If you're looking for a place to Vacation with your family with lots of disappointments then look no further. Rude staff that took no responsibility for the many things that went wrong during our week stay. My family and I rented 3 cabins 10 months in advance with Lakeside views. However, one of the cabins rented was tore down last fall. So instead of a 2 bedroom on the lake they gave us a one bedroom furthest from the Lake. So we were no longer all together. No apology, and no discount on the cabin. The owner(Tammy), just said, "it's not my fault." She tried to blame it on the fact that they are waiting for "State" to come out and approve the new cabin being built in its place. The new cabin wasn't even finished and we all had to listen to saws and construction the entire week. Basically it was just a huge lie. Day 2, our plumbing in Oak and Balsam was backing up into the sinks. We informed staff of the situation and it took several hours before someone came to take a look at it. Turns out the plumbing has been an issue for several weeks and they had to get an excavator in to fix a busted pipe. We went without sewer and water for 1.5 days. Once again we were given no apology. When asked if we would get a discount Tammy's response was, "No, it's not my fault this happened." The cabins were filthy. Floors were not even cleaned. Mouse poop in the bathtub, cobwebs everywhere, doors don't shut, windows do not stay open and soooooo many dead bugs everywhere. Cabin Little Moose was infested with ants. For a whole week's stay we were given one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and 2 trash bags. Everyday I had to go down to the office to get more toilet paper and trash bags. Not to mention there is no one in the office to help you ever. You have to search to grounds to find them. We were told to place our trash outside the cabin and staff will pick it up during the day. So as you would assume I woke up several mornings with trash everywhere from the animals and rodents getting into it. A barrel would probably be appropriate to prevent this from happening. On our last day Tammy came over to our cabin and told us our boat was in the wrong spot and made us move it for someone else. The boat was in the same spot all week and it was in a spot they assigned to us the first day. When we checked out Tammy accused our group of going into another cabin when our plumbing was out to shower. To which we never did and find that to be so bazaar. Very unprofessional, poor customer service, rude, and clearly don't care about their guests. PLEASE, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT STAY HERE. read more

See all

Cabin was beautiful and CLEAN! Owners/managers/employees were all very kind, helpful, and cheerful. After our rental boat broke down they were very accommodating and tried their best to make our stay a relaxing fishing vacation. Chris Whitney (218-820-4819) is a great fishing guide who operates out of the resort. We caught our limits of walleyes with Chris. read more

We booked the resort for a family getaway 10 months in advance. We had three cabins reserved all by the lake. Two weeks before the trip we called and found out one of the cabins had been torn down but we would get the new cabin for the old cabins price. Two days before we found out it wasn't done. The cabin they put us up in was way up the hill and no where near the rest of our family. Yet the owners wouldn't tell us if the people closer to use had booked before or after us. Only given a 10% discount. Get up there and found mouse poop in the tub, cobs webs all over both cabins. The floors are warped and sagging. Some of the windows can't open or won't stay open. We only had half a roll of toilet paper in one cabin to start. After a day and a half of being there the toilets started backing up into the sink. They came out after 2 hours and "fixed" it. The next morning they were outside our window at 8am trying to figure out the problem. A sewer pipe was broken and we didn't have it fixed until night. We had to use the bathroom at the office. And had no running water all day. They were very rude and lied about us using the bathroom in the "new" cabin for showers and the bathroom which we never did. Things to expect from Northland Lodge Have to get toilet paper all the time Floors were soft, felt like almost falling through (dont know about mold) Grass wasn't cut until mid way through week Bathroom cabinets broke Grill was barely standing (working order) Limited firewood They are nice on the phone but very rude once onsite Dog poop all over grounds Mice poop in the tub Acorn pieces in the sheets of the bed (from rodents) Ants in one bedroom Patio door doesn't shut all the way (bugs all over) Lamps broke (50% lights work) Refrigerator in oak leaks water from freezer Windows don't all open Limited dish's and silverwear Waking up every morning to construct right outside bedroom window. read more

The most amazing resort! We have been going here for 20+ years and it has always been the most relaxing and fun vacation. So perfect for families! Can't recommend this place more! read more

Awesome customer service. Great location. Great cabins. Nice resort for families or fisherman alike. High quality at a great price.

Excellent accommodations and friendly staff. Cabins are very nice. Lake is beautiful. Fishing is just ok (compared to Canada).

We absolutely love this place! Our family keeps coming back year after year. Great kids activities, nice beach, and clean cabins. I only wish the harbor was a little bigger, but it's not small by any means. Spring walleye fishing was just awesome last year too. We can't wait to go back. read more
