I'm writing this from the top level suite of the rental. This place is absolutely amazing! We are here with family and friends attending the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival of Music, which was killer. The decor of The Blais is perfect! We loved the speakeasy area. The photobooth was so much fun! The outdoor area was very nice. We walked to the local restaurants and bars. We will definitely find a reason to return!!
