Mystery Lake Hotel in Thompson
The Mystery Lake Hotel.
Kevin Jesmer: July 8 , 2021
The Mystery Lake Hotel. This hotel was part of our family lore. After church we would go there for lunch and I fell in love with French onion soup. The crispy swiss cheese I would pick off and eat with my fingers. They would also host the community pancake breakfasts (held for Nickel Days) in their parking lot. It was just a nice place to take the family out for a lunch. It still looks like a very nice place to eat. There is a picture of the chef that made the French onion soup famous and a picture of the recipe too! I never stayed there overnight. I never had to. I lived in town…lol. Trappers Tavern was also near the hotel, around the back. Here are the pics and the recipe. The old pics are from around 1970.
