What sets this apart from other resorts in the area are 2 things. 1. The family and kid oriented amenities. Paddle boats, zip line, paddle boards, bikes, water tramp, canoes, jungle gym, kayaks, bags, horse shoes.... And the list goes on. All of these are FREE to use!!! 2. The hospitality is wonderful. The campground has been in the family for several generations and they are always available to help you and lend something to you should you have left something at home.... Like we do often.... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The menu has not changed in the years I have been coming here. They have a couple vegetarian options (grilled cheese on kids menu, cheese pizza) and no vegan options. The salad bar is lackluster; my vegetarian friend took one look and said "Uh no thanks" which was my thought too when I looked at it previously. The dining room and bar areas are nice and clean, bathrooms are clean and you can see into the kitchen which also looks clean. The food is good, not amazing. The service in the bar and dining room is great and friendly. The views are great from the bar and dining room looking at the Rainy River. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather and bugs are cooperating.

Full disclosure: I hate winter anyway but wanted to experience winter fishing at least once ! Our guides were always cheery and pleasant, even when they would have to keep replacing the many jigs we kept losing in the rocks. Shore luches were always a necessity.

We chose Grandview as a base from which to explore Voyageurs National Park, while planning our…read moremid-August family road trip earlier this year. Grandview was the only resort we could find that offered the four-night reservation we needed. That, plus the accommodations, amenities, reviews, and the fact that Grandview is a local, family-owned and managed business, sealed the deal for us. Being first timers to the region, we hoped for an authentic North Woods experience. The Grandview, with its rustic, mid-20th century roots, the serenity of the lake -- especially ending each day with the call of the loons while sitting by the fire -- and the variety of outdoor activities far exceeded our expectations! Sheyna and Mark are the most friendly and welcoming hosts! They warmly greeted us, gave us the tour, and happily answered all of our questions, so that we could make the most of our stay at Grandview and Voyageurs National Park. Every time we encountered Sheyna, Mark, or their family members, Pat and Rachel, going about their business of managing the resort, we were met with smiles and good conversation, which only enhanced the quality of our experience at Grandview. We stayed in the Lakeview Cabin, which is perfect and charming in every way a cabin can be, and comfortably accommodated my husband, myself, and our teen aged son. I would be remiss if I left out the resort store, which offers a nice variety of items, and beautiful handmade gifts. We left wishing we had more time to stay and enjoy the beauty and peace of the little slice of heaven that is Grandview of Lake Kabetogama, and look forward to being "next-timers"!
