Thumper Pond is in need of a big refresh, from worn carpets and furniture to shiny quilted bed covers. It all needs to be replaced. If can you ignore that & just want a place to entertain your family and kids it does offer those opportunities. Check-in was late at night. I left my gloves at the front desk when... More

We booked our rooms months in advance with a savecoin deal. We booked two connecting rooms, but upon our arrival, there were no connecting rooms. Slight inconvenience. Also, it was the weekend of Henning, MN prom and it was apparently happening at the hotel. Again, slight inconvenience. The rooms are large - we fit 2 adults, 2 teens, and 1... More

The area is amazing in the summer and winter. The golfing is the best around and so challenging! The water park keeps the kids laughing and having fun- and the local lakes large and small are perfect for all water activity! From fishing to skiing and jumping huge waves on my waverunner! The local establishments are awesome and fun! Thumperpond... More

This place is a very reasonable family destination. It has everything you could want, a great hotel, fun water park for the children, and a great restaurant all in the same building. The only complaint I would have is the hot tub gets a little over crowded at times but other than that the place is very nice.

The rooms were quite sizable, and allowed for a large group to congregate and talk. Obviously the draw of this resort, at least in the winter, is the water park. The Park has two large slides, a small lazy river, large hot-tub, and smaller annex of a pool with two basketball hoops. For the 5 and under set, they have... More

We stayed at this hotel for friends wedding. The rooms were not decorated like a fancy resort but more kid friendly. The rooms were clean. The only issue I had was a broken blow dryer that never got fixed. Other than that the staff was helpful, I needed bobby pins and the salon was very accommodating with my bobby pins.... More
