Reviewed By europewithKellynRyan - Vadnais Heights, Minnesota
This historical home is nice for the town to have as an attraction for those who are familiar with this famous MN author. While the house wasn't open, we were able to read the informative sign, peek in some windows, and see Main Street.

Downtown avenue characteristic of small-town America depicted in Sinclair Lewis' book of the same name, "Main Street."
Reviewed By fouraces55337 - Minneapolis, Minnesota
A typical small town Main Street, but you could almost imagine Sinclair Lewis walking around here. Interesting collection of businesses and just the place to spend a week end. The leaves were turning too and that just added to the charm!

5. Greystone Golf Club

3.5 based on 12 reviews
This Tom Lehman designed-course is challenging, yet moderately priced, and has over 7,000 yards with 12 water holes.
Reviewed By RonJac - Minneapolis, MN
My wife and I played GreyStone on Saturday July 19th. This was the first time ever playing the course and it was very enjoyable. The course is an easy 90 minute drive from Minneapolis and is located about 5 miles from Sauk Centre, MN.
The course is Links style with rolling hills and wide fairways. Most fairways are lined by longer fescue that will “eat” errant shots. There is water on a few holes but the only true forced carry is on the signature 17th hole, a short par 3 surrounded on 3 sides with water and trees long. The greens are undulating and very fast.
The clubhouse is well stocked and the beverage cart came around 2 times on each 9. Add to that nice electric carts and it equals a great round of golf. If this course were closer to the cities or in the Brainerd lakes area it would cost twice as much. Summer rates are $39 M- Th and $49 Fir – Sun.
