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.

If you are looking for a REALLY FANCY place I would not recommend staying here.

The photos on the website do not lie and we were very happy with our cabin. *The water has a sulfur-like smell to it, but this is the case for most of the area and the resort has better smelling water than some other places in the area.

I watched them help a elderly lady with a breathing tank on and off a boat. They have a swimming pool and a playground for the kiddos. There is also a beach across the way at Lost Lake for your use. Tracy, Ron, Joe, Lois, Liz and all of the rest were the best hosts and made us feel right at home. The only reason I downgraded to 4 stars are the toilets. They are far to short for anybody.

Where we live in Northern MN, the restaurants are pretty spread out in this area. When going out to…read moreget a bite to eat, whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and wanting to go some place different, we know we will be going for a car ride to one of the nearby small towns or to a resort that serves food. We don't mind the drive as it is beautiful country up here. Also, we will definitely be eating with the locals. So on Mother's Day, we decided to drive to Squaw Lake and eat at The Hill. It is about 30 miles away from our home. We arrived around 7:10pm. When we walked in, no one greeted us, no one was seated at the bar, but there were about 5 tables with customers. We caught the attention of the waitress and asked if we could sit anywhere. After seating ourselves, we waited another 10 minutes to get a couple glasses of water & the menu. One waitress finally had to ask the other waitress to wait on us. She did so with a smile and was friendly. Around 7:30pm, our order was taken. J ordered the Chicken Cesar sandwich with seasoned waffle fries. I ordered a beef taco salad. And then we waited....and waited. Almost an hour later, we got our food. Luckily, J & I were enjoying our conversation before we realized it was taking quite some time for our food to be served. When our food did come out, it was hot, good and we enjoyed it. Then the wait started again to get our check. We finally lost our patience & J had to seek out our waitress to get our check. She must have been back in the kitchen so J talked to the other waitress. By this time there were only 5 of us diners in the restaurant. They had also been patiently waiting for their food. On the other hand, there were about 20 people at the bar now, drinking, and watching the MN Wilds playoff game. I'm not quite sure what the issue was with the service but it was bad. There were about 25 diners in the restaurant with 2 waitresses and they weren't able to handle it. Maybe part of the problem was delays in the kitchen with the cook, maybe short staffed but there was never an explanation given when we asked. It is really unfortunate as our food was good and the restaurant is nice, clean and has a northwoods decor. When we had interaction with the waitresses, they were always very pleasant. Maybe it was an off night, maybe their service is always slow, but if you decide to come here to eat, plan to wait.

The menu has not changed in the years I have been coming here. They have a couple vegetarian options (grilled cheese on kids menu, cheese pizza) and no vegan options. The salad bar is lackluster; my vegetarian friend took one look and said "Uh no thanks" which was my thought too when I looked at it previously. The dining room and bar areas are nice and clean, bathrooms are clean and you can see into the kitchen which also looks clean. The food is good, not amazing. The service in the bar and dining room is great and friendly. The views are great from the bar and dining room looking at the Rainy River. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather and bugs are cooperating.

The clean, VERY WELL maintained cabin included a warming fireplace, crispy clean bedding, all required utensils and virtually instant hot water in the shower and kitchen. The grounds provided space for casual walks (escorted by hummingbirds and chipmunks). Fishing was good and the lake scenic thanks in great part to limited development. As important as anything, Loon Point's owner/operators were not only visible, but helpful as well. Loon Point provides lots of lessons for owner/operators of "Mom and Pop" destinations who believe they'll stay in business by doing the "same old thing." It's just not gonna happen.
