great views but lacking in some amenities

The views of the lake truly took my breath away. The coffee shop next door served some of the best coffee I've had in a long time! Tim's hospitality made me feel genuinely welcome during my stay.

While the overall experience was nice, I expected more from the available amenities.

easy access to parks and local dining spots makes it great

I had a really enjoyable stay, especially since I was just a few steps away from the beach and had a great time strolling through the nearby parks, which offered lovely views, and I loved that there were great food options like Zorbaz just around the corner for a quick bite after exploring the area.

Had a fab time at Lakes Inn! The outdoor dining area gave off such a chill vibe, perfect for enjoying coffee from the shop right across the lot. And don’t get me started on the amazing views of the lake. I could sit out front all day! Plus, Tim was just awesome with the details and the warm welcome.

I was hoping for a lake view right from my room, but I guess that’s on me! You can see it from the chairs outside the door, though next time I’m bringing my own beach chairs for the stroll to the sand.

The Double Room was super comfy and had these cute touches that made it feel homey. The kitchen area was nice and well equipped, which was a plus. You also got amazing views of the lake right outside. The refurbishments made the room feel modern, but still cozy. Just wish there was a better view directly from the room itself!

Had a fantastic stay! The room was super clean and well-appointed, and I loved the kitchen area for its homey vibe, although I did wish the view from the room was better.

Staying here with the kids was fantastic! We loved the nearby interactive activities—like family-friendly film events that kept everyone engaged. The relaxed vibe made it easy for us to unwind while the little ones explored their surroundings happily.

My kids wished there was a more dedicated play area.

It was just a commendable fit for taking strolls in Detroit Lakes with decent value for money. The deck in front of the coffee shop made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the lake view. Bring your own beach chairs for a better view near the water.
