    Had a great vacation with family here! We loved exploring the trails and relaxing on the lake. The…read morecabins are well kept, spacious and had everything that we needed - not to mention a beautiful view of the lake. The owners are great - we spent a lot of time hanging out in the store and enjoying free popcorn and good company. They also have cute and friendly dogs which is always a plus! Overall, a great experience - will definitely be returning!

    Seriously, this doesn't get any better. Our first year here was under the new owners, but I…read moreunderstand that the previous owners were pretty good also. These owners are super nice people and beyond fair in their dealings. Free K-cup coffee and popcorn in the office, they actually bring popcorn to you most evenings as you sit around the campfire. Free donuts, juice, and coffee by the lake your first morning there. A fun "holey-board" tourney is a highlight. The only complaints about this place I have ever heard are by entitled folks who don't believe in parking boat trailers in the provided parking area and are otherwise rude rule-breakers in general! Rules are there to protect both the owner and you. The owners are NOT sticklers and will work with you. We rented a window A/C and they didn't charge us because it ended up being a cool week and we only ran it a couple days. The grounds are well-maintained. The driveway and area around the office are paved, so my granddaughter had a blast riding her scooter. Cabins are quite nice, spacious, and comfortable with nice kitchens... no slackers here. Newer cabins are VERY nice, and some have central air. Volleyball, playground, and a very large lawn for games. They have boats available, including pontoons. There are several docks and a swimming beach with lots of water toys. The lake isn't really big, so that means you don't wake up in the morning to jet-skis! Very quiet place, and they even have nesting bald eagles. Very close to Nevis and a nice drive to Park Rapids for shopping or to Walker for shopping and the casino. This is infinitely better than our previous resort home, both in ownership and in overall amenities.

    **WARNING TO POTENTIAL GUESTS**…read more The registration form includes the question: "Do you have friends or family that live or are staying in the area?" The owner, Anne, utilizes this question to profile guests. If you answer this question as "Yes", owner will decline your reservation based on the following rationale: "...it has been our experience that guests with relatives close to us are interested in staying at Pine Beach Resort to be able to split their time between the resort and attending family gatherings with a flow back and forth to and from the resort...But that really hasn't worked very well for us or our guests." No where on the website states that it is a resort or reservation policy that guests need to remain on the property and should not leave the resort to enjoy time with nearby family. While I find this policy to be presumptive and strange in general, I am more disappointed that the policy is not communicated upfront so that I did not have to waste time and energy with a reservation that would never have been accepted for the mere fact that I have family within the city of Nevis.

    My family and I have been going to Pine Beach for going on 19 years, and everyone in my family…read moreLOVES it! Ann the owner is just so incredibly sweet and hardworking. She maintains the resort incredibly well and Pine Beach wouldn't be the same without her! I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is truly the most relaxing, fun filled vacation and we look forward to it every year! We have been coming here since my three girls were young and Pine Beach is definitely the place to come for families! They offer daily activities for kids, from sand castle building and fishing contests to feeding animals and learning how to water-ski! In between planned activities the Resort is surrounded by beautiful walking trails, water equipment like kayaks, paddle boats and paddle boards for anyone to use, and is located right on lake Belle Taine. The lake is so clean and beautiful, perfect for boating, fishing and swimming! We barely saw our kids during the day other then meal times- they kept themselves so busy with everything offered at Pine Beach! Now that our kids are older they still enjoy coming here and relaxing on the beach, exploring the shops in nearby Nevis and Park Rapids and spending time out on the lake! We have had so many great memories there and look forward to the coming years!
