★★★★Lisa DoyleWorth the the side trip. Beautiful views make this a unique and peaceful experience.
★★★★★Wyatt W. PenkeI don't know much of anything about this place, but I like this rustic chapel on the lake. The big cross across the lake caught my eye.
★★★★★Stephen - WiggI stopped in because I needed many more gallons of water to carry me over at my rustic campground nearby. Carl was more than gracious with helping me out and we swapped some great stories. The church, Mount Olivet, Lutheran Church, ELCA in Minneapolis is the one who puts on this tremendous show, celebrating 75 years.
