Poor reviews on other platforms but we thought it was great. The camp sights had trees and brush for some privacy. It was quiet and very clean. The bath house was dated but cleaned every day. We paid $15 per night for a boat lift. The family that owns it was very friendly and helpful with fishing tips. We'd go back.

We had very low expectations going in, but ended up being pleasantly surprised and had TONS of fun! We stayed in Cabin #5, which is the most private. We loved the location and front window view of Lake Minnewaska. Though everything was a little "dated," the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room, though we spent most of our time outside of the cabin! Firewood readily available for purchase and lots of rental options. We rented the pontoon and had a blast. Randy and Judie (the owners) are very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable cabin experience on a beautiful Minnesota lake!

It is nice, clean and homey with a rustic cabin feel. If you want luxury hotel type accommodations, look elsewhere. There is a shallow entry swimming sand beach with free paddle boards, canoes, kayaks all available for anyone to use. They have a water trampoline and a water slide that the kids love. All of the cabins are very close or directly on the shore with a beautiful view. They can coordinate pontoon or boat rental. The large cabin has its own fire pit, otherwise there is a shared fire pit for use. They even have wood chopped and ready for you to use! Owners are passionate about creating a great experience for guests. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a laid back, quiet, relaxing experience.

There are so many wonderful upgrades we didn't expect - the outdoor chairs and grills were top-notch. Everything was kept up nicely and you can tell the owners take pride in the resort.

The owners of Lake Le Homme Dieu B&B have no decent courtesy or respect for their neighbors. During…read morea storm in June 2013 their dock, which is not fully secured down, was blown off its frame and continued down shore. The dock was made up of large, maybe 4x4 ft. pieces reminiscent of pallets. These pieces, after being blown down shore, came to smash upon my father's small fishing boat which was tied to our dock. Our boat had been weathering the storm just fine, as we all were watching it from the window with flashlights, until the dock pieces began to hit it. The dock pieces caused severe damage to my father's boat, as well as tipping it starboard until it started taking in water. It sank. We spent a full day bailing and trying to recover his fishing equipment. We even spent part of that day helping the owners of the B&B recover their dock pieces. In the end, they offered no apology, no help - not even a bilge pump - to my father in return. I even wrote them a letter explaining how their dock ruined our boat, as well as our vacation, and they never responded. For shame. Don't support their business. Also, they have something against dogs.

It's a little cramped seeing as how it's more long than wide, but there's a lot of stuff for your truck and tons of souvenirs to browse. They have lots of sins and wraps to choose from, as well as burgers and fried apps. If you try anything, I recommend the beer cheese soup, it's amazing! There is a small truckers lounge with 5 private showers, and what makes them quirky is that the showers are named after truck brands (Peterbilt, Kenworth, ect). A nice place to relax.

On a recent stay at Berg's with my family, we all had a great time. The resort is in a good…read morelocation, offering easy access to the lake for swimming, water skiing or fishing. Berg's has fishing boats available for rent at a reasonable rate. The cabins are a bit run down and in need of some basic maintenance. For example, the cabin we stayed in had a leaky toilet (most likely only needed an new wax seal) and a broken toilet seat - both very easy to fix. The shower was also in need of repair (and a better cleaning job). The cabin was very dated, circa 1970's, but functional. The cabin had a TV, ancient and non functional. The furniture looked like it came from garage sales. Find a couple OK looking chairs here, a pull-out couch there and populate a cabin with it. Granted, we were going to "the lake" so weren't expecting stellar accomodations but the Berg's need to pay a little more attention to the basics which would make a noticeable imporvement. I believe one of the cabins was recently remodeled, so perhaps they have a capital improvement plan in place and will be updating cabins over the next couple of years. Despite the improvements needed to the cabins, we all enjoyed our stay and would most likely go back.

There's different rooms with different themes. I won't bury the lead of the history of the house so you can have the full experience. Brenda was super hospitable and her breakfasts were delicious. She gave really good recommendations and worked hard to make us feel at home. Great BnB for sure!

I liked it because it was roomy and it felt like I was sitting on the lake with a beautiful view and we were all able to be in there together. We also enjoyed the pool. It was small but they took full advantage of it and the hot tub too. Our unit was perfectly clean and had everything we needed (microwave, oven, dishwasher, TVs with DVD and VHS) and the management was very sweet when we were in the pool too late because I thought it was an hour earlier than it was. And did I mention it was cheap because we were there off season? A great affordable spring break week!
