This is a great little MN lake resort. With just a few cabins and some RV parking spots it is nice…read more It has a huge play area full of sand for kids. The cabins are clean and well kept. No outhouses like when I was a kid :) The location is terrific being only 10-15 minutes from Grand Rapids. The lake was very nice and seemed pretty quiet (in June at least). We did not do any fishing, but the neighbors seemed to do pretty well. The owners do everything and take pride in their property. This is definitely a great place to bring the family.

Our stay at Spider Shores Resort was the perfect quiet week. We stayed in cabin 5. It was quaint…read morebut exactly what we wanted. It was well shaded and cool in the cabin the whole week. The week we stayed it was about mid to upper 70's. The lake was quiet not a lot of boat traffic. There was plenty of fishing and relaxing on the lake. The owners Rachel and Travis were friendly and helpful. They have all the necessities available for purchase which was great considering town was quite a drive. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing week, this is the perfect spot!!

After staying at Spider Shores Resort for well over 30 years, and 3 different owners, I feel…read morequalified to say that the new owners have done an excellent job of turning the resort around with so many improvements! Rachel and Travis really are the owners that care about making this a place that people love to visit and return again and again. During the years we have stayed here, there have been many regulars that have not returned and I know one problem has been with the previous owner. Now is the time to give it another try and I am sure you will be more than happy with the "New Spider Shores". We have just returned from our recent stay and I have to admit that this has been probably the best stay in a long time. Even all the little improvements have not gone unnoticed. One important thing Travis told me that I feel tells a lot about the direction of the resort. He said "it is only going to get better" and I think that says it all. For us, we like the setting and the lake itself and it just adds so much having owners like Rachel and Travis. We wish them a ton of success in this new adventure!

We really enjoy the cabin and all of it's amenities. When we are not out hunting, we have been able to go canoeing, watch the northern lights, and visited friends and family in and around Grand Rapids. Peg and Tim are great hosts and very responsive to any needs that have arisen during our stays. The cabins are beautiful, and the lake views are impressive, such a great place! We wish we could live there!

We stayed in the "Love nest" on June 1-7. It's very small but ok except for many drawbacks. Take…read morethis advice: 1. poor refrigerator so bring your Yeti cooler and lots of ice. The refrigerator is small and the freezer is froze up totally. The refrigerator freezes most food inside! There's plenty of room for another fridge if they would get rid of the stools underneath the counter. 2. Way too much junk as in stools, chairs, water equipment for a TWO PEOPLE MAX cabin. 3. The lake is not a fishing lake. Literally no fish! The boats they provide are half sunk in the water and are of poor condition. PS: If you are city folks who don't fish or don't do much on the water and want to enjoy the sound of the loons and sitting around using their VERY GOOD WI-FI this fine. Day trips are nice and maybe necessary.

Maybe the weather had something to do with it (it was HOT). We accidentally set up in the wrong site - it was a BIG site but was very open and kind of felt like sitting in the middle of your driveway having a fire. (Site 21). The bathrooms/showers were not notch and very clean, seems to be a fairly new building. I had expected the well water to be very iron-y considering the location, but the water was great! The lake is beautiful, the beach was wonderful to cool off in.

But when my boyfriend's fam books Clear Lake Resort for their fishing/hunting/very Minnesotan excursions, I am relieved and tag along. We recently stayed in Deer Cabin. It has three bedrooms, 4 beds, a damn-near-full kitchen, full bathroom (stand-up shower), living room area with electric fireplace, satellite TV, a deck with charcoal grill, and fire pit. And the kicker, it was $85/night! It sleeps 6-7 comfortably so that could be ~$15/pp/night! Resort amenities include a main lodge w foosball, pool table, board games, wifi and TV. There's a fish cleaning house, basketball hoop, volleyball, and several hiking/ snowmobiling trails too. And since it's right on Clear Lake, you can bring non-motorized activities, and they might even have some for rent. The owners live on the property and their family is so kind and accommodating. And we love their dogs! (They will be playful w you outside but never enter the cabins). Not everything is top-of-the-line and updated, but it's the perfect place for outdoors-lovers for the right price, location, and hospitality.
