Motels close to Festival Activities:
"Hospitality comes in many flavors in this land of 1,000 Grand Lakes. We're authentic American -- and Norwegian, Italian, Irish, Finnish, and German, to name just a few!
We keep things simple, like broiled walleye pike fresh from area waters, served with a wedge of lemon, and followed with blueberry pie and strong, black coffee.
We let things get carried away too, preparing fresh food with imagination -- sirloin prepared on the grill; ribs pit smoked to tenderness.
You can dine in town or on the water; traditional, laid back and rustic; or upscale, white linen tablecloth, and fine cooking. The Northwoods' penchant for good food and unique entertainment provides patrons with a versitile menu of tastes, textures, and atmosphere."
