I'm a bit of a glamping kind of lady and the cabins at Cedar Shores are log homes away from home. Everything was clean and even the comforters were freshly laundered. Our family stayed in cabin #6 and it has a beautiful deck with a fantastic view and direct access to the beach. They supplied the water toys to include kayaks and canoes. The beach was cleaned every morning by Louis, one of the family proprietors. If we needed anything, Juanita or Louis was right there for us. They care about their guests and give their property TLC. We hope to spend many more weeks in late summer at Cedar Shores!

Great fishing (off the bridge), swimming, and relaxed vibe. We'll be back. The campground is very family-oriented with a strong sense of tradition. Sites are well maintained, and the lake access is excellent for swimming, boating, and fishing. It's not a resort-style campground, but a simple, peaceful place to enjoy the lake and spend time outdoors.

Yes, it's $48 a night but we've spent more at a crappy RV park where you're given nothing but a concrete slab. The sites are big and private.

We stayed for four days and were so pleased with our Suite providing us excellent views, even in frozen winter. Chris was an excellent host making us the most delicious breakfasts every morning. This is an architecturally unique place with gorgeous views and all types of rooms to relax, filled with thoughtful amenities. We got to tour many of the rooms all with private baths and nicely well done. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite- a romantic suite equipped with a double Jacuzzi and a two-person shower. It's so convenient on the (frozen) waters edge walking distance to downtown and dozens of restaurants. We walked to many of the restaurants. Thank you Chris for helping to make our 'pearl' anniversary at the Red Bridge Inn in Parks Rapids so special.

Not sure how I haven't written a review of the red bridge inn…read more If you've stayed in park rapids hotels the choices are very limited. I'm here every few months. One of my coworkers stumbled on the red bridge (it's on the hiking trail system) and we have all made it our place to stay when in town for the last several years. Rooms are clean. I travel too much and that's important. Fairly good size. Well equipped with bathrooms etc. They are all different. It's a B&B with the hosts living off site which is not the norm. That makes it quiet!!! There are 7 rooms. The inn itself is on the river. Beautiful setting. Breakfast is what you want. I like a full breakfast. Bam. Friends like toast. What kind? I've seen folks get everything from 'just coffee' to a bowl of fruit or cereal. Just the way it should be Common areas are great. Large deck on the river. Large dining area- tables etc as well as a separate room with tables etc I suspect for meetings and groups. There's an area with couches and tv if that's your fancy. The deck is equipped with grills and a dock - it's on the river and they do rent boats. There's a hot tub. This is not a 5 star hotel. It is a clean well run place to stay wether on vacation or travel for work. 5 stars for me!!

There are specialty shops and one of the largest walk/run/bike trails around, Heartland Trail. I was only able to do 10 miles of it, but with different starting points there is always something new to see. Do bring your deet in the summer months as the state bird, the mosquito, is always present. You will also be close to the start of the Mississippi River, which you can walk across. I would recommend this resort and location for families or couples looking for an affordable getaway which is a steal.

The room is rectangle in shape and the only overhead light is at the end where the clothes rack is. The shower is kind of cheap and not comfortable to move in. I love how the TV actually shows you what you are watching, a first. I love the outer decor and how it's only 2 stories and everything is so close. It's fancier in MT but still nice. Because of the layout rooms are in close proximity and I think some little kid was trying the door next to the TV. It almost would have been worth it if they got in and saw us. Also check your door at the end that goes into the hall. Ours wasn't locked. The folks at the desk were great. If you can take a super soft mattress and average shower, do stay here.

Although…read moreI've previously experienced only one other MN resort, I can confidently share a very satisfied report about Resort Content. My family members filled up four of the seven housekeeping cabins, which are quite modern, very clean, and well-equipped--especially kitchen-wise. The owners are friendly (former school teachers! ) and available with scheduled office hours. I appreciate their commitment to composting and recycling, and they make participating in these efforts very easy. Lake Belle Taine itself is lovely, and the very affordable pontoon boat rental allowed a relaxing lake cruise that was a highlight of my vacation. I enjoyed the outdoor movie night. Other members of my family took advantage of additional activities: fishing boat rental; fishing from boats and multiple docks; using kayaks, the two-person paddle boat, the canoe, and fun bugs; lake swimming; swinging in the hammock and wooden swing; playing on the beach; and enjoying the sun deck. Each cabin's outdoor grill and picnic table contributed to our fun and socializing. I hope to return to this lovely place in the future!
