Absolutely unbelievable experience with Up North Eats! They came to our Air BnB for a bachelorette…read moreweekend and exceeded all expectations. We had a full charcuterie board brought out to where we were sitting and then later met for dinner which included: Caprese Salad, Dinner Rolls (with the most insane honey cinnamon butter), Agile & Olio (shrimp pasta), Wagyu Sirloin, and a Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet Our chef and his team (Jesse, Katie & Mary) were incredibly sweet and made sure everything was communicated well and completely clean when they left. It felt very comfortable having them in the space. I honestly can't imagine a more luxury experience!

STOP LOOKING ANY FURTHER FOR A PERSONAL CHEF…read more This crew of Jesse Ruttger works like a well oiled machine. They showed up to cater a wedding reception for 20 ppl at a home on Mille Lacs Lake on time and prepared. All bright eyed and bushy tailed, the 3 of them had smiles on at all times. No time for fooling around, just cook and serve the plated meals! Professionalism. 5 Appearance. 5 Cleanliness. 5 Pace. 5 Wine Service. 5 1st visual of plate. 5 Menu presentation 5 Plate presentation. 5 Quality of food. 5 Taste of food. 5 Personality factor. 5 I particularly liked how the menu explicitly described each course. Using adjectives always worked for me too. If you can get the guests' mouth to start salivating by just painting a verbal picture of the food, you've done your job. I ate so much I couldn't even finish my freshly made chocolate chip cookie baked in a skillet With a scoop of melty vanilla ice cream. All of the portions were ginormous. No one went hungry! Using a Personal Chef like this for a special occasion is the height of elegance and ingenuity. That was a wedding meal to remember! WALLEYE FILETS WHILE ON THE SHORES OF MILLE LACS

Saturday 10/19/2019 Got a room at this motel for a 60th Wedding Anniversary & a 80th Birthday…read moreParty. This is a 3 1/2 hour drive / 220 miles one way trip. On appearance it is a very cute little motel. We checked in with another couple around 3PM. We were given room #108, which had new carpet. You could tell the beds were older and the rest of the room could use an update. We left for the party around 4:30 PM, got back to the Ripple River Motel about 9:15 PM. Crawled into bed about 9:30 PM and made a phone call to our daughter. With the light from my cell phone I happened to catch a bug crawling on my pillow case. When I smashed the bug it was full of blood. It was big enough to see. When we jumped out of the bed and turned the lights on the bed had at least 50 bugs we could see. I took pictures and called the front desk to let them know the bed was infested. We also told her we would be checking out, as would the other couple (3 1/2 Hour drive back home). The front desk manager refunded our money immediately. She also apologized up and down. She told us to come back in a month and the room would be perfect. We have thrown away our luggage & clothes. BEWARE!!
