Shores of Leech Lake — Hotel in Park Rapids

From reservations this place was a win. My family loves walker but only take 3 or 4 days for vacations. Most cabin rentals have week requirements or check in on a certain day, a lot more flexibility here! The cabins were super clean and not only fully stocked but had awesome add on like coffee and charcoal included, little add on you never get are awesome to get. They had reasonable boat rentals and lots of room for kids to run around. When we went the swimming beach was super windy and too cold to really enjoy. It worked out fine though because the cabins face the other direction on the point and have private docks. We ended up spending most of our time jumping off and swimming right outside or cabin, and having the playground right in front of cabin. We like to try new resorts each year instead of just going back to the same place, but this was the first place we really wanted to go back to again. Our favorite...

It must have been serendipity which lead me to chance a late-evening call to Shores of Leech Lake, needing just a one-night stay in passing through the Walker MN area. I could not have been more blessed with the experience I had. Upon arriving to the the resort, I boneheadedly backed my 36’ motor home into a shallow ditch in the dark, but a knock on the door of the lodge produced owner Mitch, who was not deterred from grabbing his pickup and tow strap, and along with another seasonal resident’s pickup, were able to free me from my predicament and lead me graciously directly to my assigned space. There are only a handful of open spaces, but they are wide and have easy-access hookups, even in the dark. In the morning I was greeted with coffee, muffins, and friendly seasonal guests at the lodge. I cannot more highly recommend this family-run campground,...

Absolutely unbelievable place. The folks that run this place (Mitch and his wife) are just the nicest, most wonderful folks you'll ever meet. The cabins are perfect cabins - amazing views right on the lake, easy access to everything you need to have a wonderful stay, and they simply couldn't be any cuter. We spent a weekend here at the end of the summer with some friends and we wanted to stay a week. Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunrises right out your front window, easy boat rental, very nice firewood, and all the kitchen stuff you need to make your meals. Our cabin (#2) was huge - dining room table easily big enough for our group of six to play games all night. There's a group of folks that hang out each evening by the main lobby - grillin and chillin and having a grand old time. One of the very best weekends away that...
