Great vacation!
My wife and I decided to celebrate our 30th anniversary early in the year instead of waiting just in case the temperatures got too hot mid summer as they often do.When our booking came up, we were pleasantly surprised that the weather was going to be in the 70's and sunny the whole week. Even better after we discovered that Hope Shores is such a fantastic place with all the ammenities we would need and want. It's a beautiful house with such a relaxing feel to it that it didn't take long before we were at ease kicking back in the living room enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. We love reading and spent hours out on the wrap around screened in porch with our Kindles, or on the bench at the end of the dock looking out at the lake and enjoying the wild life.The movie theater and a game of pool were a terrific way to spend our evenings, especially stretched out on the comfortable recliners watching our favorite movies on the big screen. There are some nearby walking trails at Dassel/Darwin Park that provide terrific scenic views from the top of the mountain that overlook the surrounding area. We killed some time at the nearby thrift store in Dassel and found everything we needed at the grocery store in Cokato. We loved spending time enjoying our meals in the large beautiful kitchen or just listening to music and drinking coffee in the mornings. By the end of our peaceful relaxing week, we were sad to be leaving which is always a good sign of a great vacation.
