By the way, if you are ever tempted to stay at the Ripple River Motel in Aitkin, resist the temptation. It comes highly unrecommended. Upon arrival, the room lacked toilet paper, soap, coffee, glasses. The towels were old and thin, Goodwill rejects. The crowning touch was the floor, which hadn't seen a vacuum in recent history - nor did it see one during our 3-day stay. The sheets? Don't even want to think about it. But the continental breakfast, holy crap! A fantastic assortment of granola bars - and tepid coffee to wash them down.
The place is old but does have an appealing rustic log cabin look. And, it's in a nice setting, beside the river, lots of grass and trees. It could be a pleasant place to stay - if and when the current management is fired and sent back to West Virginia, where they would surely be cast in the remake of Deliverance.
