    People who like to fish this is for you. If you want to…read morerelax by the lake, swim, fish and have some quiet time, you can do it all here. We were invited to come along with some friends to this resort to fish. They have come up here for years and years. We loaded up to stay a week in a cabin. The cabins have the bare essentials. You get a toaster, a coffee pot, a full kitchen. There are some cooking essentials, but you want to bring what you think you'll need. We arrived a little early before or friends on Friday evening. I knew this place had good vibes as soon as we parked. Hundreds of dragonflies filled the air. They danced around us as we went up to the office. The resort owner was in the office. He came out to greet us. He gave us a run down of the resort. He showed us where laundry, trash, recycle, fish cleaning, parking, the cabin, and anything else we need was. We made our way to our cabin. The cabins are different sizes. Ours was a two bedroom cabin. Nice common area, with table, heater, futon, and room to hang out. I bowl of fruit awaits you on the table with the welcome letter. We were in cabin #1. The wind coming off the lake blew right into our cabin for a beautiful breeze. The air flow through this cabin is great. We did happen to pack a fan and used it in the bedroom. Each bedroom in this cabin had a full sized bed, closet, and dresser. Perfect for us, and our friends and their young son. The cabins each have their own seating area that over looks beautiful lake Clitherall. Could be a picnic table or chairs around a fire pit. There is shared access down to the boat dock. Boat slips for rent. You could rent a small boat too if needed. Swim or fish off the dock. This is big ice Fisher area in the winter. Just so quiet and beautiful. A couple cats roam the resort being good hunters. They were very sweet kitties and came to visit multiple times over the week. I loved it here. Perfect for our get away fishing trip. When it came time for our friends to switch cabins we helped them move into cabin #7. This one was a 3 bedroom. Not as good air flow, but bigger. What I noticed as we checked out the other cabins that my friends family was staying in was that each had their own rustic charm. Each had their own decorations, different drapes, different dishes, different furniture. All had a hand made fish spoon dish on the stove with the Old Town Resort on it. Each had a Old Town Resort soap in the bathroom. I loved the charm here. I already told hubby I would come back to this resort for another fishing trip. Just a quiet escape away from everything. Walking distance from a cute coffee house and play area for kids.

    Our family has been staying at Holly's over the past 30 years whenever we are visiting Minnesota…read morefrom California. We look forward to our visits with owners Barb and Steve Jensen and seeing what improvements and enhancements have been made since our last visit - this year we were impressed with the remodeling of the lakeside cottages. Cottage 4, Grandma's Attic, remains our favorite and now has a wonderful view of the lake with the addition of the full side of windows. Also this year we had a special need to adjust our rental time due to illness: Barb assured us we could stay the extra days and found space even though it was the beginning of June.

    What a great resort and fantastic owners!…read more It is surprisingly hard to find a resort that is both affordable and kept up. My family has gone here over the years and when it came time for my sisters bachelorette party this was on the list to check off. After doing some digging I discovered that they had the options to fit a party of our size and the cost didn't break the bank. We stayed in Cabin 14 and I can speak that the cabin has been completely redone (not because of us). I had the opportunity to see some of the recently remodeled cabins and they are excellent! The owners of the property are fantastic! They are so warm and welcoming! Only downside is there isn't really a beach, the shoreline is rocks so there wasn't really a space to get into the water.

    Where do I begin... Check in went well. We checked in around…read morenoon. The resort itself is pretty ran down. We didn't have heat until Saturday at 5pm. Mind you this was the coldest weekend in Minnesota. The manager wouldn't allow us to rent the conference room for Saturday evening even though no one was using it! Most importantly... the swimming pool! The pool has sand & dirt in the bottom of it. 2 kids cut their feet because the pool tiles were broken. It took the staff until 6pm Saturday for them to even try to repair the pool. Their solution was to put rubber mats over the broken tile areas. The waterpark was closed!!!! The restaurant is so expensive. Food was decent. The Sunday buffet cost was $14.95 & adults was $24.95. They charged me full price for my 5yr old granddaughter who ate one small blueberry muffin. All in all, I would not recommend Arrowwood Resort, nor will I return.

    This place appears to have been a very nice place about 20 years ago. We were here for a stay this…read moreweek and will never be returning. THIS MAY BE THE PLACE FOR YOU if you don't mind ACTUAL SHIT overflowing in the bathroom sinks of your room, and sheets and linens that have been around for 6 Presidential elections. Just changing rooms because of the issue was a struggle and "the best they could do" to rectify the issue was a Free Breakfast at 2100 Chophouse. Check their Google reviews for why this felt like more of an insult than just saying "there's nothing we can do." Save a few bucks, go to your local goodwill and grab a sleeping bag circa WWI and see how much they would charge to stay at the soon to be upgraded wastewater facility in Alexandria. Good luck!
