Sunset Beach Hotel

The Sunset Beach Hotel, also referred to as Peters' Sunset Beach Resort, is a historic resort hotel in Glenwood Township, Pope County, Minnesota, southwest of Glenwood, United States. Situated on the southern shore of Lake Minnewaska, three structures of the private, commercial resort were placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on February 11, 1982. The complex is notable because it stands as one of the best-preserved early resorts in west central Minnesota, and as a center of seasonal resort activity on the lake since the second decade of the twentieth century.
==History==

By the end of the 19th century, the southwest section of shoreline along Lake Minnewaska had become popular residents of North Dakota. They built summer homes and created the "Camp Dakota" subdivision, platted in 1905. Henry P. Peters, a resident of Enderlin, North Dakota and a conductor on the Soo Line railroad, which passed through nearby Glenwood, purchased a cottage in 1908.〔 Peters quit the railroad in 1912 and moved to Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada, where he quickly found success in the construction industry. Saving a few thousand dollars, he decided to move permanently to Glenwood in 1914.〔Pierce and William G. Peters, ''50 Golden Years at Sunset Beach'', privately published, 1965; copy accessed from "Sunset Beach Hotel" file, State Historic Preservation Office in the Minnesota History Center.〕 He and his wife organized a company to build the "Glenwood Summer Hotel". That building, now the Main Lodge, opened on June 1, 1915.〔 By 1918, Peters was able to buy out the other stockholders and secure a controlling interest in the resort; the name was soon changed to Sunset Beach Hotel. The name caught on and soon "Sunset Beach" became the name for the area around the hotel. Despite having little formal education himself, Peters managed to send his children to Shattuck Military Academy and the University of Wisconsin.〔 The Peters family has continuously run the resort since then, adding additional buildings and facilities over time.〔 During the Great Depression, Peters and his wife managed to keep the hotel afloat, even when a severe drought caused the lake to lower far enough that a road had to be built from the hotel to the lake. Pushing the lake's fishing potential, particularly for walleye, Peters made light of the fact that "the walleyes didn't know there was a depression going on."〔
The resort's Main Lodge, Annex, and Court Building were deemed to be outstanding examples of the simple functional style of early lake resorts, contrasting with the more ostentatious log resort buildings built for the northern Minnesota resorts of the 1920s. The resort is of historic interest for its link with the early development of one of Pope County's significant aspects, its seasonal population.〔
Additional small cottages, as well as other structures and facilities, have been added to the resort over the years; however these structures have been significantly altered since their construction and were not included in the nomination to the NRHP. In 1962 the owners decided to add a golf course, now named the Pezhekee National Golf Course, which opened with four holes in 1965 and expanded into a nine-hole course by 1967.〔
