Very well maintained and comfortable accommodations. Very helpful and friendly. Excellent dining and lovely outdoor patio area looking over the lake. Fred and Brock looked after us very well at dinner.

Not really a resort. Hotel with firepit and restaurant. Good spot to stop for a drink while boating. Not a great place to stay.

Loved the "Up North Lodge" ambiance. Breakfast was delicious and staff super friendly and helpful. I see why many Lodgers are "long timers"

Classic up north lodge.
Pros:

Relaxing up north weekend on the White fish Chain. Unbelievable sunsets. Great menu, great meals. Chef Chads salmon was outrageous. Classic Minnesota lodge. Doesn't get any better than this. Walking distance to downtown Crosslake. Overall amazing experience

The property was older and you hear every creak and movement from the upper floors. Was not restful!

An easy, quick getaway to see fall tree colors.
Pros:

Our little 3 night get away to Manhattan Beach was just what we needed. The restaurant was open on Sunday, but was closed on Monday and Tuesday due to this being a slower time of year for them. We did have wonderful weather, the tree colors were just starting to turn which made a drive through Pillsbury State Park very enjoyable.
