Close to Vining: The Peak Supper Club

The Peak Supper Club 

Both my parents turned 80 this summer.  Certainly a cause for celebration.  Since they have lived in six states and several more towns in the 57 years that they have been married, a big open house with all their long-time friends was not a possibility.  A weekend at the lake with their children (4), childrens' spouses (3), and grandchildren (3) was.  It was a fine time with fun and some work.  The last event was to be brunch so my husband I scouted for a place to go.  We rejected the buffet at the bowling alley and breakfast off the menu at the new up-scale golf resort.  We failed in our half-hearted attempt to convince Stella's Bistro to open up and serve us brunch even though they don't usually do that.  We tried out a place in Detroit Lakes, but decided that it was too far to drive in the wrong direction.

Then, at the eleventh hour, my sister-in-law noticed that The Peak Supper Club has a Sunday buffet.  My brother allowed that he'd always been curious about the place.  So we went.  The link above gives you the menu and a map so you could locate it near the highest point in Otter Tail County, and near Vining about which Beth has recently posted.  But . . ..  this would not give you any sense of the most remarkable feature of the place: extraordinary taxidermy in abundance!  One room of fish and the other with deer, elk, moose and a bear skin!  I wish I had photos to show you.
