We stayed here in March and it was very quiet. I didn’t realize when I booked it that the bar/restaurant was closed early in the week. We stayed Tuesday-Thursday, and I believe the restaurant opened up on Thursday or Friday evening. Overall, a nice place to go relax with your family and friends. We were there on business and there was no where to go to work on my laptop, so had to drive into a coffee shop in Nisswa. Also, there was no where in our room to work either.
