They are made with raw onions and when I had them, the potatoes were barely cooked and all you could taste was raw onions. They were inedible for me. When I make my homemade cheesy potatoes, I use scallions which have a milder onion flavor but are still delicious. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. We will try it again and I will revise my review if something changes.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bluefin Bay! Waking up to the sunrise over the water was such a…read morehighlight, and the beach was beautiful. The nightly s'mores were a fun touch, and the pool and hot tub were relaxing, with a pretty walkway leading to them. Our room was comfortable, with cozy beds and extra bedding, which we appreciated. We loved that the main lodge had hot coffee and ice water available - as well as games and loves to check out! That said, the exterior is starting to show some age, with weeds throughout the grounds and overgrown bushes making the sidewalks feel crowded. A window on our room was broken and the indoor pool was out of commission. While the activities are a great perk, one was full before I could attend, and the yoga class I signed up for didn't have an instructor show up. Overall though, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay and I'd happily come back again!

We had an amazing visit in the middle of cold MN winter. But the hospitality and cabin were 100%…read morewarm and cozy. Our cabin was spotless, bedding super comfy, beautiful view, and fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, and lounging areas. The only challenge for us, if at all, was our wimpy vehicle didn't do well on slippery spots. But our hosts were super helpful and totally available. They pulled us out of the snow and even provided taxi service so we could go out for a nice dinner. Sheri & Sandy really know how to make guests feel welcome. Can't wait to go back!

I found a 4 day canoe trip including all equipment and good on amazon for $200 per person (not…read moreincluding tax and park fees, which is reasonable). A friend and I decided we would go on the trip and relax from the world (no internet/data near the Canadian border), especially our jobs and just relax. Overall, it was a great experience and we had a great time. I will have to warn you though, it takes a lot of patience and helps us realize that we take a lot of things for granted. For example, washing your dishes after every meal to avoid all the bugs and wild critters that will come sniffing out your food. We heard wolves at night which I thought was cool and I wasn't scared because they were clearly on the other side of the river (which was too damn cold for us to even stand near). The one thing we were surprised to learn about is that most people get their canoe flipped over.. which can be scary because you lose everything and risk hypothermia. We did not have that issue, however, we had major issues with the wind rocking us hard (super scary..) and forcing us back and making us do more work to row our way back up. Mac and cheese was a pain to clean, but everything else was ok. Starting a fire wasn't as easy either, prob wish I brought a gallon of gasoline honestly.. haha.. Basically, it was an amazing experience, I recommend everyone try it (without your kids if you don't have any experience as they will panic and flip the canoe). We enjoyed it so much, we decided that this should be a "once in a lifetime experience" for us.

We stayed at the Towering Pines cabin and it was clean and comfortable. Even the beds were comfortable, which is one of my top priorities when traveling. Beautiful fireplace and the cabin overlooks Poplar Lake. Couldn't ask for a better spot to rejuvinate and relax. They are dog friendly (big and small dogs!). The staff were very helpful and took the time to explain and provide information. The lodge is closed during the winter months, but told us they could possibly open a cabin if we wanted to stay. Perfect place for snowshoeing and a hiker's dream. There are literally hundred of miles of trails. We saw plently of wild life and enjoyed the fresh air. If I could give them 100 stars, I would.

He did a great job on a very busy shift. He handled all our requests and provided good insight on the menu. Food was excellent (both our kids ate their full meal which is a win!) and they had a small but solid beer list. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area. Highly recommend! *of note, plan for a wait on busier nights. They have a game room and had a bonfire going and poured drinks for us while we waited. Wasn't an issue for us, but the wait was about 40min and climbing.
