5/5 - Excellent
IF in the area, would start by checking THIS motel first, before anywhere else...






Great room, clean and comfortable. The pool and spa looked great, even though we didn’t bring our suits as it was -30 out. Breakfast was pretty good: pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and gravy. Overall great value for the price, would definitely recommend.

Perfect “fishing camp” for us. Didn’t spend a ton of time on site, but plenty of space to relax when we were there. Kitchen to cook meals, and plenty of parking.

We thought the cottage was delightful and perfect for our family of 6 adults. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and patio area. We used the docks for tie up during the day and swam off of one of the boating docks when the Methodist camp kiddos were using the swim area for their activities.

It has changed since I grow up in the area.
Estherville is a very nice town. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere, it was a clean little town. My hotel experience wasn’t that great but it definetly could have been worse.
Great people and beautiful scenery.
Went on business in the middle of winter. Nice town, nice people. Didn't go to be a tourist.
Had a wedding at the Little Swan Winery, very beautiful and rustic place for a wedding.
