My daughter and I stayed one night before heading into the BWCA. Beth was very accommodating. The rooms were squeaky clean with great AC.
We stay here every year! Nothing but great things to say about the Pine Ridge Motel! Couldn't ask for a better host. Thank you Beth!
We booked this as a last minute place to rest our heads the night before hopping a houseboat with my family. My fiancé needed to work remotely so we decided to make the long drive the night before. Beth was so accommodating with our late arrival, ensuring we had directions to our room, the key was left for us, and the light was on. The wi-fi wasn’t the greatest but did the trick for the few hours we needed it. The room was clean, cozy and had the essentials we needed for our quick trip. It’s also within 5 minutes from Voyagaire Houseboats which for us was incredibly convenient! We would recommend for as many nights as you need!
They made us feel right at home. I highly recommend.
Stayed in the cabin with 2 others for work and rate was great plus they helped accommodate us with an odd schedule. Cabin is wonderfully clean, spacious, and all amenities. Highly recommended for a group of people. Only thing is that this area is a bit out of the area so plan your food buying accordingly, but probably know that when traveling this far north.
One of the first things you'll notice when you pull up to the pine ridge motel is how well the entire property is kept. Beth and Trent the owners are super nice people. And then once you enter their rooms you'll be amazed at how clean , comfortable and affordable. My home away from home.
Clean and comfortable beds. Room needs a small table with 2 chairs and nightstands. There are no flat surfaces.
A wonderful place to stay in Minnesota's God's Country.
Nice place to stay, extremely reasonably priced. Excellent hostess/owner! We'll definitely stay here again!
A great place to stay. Very reasonable and clean. One of the owners, Beth, was a wonderful host. My boat trailer had a flat which worried me being so far North. Beth's brother has a shop across from the hotel, he had the flat plugged within an hour. Great guy. Our group of 7 couldn't have been more satisfied with out stay! Great bait shop across the street. Also owned by the family!
