Minnesota Lodging Options

Choose a Hotel, A Cabin or A Bed and Breakfast

If you visit Minnesota in the summer months, it is wise to make reservations well in advance. After you decide what you want to do when you visit Minnesota, your next decision is about where to stay. Minnesota has a multitude of lodging options that include high end hotels, rustic cabins, romantic bed-and-breakfasts, hostels, campgrounds, RV parks and even houseboats!

All Minnesota lodging is in high demand during peak tourist season. This is especially true on the North Shore where both state residents and visitors congregate in the towns and state parks along the shore for festivals, leaf looking and to enjoy the natural beauty of our "inland sea."

A vacation "up north" is a Minnesota tradition for those of us who live in the state. Those who don't own a cabin on a lake choose their favorite resort or bed-and-breakfast as "their" place and return year after year.

Your Minnesota vacation may be focused on the culture, attractions and events in the Twin Cities or other larger cities. Every part of the state offers quality lodging options that include all of the major hotel and motel chains. Smaller, family-run hotels and motels are not as common as they once were but these often offer a unique Minnesota experience.
When you make your reservations, expect, and ask about, all of the usual amenities including a continental breakfast, whirlpools and swimming pools, themed rooms and more. Check your hotel's ratings with AAA or other rating services. If you are a senior, be sure to ask for a discount or use your AARP membership to get a lower rate.

A cabin or resort may be just what you want for your Minnesota experience. You will find that almost every lake of any size has cabins and resorts on its shores. Some of these are magnificent lodges and massive cabins large enough to host a family reunion. Other places offer just what you want for an intimate romantic getaways.

Some resorts or individual cabins maintain their rustic "back to the fifties" simplicity and are much as they were when they were first built.

There are fishing lodges, resorts that specialize in family activities, cabins that offer a rustic, wilderness experience, and getaways that cater to the romantics. You will find that some things are "standard." Almost all cabins and resorts will be on a lake or river and will include access to a boat or pontoon.
