"We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!"

"Great property and enjoyed amenities."

"The accommodations in the “Eagles Nest” were perfectly fine for our 2 night stay. If we go again we would try to get one of the cabins for a more secluded stay as they are a little bit away from the lodge vs staying in the lodges. Overall the property and room were very quiet, the owners were very nice and it was perfect for seeing the Black Bears in Orr, MN."

"We spent an awesome few days at Elbow Lake. We loved being right on the lake with beach access. My boys LOVED the kayaks and paddle boat!"

"Shady Hollow deserves an easy 5 star rating. My husband and I stayed with our 5 children aged 1-8, and it was perfect. We all enjoyed the beach, beautiful lake view, swimming, paddle boards, fishing, pedal boat and kayaks, which was included in the cost. The lake was shallow enough for our kids to play safely and there were plenty of toys on the beach for them to use and build sand castles. Our kids loved going to the office to get a treat and talk to Diana, who was so accommodating. We did...

"Had a lot of fun Watching Brian get rid of an odorous bucket of fish parts was very entertaining."

"Lots of things to do and easily can have boat there."

"Great space, had everything we needed in kitchen and bathrooms. SUPER comfortable beds! The road traffic was a little loud because of the location but overall it was perfect."

"Very nice! Clean, comfortable, great place to have a wonderful family Christmas event. I would highly recommend this venue!"

"Everything under one roof. Restaurant, bar, pool, hot tub, lodging. Awesome customer service. Beautiful views. The food was excellent. "

"Our stay was great. The only thing that would have made it perfect was being able to see the Northern Lights. But that wasn’t under anyone’s control. Loved our stay!!!"

"Beautiful property, clean and updated and wonderful service"

"Housekeeping wasn't the best. However, front desk went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. We will certainly return and recommend Gladdens to anyone!"

"We loved the paddleboards, kayaks, floating dock, and pontoon. So many fun things to do on the lake. The fishing was good. It was fun to see the turtles too. The deck off our cabin was wonderful to sit on anytime of day, the spaciousness of our cabin was perfect for our family of 5. Our kids all had their own room. The full kitchen made it super easy to make our own meals. My only suggestion would be for more comfortable indoor chairs to sit on, maybe updated beds and bedding, curtains. The...

"The staff was amazing. Thank you!Q"

"The property is well maintained. We stayed in a non smoking room, but there was a hint of cigarette smoke, either from the sheets or from the history. They don’t allow guests to bring their own alcohol to their rooms. I found this to be very odd and inconvenient. There isn’t much to do within walking distance unless you enjoy sub par dining and slot machines. They didn’t have a poker room and they are supposed to be a casino. The pool was the highlight of the stay. "

"Very fun for children and a good room. But the only con is they nickel and dime you to death. Parking is 15 bucks when you get there and from then on every little thing is overcharging you. Even at the pool they charge you 15 dollars if you don’t bring your towel back and they aren’t the most attentive so I’m sure people are getting charged a lot even if they do bring it back. Beer and other drinks such as Gatorade are so grosly overpriced it was actually embarrassing "

"Off season stay at resort, not many staff there. "

"I loved the view we had out our Window. I wasn't crazy about how the floors creaked whenever a person above us walked around.Everytime someone walked around at midnight and later it woke me up. I thought someone was in our room "

"Staff very helpful. Would definitely stay again. The property is beautiful. Would love to see it in the summer."
