Tim and I decided we would get away for a weekend and go ice fishing, which led us to Chase on the Lake. The most beautiful hotel I have ever seen with a touch of history. Opening in 1915 with twenty rooms in Walker, MN, called the Spencer Hotel. The Chase on the lake hotel was to start being built in 1918 in place of the Spencer. The original plan was for 100 rooms with a dining room facing the lake that seated 75 people at one time. The Chases took out the first mortgage of $500.00 at 8% interest with the First National Bank of Walker on March 1, 1922. The complete project cost for the Hotel reached an astounding $150,000. Since then the Hotel has had some MAJOR remodeling, and is now known as one of the top 5 hotels in Minnesota. Equipped with a bowling alley, restaurant, wii room, and lake side shores it is ideal for any Minnesotan looking for a vacation. We had a great time and can't wait to go back; I would recommend this to anyone.
