"If you love a rustic, quiet setting by the lake and not be annoyed by the lack of 'newness' or up-to-date appliances and amenities then this is the place for you. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay but only because of the setting. From my understanding this lodge/resort was sold fairly recently and is in the process of being updated. The main lodge is very modern and up-to-date but prices were out of our range. We also have 2 small dogs and I don't believe you can have dogs in the main lodge. We stayed in a 'cabin' type apartment which was very old. I believe the building was built in the early 1900's. Unfortunately, the room was very out of date, appliances very old. Television was even quite old. The water smelled terrible so it must be coming from a well or filtered through the lake. The room was clean just very rustic. HOWEVER, this DID NOT BOTHER us because of the setting. We are about 50 feet from Lake Bemidji which was BEAUTIFUL. Also because of the timing when we went in early June the mayflies were terrible but that is out of anyone's control. Food at the restaurant was pretty good. Standard fair at 'ok' prices. However do not get the Walleye fingers as they were terrible. The staff need a little better training. Not very many smiles or welcomes from employees working at the desk or in passing. A lot of 'stares' with blank faces. Needs some work and training. 2.5 / 5 stars.. Might seem low but if they worked on updating and some training."
