Overall was fun in the waterpark just could be a little cleaner Staffing could be better in casino front desk was a big help casino was colorful machines were tight

This property had the potential to be amazing. However it is very dirty, not maintained, beds and…read morebedding outdated and uncomfortable, as well as very noisy. We were there last week, you would think they could space people out in rooms with very few staying. We had two adjoining room and on the far side was a drunk group that puked and you could hear it two rooms over. Upon entering the buildings the exterior and hallways were trashy. The water park had just opened on Thursday and all the trash barrels were full. Bathrooms were not something you would want to use in water park. The entire property needs a serious cleaning and painting. The check in process was very slow. Sorry to see this property not taken care of, will not return.

Would not recommend. When trying to go to the waterpark, we waited 1.5 hours for someone at the…read morewindow to purchase our wristbands. There was a sign that said shift change. Shift change should never be more than 30 minutes. When checking out, the attendant was outside smoking (after watching us walk in to checkout and saw me standing there for 30 min) Finally when I approached him because I couldn't wait anymore he assured me he would check me out. It has been 2 weeks now and they are still holding my money. When I called to get it out the woman assured me I would get an email to send my back to release my funds. When I was trying to explain the situation, she continued to cut me off and not listen to anything was saying. She said, " I will personally handle it myself at midnight and have the form to you right away" That was just a lie to get me to stop complaining. I will never return to any of their properties. Absolutely disgusting behavior, customer service and terrible management. All while holding my money, I left our room in pristine condition when I left so there was absolutely no reason to hold it for 30 days. Lazy Lazy management and employees.

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.

Seriously an amazing beach! Played bingo one day and even won a few prizes! We stayed in a cabin that overlooks the lake. Highly recommend. Really any cabin here is great. Very clean, up kept, many utensils in the cabinets and more! I can't say enough about how welcoming the Putnam's are. (New Owners) They are there when you have a question, will help you with what you need and are very accommodating. We rented a pontoon and got to explore the lake and get some fishing in. The lake itself is great. Pretty quiet, big and great for swimming. I will recommend this place to all of my family and friends! We hope to be back next summer and enjoy Kohl's resort for even longer.

There were quite a few people for a Monday afternoon but still plenty of slots available. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well run the place was. With quite a few employees to help you play the games. A rather small eating and bar area but lots of TVs to catch all your favorite teams. I didn't take a lot of pics because I thought they might frown on that and I didn't want to get thrown out of my first casino in many many years! Lol But all in all a very pleasant experience, especially since I won 150.00 dollars.

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.
