My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Elbow Lake Lodge in the Eagles Next Suite. The suite is at the top of the lodge and had a great view of the lake. The suite was very spacious with a sitting area, kitchenette, and the bed. We were usually hiking during the day so didn't spend a lot of time in the room. As others have noted, it could use a little updating but overall a great experience for us. We had breakfast in the suite and usually didn't get back until after dinner. The lodge is a little isolated but we liked that. The laundry facilities in the lodge were an added bonus. We were able to self check in and check out which was convenient and Bob was responsive to any questions we had through messages.
Loved the location, Elbow lake was beautiful. The beach was a hard sand beach which was great for swimming. We also loved the âold time lodgeâ feel of the place. Though it needed some updating the room was good. They could invest in some better bedding, but it was fine for our 3 nights. It would have been nice if the other guests were just a little more considerate, staying in the lodge. But you can get that anywhere. We tried to get a pizza one night, that was advertised as something they offer and he was out of pizzaâs. The view from the Eagles nest was amazing, we loved overlooking the lake. However it was a bit noisy with the windows open and it was too warm to close the windows. We would go back for another stay.
It a beautiful property! Alyss is very friendly and always there to help if needed. The studio is a beautiful room, just wish it curtains on the windows. Otherwise, huge, beautiful room! Would love to come again!
We loved how remote this place is. There were only a couple small oddities. The freezer section of the mini fridge needs a thaw and there wasn't a big pot for us to cook mac and cheese. Everything else was amazing and we both plan to return in the future.
The resort is tucked away on a cute lake. The lodge is nice needs a little updating but the game room and beach were great. Rooms were large and clean great views. Bob the owner was great.
My daughter and I stayed here for two nights. The owners were so friendly and responded as soon as I needed anything. The view was absolutely stunning. It was a cozy room with everything we needed for a great price. Such a great place to get away from the stresses of the normal routine and just relax. We will definitely be coming back!
The view was amazing looking out over the lake with a beautiful sunset. Sound of the loons was relaxing. Those get the high marks. Unfortunately, the carpet in the room was pet stained and not swept well as there were dead bugs found. The return vents and floor fan were filthy and the crank on a window broken. Ironically,the sofa was not a sleeper so kids slept on the floor, but I found a sofa sleeper in the game room! Understaffed and in need of repairs and refurbishing.
The accommodations in the âEagles Nestâ were perfectly fine for our 2 night stay. If we go again we would try to get one of the cabins for a more secluded stay as they are a little bit away from the lodge vs staying in the lodges. Overall the property and room were very quiet, the owners were very nice and it was perfect for seeing the Black Bears in Orr, MN.
The location is amazing out in the middle of nowhere. Just be prepared to get what you want before you come out. The hosts are great and helpful. They will get you whatever you need you make your stay comfortable. Recommend renting the pontoon for a day and just tooling around the lake.
Perfect getaway. We enjoyed the property, the lodge, the other guests. Room was perfect and clean. Watched a storm go across the lake from the front windows. The grounds are peaceful. Had a campfire going one night. Great place for kids, lots to keep them entertained with out all the electronics.
We needed to get completely away from the chaos of life and this was a perfect place.
The owners and employees are truly hard working, caring and genuine people.
