Love this place! I spent my first weekend ever in MN here, and it was great. I came to visit my…read morewife's family for their annual Labor Day weekend get together. I don't really have anything bad to say, so I will try and list all of the things that are great about this place. We had a total of 5 cabins split between the family. I stayed in cabin #1 with my wife, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and my 2 yr old niece. The cabin was very cozy between the 5 of us. It was one of the smaller cabins, but it had a porch and a nice view of the lake through the back. All of the cabins are very clean and up to date with fireplace, a/c, fully functional kitchen, and electric heaters. The grounds of the resort is beautiful. Flower beds were blooming with flowers. There is a newly renovated playground area, a volleyball pit, a game room, and a very nice fish cleaning station. A secret garden can be found with very interesting knick knacks and decor. There is a swimming beach lined with kayaks, fun bugs, paddle boats, paddle boards, and other various water accessories. Again, all of the equipment has been well taken care of, so much that a lot of it looks brand new. These items are all available to use by the campers with a proportional deposit at the main office. There is a boat ramp and very nice boat stalls where you can tie up a boat or even keep your boat under a covered dock with a boat lift. The resort is conveniently located near local establishments where you can pick up food, alcohol, fishing gear, etc. My only minor complaint about the place is that they do not allow dogs, but I can understand their reasoning as the cabins are closely quartered and many people probably don't want to deal with peoples obnoxious pets while on vacation. All in all, Black Pine Beach Resort is a wonderful place to get away from reality, and I look forward to the many future Labor Days to come at BPBR.

I have been vacationing on the Whitefish chain of lakes since the mid 1950's. One by one, the…read moreresorts are being sold off as private cabins. One year, my family decided to visit all the remaining resorts. We wanted to find the best resort and best value. This one was a gem! We have stayed there a few times now, and I wouldn't consider any other resort on the Whitefish chain. I can tell the owners not only care about their resort, but they care about the Crosslake-Pequot Lakes- Pine River area. I hope and pray the owners don't decide to retire and sell it off. I highly recommend a stay at Black Pine Beach. Check out their pre and post season rates.

For our anniversary this year we stayed at Boyd Lodge and had the most blissful, quiet, relaxing day imaginable. Surrounded only by the sounds of the leaves falling from the trees we were able to truly connect and enjoy each other's company in a way that just isn't feasible at home. Thank goodness for the rest, relaxation, and opportunity to focus on our relationship. We returned home rejuvenated and full of gratitude for such a wonderful experience. Boyd Lodge is truly a gem and we look forward to planning another stay in the very near future! We'll bring our daughter along next time though, because Mommy missed her far too much.

Our kids are teens & tweens and they enjoyed themselves on the water tramp, bikes, canoe & water playground. I can see that this would be a fantastic place for smaller kids too. The beach is protected and shallow entry, the water playground is surrounded by dock, also feels very protected and safe. It's a quiet section of lake with perfect access to the chain of lakes great for boating, skiing etc. there's a convenient boat rental place right up the lake too. We will definitely be back.

Along the lake they have many smaller cabins that have great views of the lake. This family friendly resort has ton to keep you occupied! Mini golf, basketball court, old fashion arcade, swim area and raft, and tons near by to head off too if you feel the need. They have a boat launch and docks with boat rentals and a variety of water craft that require human power to move. The owners are super friendly and have something going on all week long to help if the fishing is slow. The gift shop is great if you need T-shirt or some basic kitchen items to save the run into town. This has been our favorite spot for the past 15 years and will be for years to come

The water was great, the weather was too and the owners are like family now. I had fun in the boat paddling around and riding bikes around. Great spot with just enough space to stretch out and enjoy the night with a fire pit. The wildlife was great and the minnow pond was huge. Cool fish cleaning spot too. Really a place to check out. Great for families, there were a few staying while I was there. I'm older now and I'll be going back with my kids and wife soon to share the fun and build wonderful memories. Please conceded this great place for your next trip.

We went for a wedding and enjoyed the back deck, main lounge area and lower lounge area, there are…read moremany nice places to sit and chat, though if you are not part of a wedding, be aware that portions of the hotel are closed off during ceremonies. The lodge is decorated in a North Woods style. We had a King Suite room which had a fireplace, which we used for a short time, was clean and had a comfortable bed, though the pillows were not good -hard as rocks. The breakfast was better than I expected, they had two kinds of home made frozen omelettes that you could microwave - quite tasty, and a big step up from the Cisco premade egg items at chain motels, plus hard boiled eggs, a good selection of teas and the usual waffles, muffins and bread items. There is a small, cute shopping area that is less than a 10 minute walk away which has a few ladies boutiques, some restaurants and other stores. You can also walk to the grocery store in about 5 minutes and the golf coarse is a 5 minutes drive away.
