The location of Blue Moon Resort was perfect. We stayed in one of the motel rooms which was smaller but the cabins along the water seemed idyllic and I could imagine bringing a bigger group to stay and enjoy all the lake amenities. We only stayed one night. I appreciated how unfussy everything one and know the rooms may have been recently painted or updated. I always wish they would leave the original charm.

We enjoyed our stay overall! It was such a nice, peaceful getaway from the Saint Cloud area—exactly what we were looking for. The kids had a great time playing with other guests, and we really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit our first night making s’mores. There were just a few things we noticed that could make the experience even better. The satellite TV wasn’t working during our stay since it couldn’t detect the “cabin4” Wi-Fi extender. The Wi-Fi itself was also a bit spotty, especially with multiple devices connected, so we ended up using our Verizon data to stream. The water pressure in the kitchen sink was pretty low and made it take a while to fill pots or bowls. We also noticed the table was a little wobbly—even a light touch would make it move. Other than those small things, we had a really nice stay and appreciated the quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Thanks so much for the hospitality—we’d definitely consider coming back!
