the wind is blowing. This is a great place for family reunions and general family get togethers. Highly recommend. Only downside is the cost. Overall, would rate this place 4 out of 5 stars. Again, not perfect but pretty darn close. Please consider a loyalty customer discount. God willing, see you next year!

I showed up around 6:30 PM on Feb 3. I was given a key to a room. First thing I noticed was that the room was small, dingy and COLD. The radiator was on but could not be adjusted by the occupant. The second thing was that the tv did not work. Went and complained and was given another room, The condition of the room was the same. The room did not have a remote but the remote worked from the first room. But the tv was not hooked up and not recieivng signals. I could live without the tv. I went to take a shower and after 5 minutes there was no hot water. That was it, I returned the key and the manager apologized. Whoopee when Expedia contacted the motel they did not want to return my money. Contacting Hutchinson Chamber of Coomerce, Better Business Bureau and the Minnesota state department that handles this issue.

Went to Thayer on a Friday night, it wasn't terribly busy. Upon arrival, I was very bummed it was…read moreraining because the patio seating looked lovely. We sat inside and the decor was dated and a dingy. There was also food smeared on the wall near our table, and the tablecloths were noticeably sticky. The drinks were decent. I ordered an Irish coffee, which was well-made and enjoyable. Things went downhill once we ordered food. I asked our waitress for a recommendation between the walleye and the salmon. She said, "Well, I'm partial to fish so I would say the walleye." I did order the walleye but the dish came out cold and lacked flavor. To top it off, it was served on a plastic, fish-shaped plate--not what you'd expect for a $22 entrée. My husband ordered the steak and shrimp with mashed potatoes. When his meal arrived, the potatoes were missing. He let the waitress know, but after waiting 15 minutes with no sign of them, he asked to cancel the side. Even after our entire party had finished eating, the waitress didn't come back for another 15 minutes. We asked for the check, and still had to wait another 10 minutes before she returned--without the bill. Overall, the service was slow and inattentive, and the food was mediocre at best. While the drinks were okay, it wasn't nearly enough to make up for the rest of the experience. For the price, we definitely expected better. We will not be returning.
