1. Country Lodge inn

17.8 km from Root River

"The hotel is in a small town not far from Decorah Iowa, and Lanesboro MN. I chose the hotel because of location to the local caves. Checkin experience was excellent. I had a nice room upgrade to a larger King room that had a kitchenette. I found the space to be very clean, although the hotel can use some updating. For a small town hotel, this was a good choice. There are a few attractions nearby, though not a lot."

Top Root River Hotel Reviews

Green Gables Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying in the proprietor’s house! Beautiful and very clean! The bike shed was also nice to keep our bikes locked up. We didn’t care for the plastic pillow coverings on the bed because they were not very comfortable to sleep on. We would recommend Green Gables as a great place to stay!"

The Wen Inn formerly Andor Wenneson

10/10 Excellent

"Or hostess, Marg, was so friendly and helpful and made delicious breakfasts for us. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch of this lovely property during the early morning and evenings. We were visiting while biking the lovely root river trail in the area. It was nice to be able to store our bikes in the garage at the end of each day. Our accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the skylights were a bonus. We hope to visit again."

Heritage hideaway-Secluded Log Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful, private cabin in between open farmlands with a stunning view of the valley below. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds comfortable, and if needed the wifi was excellent. Great bike paths near as well. Hosts were communicative and accommodating, with very quick responses to any questions that may arise. Next-door farm sells quality meat and will deliver. Endless firewood for guest use. I would stay here again without a doubt!"

Country School Guest House, New Construction

10/10 Excellent

"We heartily enjoyed our stay with Andrea! She is a wonderful host. We forgot to bring eggs and she gave us a dozen fresh ones from her chickens. It's been a long time since we had farm eggs and these tasted fantastic. Her two Great Pyrenees pups, Kadi and Marco, were adorable. I only saw one donkey and two cats, but I understand there were more!The bunkhouse was beautiful. We loved all the incredible accents, old tools/equipment, and photos of your Amish neighbors. We kept finding new things over the five days of our stay. We were able to identify some of the old tools, but not all! There is a cool spiral staircase to the loft. We're both short and bumped our heads a couple times in the loft :) The bed was very confortable and we appreciated the fan.We had no trouble finding it. Google maps took us right there. We highly recommend staying here and plan to do so next year!"

Quaint home with large yard, pet friendly, bike storage right off the trailhead

8/10 Good

"Off street parking not ideal. Confusing directions re: whether we could park behind house. Postal service employees said absolutely no parking for us there. Not easy to find street parking close by. Most spots taken."

Root River Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The Root River Retreat was a very comfortable place to stay. From the welcoming of homebaked cookies to the comfort of the couch and bed, this place was a great home base for our visit with family in SE Minnesota. Great location and convenient to find. Parking was easy with a dedicated driveway space. Garage to store things if needed during your stay. Kitchenette had enough for us to function well. Would stay again and would recommend for others."
