A serene pocket of Minnesota woodland garden, a delightful retreat suited to comfort and contemplation, this temple/spa served us as a hop-off point for nearby state parks alive with birds--trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, eagles, pileated woodpeckers, orioles, bluebirds, and at least seven kinds of warblers. Enjoyed the walkway into town as well, but I have to say this place encouraged us to live more by doing less, though next time we may have to rent bikes and take advantage of the many routes through hill and dale.
