We are here with our two daughters and four grandchildren. What makes this place special is that it's a small resort that cares about its guests and the lifetime memories that are created. The cabins vary in size: our cabin has five bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms, a good size living room, a well-stocked kitchen, and a deck facing the lake. Clearly the owners Bob and Julie have invested a lot of time, money, and expertise in continually improving the cabins, boats, swimming area, and many amenities. This is not to be taken for granted. Many resorts slide based once a returning guests ensure high occupancy. The lake is clean, and gently sloped making it great for kids. All activities (except pontoon boat rentals) are free including pedal boats, canoes, kyaks, lily pad, slide, paddle boards,safety equipment, games, volleyball, playground, and activities at the "Lodge." The cabins include an incredibly well-stocked kitchen (with high quality pots and pans), utensils, garbage bags, recycling, dish soap, dishes, etc. Each cabin has a grill that uses propane (included) or charcoal. Bob chats with each guest to ensure there are no issues and even knows the name of each kid! Julie is the plant and flower wizard, and chief bird specialist. Fifteen minutes away is Wilmer with large grocery stores, Target, and Walmart to supply all your grocery and shopping needs. Spicer is even closer, with smaller stores and a play area, Big Kahoona with miniature golf, boat rides with water guns, and a go-cart area.

Nice old-school fishing and lakeside resort with both cabins and camping spots. Bob is a friendly and easy-going host. A BIG PLUS is the new pedestrian & bicycle trail that is just a few hundred yards from the resort entrance - a safe and welcome option for a little exercise after a day of hauling in the big fish!h

We had rented a lakehouse down the street from this resort but were in need of a pontoon boat. They were extremely helpful, sweet, price was great, and the transaction was as easy as pie. We had a great time on the lake. The boat was in great condition and so easy to use. Any person who has not driven a boat could drive these pontoons! I have not had a better customer satisfaction experience like I had with the Dice family. I highly recommend this place!

They are unbelievably money-grubby and extremely poor hosts! They don't allow you to have local guests, and in fact, charge you additional if you do! They watch every move you make and take a tally of anything you touch (for example, if you need to use a life preserver they charge you by the hour for something so ratty you don't even want to put it on your body!). Beware of this resort! It will ruin your family vacation!

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!
