We stayed in the Sheridan House for two nights and did a morning canoe trip with Jake. As novices,…read morethis was a great and easy trip where you feel a little rugged for a measly city slicker. The location is about 9 minutes from town. He is very knowledgeable and adventurous. He had a lot of good stories, was a good teacher with paddling and was very chill. I would definitely organize another trip with them. Because we are novices and were in a three-person canoe, Jake did all of our brief portages. Safety was the highest priority. He was very mindful for us to not rush the experience.

My sister and I went on 2 half day canoe trips with them. Jake and Tommy were great guides! From…read moreour first contact with them the service was personalized and professional. Not only were our trips beautiful, safe, and fun, but they were educational as well. Jake was very informative about the flora, fauna, and history of the area. We learned a lot more than we expected to! I had high expectations for our trips and I am happy to say that my expectations were exceeded. I would highly recommend this outfitter to anyone looking to spend time in the Boundry waters!

Very large souvenir shop. They have a selection of clothing for men, women and children/babies…read more Their stock was a bit low for the season, and there were many empty shelves. Most of the souvenirs are related to minnesota, but they also have a small area for cat and dog lovers as well as a permanent christmas area. In the back, they have a small bookstore with stuff for all ages. They also have cooking tools etc for the hobby chef. At the front, they have camping and fishing supplies. I was looking for more food related items, such as local made jams, baked goods, etc. There wasn't much of this. They did have candles and soaps. In the end, i picked up a magnet and some funny socks. I would recommend this place for getting gifts related to minnesota and boundary waters. They had a lot of cute stuff.

We inquired about several items (Kevlar canoe, water purifiers, etc.)- they gave us their honest opinions and never tried to sell us on any of the items we wouldn't need. The life jackets and chairs we rented were a bit on the retro side and have had a bit of wear and tear but all highly functional nonetheless. They helped us load the canoes onto our cars safely, sold us fishing licenses in advance (in preparation for a government shutdown) Returns were quick and they even offered free showers to us (maybe the offer was extended just to our stinky group, for everyone's benefit). I would recommend this outfitter to a friend. FYI, the satellite phone only caught a signal when in a wide open space for at least 15 minutes. We had to canoe to the middle of the lake to use it.

I'm giving this place a full 5 stars even though I have little basis for comparison. The bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean and new. the sites do not have electricity but our site was huge, we put 3 large tents up and could have fit a 4th. We also had private lake access. The lake access was rocky and very slippery! So it wasn't much for swimming but it meant we had a great canoe launch right at our site. We also rented a canoe @ $20 a day it was a nice deal. The campground has a full playground, center store and office where you can get forgotten necessities and a sandy boat launch. There is a swimming beach on the grounds but it may be a short walk. The site was $17 a night and they have nice elevated fire pits with a built in grill grate. The site is also on the edge of the boundary waters which means no motorized boats (to an extent) lots of quiet and plenty of wild life! We got close to lots of turtles, ground animals and lots of bald eagles!. The scenery was amazing, the sky is incredibly clear for star gazing at it's best. And for being so far north the lake was quite temperate and excellent for swimming and boating. I highly recommend this camp site for newbies like me and the other, more experienced campers, were also impressed.

We stayed here before we hit the BWCA the next day. Our group was nice and large!…read more While it was a little confusing on where to find our campground, once we found the office everything made sense. The gates were closed for us (not locked) for the Campground area we were reserved for. The campsite was very clean and plenty of space for the tents. The paths are paved to go from place to place...i.e. the bathrooms. The bathrooms themselves were very clean. One has a code to enter on it to get in because of it's close vicinity to the boat landing, which is understandable. The only thing I had a rough time finding was the dumpster. it is kind of hidden. All in all, I would definitely stay here again.
