About this property

It offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for guests looking to enjoy outdoor activities, particularly fishing. The lodge’s cabins are described as warm and comfortable, providing a practical base for spending time in the surrounding wilderness.

This was my 4th time here? I think, but anyways it was a great time! I’m a nerd so u enjoyed watching and hearing the turboprop plane take off and land every time. It’s quite delectable! Cabins were nice, my dad lost his whopper flopper lure, caught a big walleye, so plenty of memories! Only gripe I have with this place is the boat ramp. Please add some more rocks so that it’s not such an aggressive drop off. It was quite a pain the the you know what to unload and especially load our boat up when leaving. See you next year! :)

Great place. Warm cabins and well kept facilities. They even have wifi which is important as most places out here have no cell service.

My family's favorite fishing resort since the 1990's. Owners Bill and Laura are some of the sweetest and most caring people you will meet and are amazingly attentive to their guests needs. Let them put u on some hot Northern or walleye action and RIP some lips.
