We stayed in cabin 15, which is not a cabin at all but part of the lodge building, and it doubles…read moreas the event center. It was originally the main lodge sitting area and cocktail bar.
As such it's not ideally suited as a guest room, but it was all they had when we reserved. The main room is enormous, with tables and chairs for 20 diners, upholstered furniture, large fireplace and windows overlooking the gathering area and A-frame, and the lake. Not exactly intimate, but anything but cramped. Large and modern kitchen (plates, bowls and mugs for dozens of people, flatware for less than half that). Gas grill worked great, good char on our steaks. Bedroom layout was haphazard, again being a repurposed common area, but more than enough room for the 7 of us. 2 showers (hot water is metered, our shower was lukewarm), huge washer and dryer. Not a lot of privacy as the main windows faced the grassy gathering area but they have privacy glass, and ppl minded their own business. Hate to say it but their pizza may be the worst I've ever had, including take-and-bake, and most frozen. Edible, but not by a lot. Burnt on one half, and mistakenly half cheese only. Sausage and pepperoni on the other half almost non existent. Bring your own food or drive to town (Luekens grocery in Bemidji was outstanding). Staff were all very nice and accommodating. I liked it, others not as much.
