We had a…read morelarge group (11 people) and they were super accommodating and all the staff we interacted with were very sweet and friendly. I was also super into the food! They had veggie patty option (for an up-charge) for any of their burgers, which was so nice because I'm always worried I won't be able to find good veggie options when I'm in a small town. And the patty itself was really good! So many veggie patties (that aren't the impossible/beyond kind) will fall apart. This one stuck together well! Got the mushroom and swiss burger with it and it was so good. Their homemade fries and breaded cauliflower were both very good, but their mozzarella sticks were to die for. Normally I'm not into mozzarella sticks, but something about these really did it for me. Got the chocolate cheesecake for dessert and it was so yummy. All the rest of my family also really enjoyed their food (and there was a huge variety of orders). Spent a lot of time playing darts and pool. Love when a place has activities. They also had a little library where people could take/leave books, which I thought was super cute. All the taxidermy was a little off putting while eating, but I get that's their gimmick. The antler chandeliers were super cool though!

Entire sections are missing with remnants of old posts sticking up out of the water. Walkways that tilt at a 30 degree angle. No AC unit in the cabin. Couldn't open a window because the screens were broken on most of the windows and the windows wouldn't stay up. Hot as heck in the cabin the first two nights. Killed about 10 hornets inside our cabin. Three or four a day. Don't know how they were getting in. Charged us for 3 dozen shiners and we only bought one. Tried to bill us for 4 nights when we were only there for 3. Nope. Won't be back.

Not your parent's "Mom and Pop" resort...thankfully!…read more We had a truly enjoyable four nights at Loon Point. 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.

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!

From the fully-stocked, well-maintained cabins to the great fishing, there is something for every member of the family to enjoy. They sponsor daily activities for the kids, a clean beach with numerous watercrafts (kayaks, paddle boards, floating raft, etc), a dock attendant, and a beautiful lodge stocked with bait, fishing, food and clothing. We enjoyed nightly campfires and the sunsets and starry night sky views were amazing. This is the perfect place to enjoy family time and make memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

My family and I have truly grown up going to Bowen's Lodge every summer. Our second trip to…read moreBowen's was missed by my sister-in-law due to the birth of their 2nd child. That child is now a junior in college. Bill and Gail (the owners) are like family. In fact, when Bill's Dad, Bob passed away a few years ago, I felt the loss. When my son graduated from high school, he immediately joined the service as he was significantly impacted by 9/11. Our week ended at the end of the 1st week of August, but he was not to report to the military until December. I've never seen him so happy (and my wife so sad) as when Bill call a day after we came home asking if it would be OK if Matt were to return to work at Bowen's for the remainder of the season. I'm sure our kids will continue to go to Bowen's long after I'm dead and gone. It's just that kind of place. Your own little bit of heaven on earth.

This review is mainly about The Lost 40. An ancient hardwood forest that was somehow missed or…read moreforgotten during the era of the lumber barons in the late 19th century. One theory is the winters were so severe the lumberjacks gave up and deserted the project. This saves a valuable piece of land for us to enjoy whether you are a tree hugger or not. The short trail is signed explaining the types of trees and foliage in the area. I believe in Minnesota less than 2% of forested land remains as hardwoods which covered the state up to the prairie. The area of the Chippewa has camping and not much in amenities as it's not a state park and is recommended for the serious rugged camper.

The campsite was not too far from the water, so we just pulled our kayaks on the beach overnight and we dragged our reclining lawn chairs out to the beach too. The paddling was fantastic -- especially as the water had waves (I love a little tiny bit of adventure to paddling around a lake and this one had some nice waves). There were a lot of people here but we really did feel secluded. I also love camping in national forests because its okay to burn any wood that is down on the ground, so we didn't need to buy firewood, I just collected a bunch of downed limbs and got to work snapping them down to burnable size. I would recommend it!
