We loved enjoying the common area space in the lobby with our large group to gather, outside of our rooms. The cozy lobby offered a lovely fireplace, comfy couch, and extra tables for seating and snacking. Everyone was so welcoming. We enjoyed the pool, sauna, hot tub and beach walks.
We rented a room in the main lodge, it was much larger than a typical hotel room. Large bathroom, with separate mirror/ vanity area outside the bathroom for getting ready. Balcony with amazing lake views.
I was disappointed in the contentential breakfast.
No scrambled eggs or bacon/sausage .
Other than that it was fine . You just adapt to whatever is served.
Waffles were good.

Loved the view and access to the lake as well as the use of the dock. Our room has not been updated yet. It was ok but old and worn, damp and could have been cleaner. We were able to park our boat and trailer which was a plus. The restaurant was good as well.
A wonderful place for families looking for a free breakfast and indoor pool. Cabin furnishings could always be updated but it provides a nice rustic feel. We have stayed here many times and it’s our go to place in Bemidji.
