My wife, three small children, and me had a wonderful time at Paul's resort. He is very accommodating and always available to help. My kids loved playing with his kids, and they had a blast out on the sand bar at the end of the dock. My Dad was allowed to bring his boat to Paul's dock and even use his boat lift so the boat wouldn't get beat up by waves and the dock. We were a little disappointed that we did not get a lake front view from our porch, which was what our expectation was going in based on the listing descriptions, but there are a few cabins that line the road rather than the lake, luck of the draw I suppose. Nonetheless, we spent much of the time on the beautiful 3 season porch with lots of peaceful nature surrounding us.
The property has several beautifully renovated cabins with excellent beds, and also a large cabin that Paul and his family stay in. The landscaping and grounds are immaculate. It is very peaceful, quiet, and secluded. That being said, not a lot of distance from Paul and his family, which was not a problem for us, we loved interacting with them. Paul strikes a very good balance of being present and available on the property but allowing for good privacy as well.
This is certainly a family oriented resort that is great for children. Probably not great for a bachelor party type of stay, quiet time begins at 10pm and the cabins are very close to each other. But it certainly would be great for a fishing weekend if you want a quiet place to go to bed early and wake up for fishing at dawn. Also of note, the resort is on the lake in Minnesota, which, if you're not familiar with the area, means lots of bugs. However, if you don't mind taking care of the occasional spider, wearing mosquito repellent in the evenings while outside, and swatting away some flies, then you will certainly not be disappointed.
Paul is an truly great host. Always available to help with anything. He let us use all of his amenities including the game cabin, fire pit, grill, dock, boat lift, and beach with picnic table and recliner chairs. We would definitely stay again and will cherish the memories we made at Paul's resort. I highly recommend this place for any family with children.
