“Great food and service Thanks Ronnie.” – Roger S
“Thanks for a great trip!” – Mark A "Our fishing 10 day trip to Sunset Lodge was a five star event. Having never visited Lake of the Woods before, we were not sure what to expect as far as accommodations, food, equipment and fishing. When we arrived by shuttle boat, the dock crew led by Cory and Ethan greeted us and quickly transported all our luggage up to our cabin. Upon entering our cabin which was clean and rustic, we found the the room had a TV, internet and air conditioning, talk about roughing it in the North Woods!! We walked up to the lodge/restaurant bar and checked in and were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders named Dan you could meet. Dan and Megan were on duty every evening taking care of us and made us feel so welcome. At breakfast, Megan and Linda were always at our table with coffee and our order. What great meals we enjoyed each day especially prepared by the lodges culinary chef Kristen and Alex. Now after all these preliminary items, the real reason we visited was for the fishing which exceeded our expectations. The fishing for all species especially musky and walleye was equal to any fly in camp I know. We caught fish every day on the Minnesota side, and had three incredible fish fry's for dinner. The musky were cooperating and we caught them up to 47 inches. Overall we can't say thank you enough to our hosts Travis and Samantha for making this one our best fishing trips EVER."

"Sunset Lodge on Lake of the Woods was fantastic, as always! Great food, fishing, and fun." - Perry Good “Our trip was a great one. Having to leave a day early was unfortunate but the people we were with have health issues and we felt it the best to leave when we did. The staff at the lodge was exceptionally good. They were very accommodating and helpful. Hope to be able to return in the future.” - Jim and Colleen J “It was great!” – Guy V “Great time good people great resort.” – Brian R

We got to spend the last week of July with the Sunset Lodge crew. We had a fantastic time. A great first day with Corey as our guide, we caught a bunch of walleye and he showed us spots to fish the rest of the week. Their rental boats were top notch. We boated 2 muskies and lost 2 more. The food was fantastic, the staff is awesome and the lodge is great cool hangout with a mix of guests and locals. We will be back.” – Buffalobolt (TA review) “Excellent service, good food, beautiful bar with a great view.” – Jon S
“I had to change plans since Canada was still closed and we had a great experience at Sunset Lodge. This was the first fishing trip for my son and I and we really enjoyed Sunset Lodge. The staff is outstanding and are definitely fit for the service industry! The food at the lodge did not disappoint either, all of our meals were great! They hooked us up with a great guide as well! Super fun experience!” – Brandi W “John and I had another great time at Sunset Lodge. All the staff is awesome, the food is great and the fishing was excellent!. John caught this 48 inch Muskie casting a big buck tail.” Thank you, Bill and John Henning “Great time visiting and having lunch! Not to mention the most handsome helpful dock boy Nolan.” - Allie E “A big Thank You to Sam, Doocy, Mugsy, Travis, Bree, the dock kids and all the rest of the Sunset staff for taking good care of my groups off the lake during our stays in the Angle. Great service and a great atmosphere for docking, dining and cocktailing. Special Thanks to Sam for the great shore lunch she and her crew provided to our off-the-lake group in their pavilion. Great service by great people. We'll be back!!” – Lyle H “Couldn't fish in Manitoba so we chose LOTW and Sunset Lodge. All 6 of us agreed it was a great trip. Boats were great and lodging was good (didn't spend time in the bar or restaurant but we probably should have!!) We caught plenty of walleye for dinner (we did our own cooking) and the fry house was great. Caught 17 Northerns greater than 35' (40, 40, 41, 41, 42) and lost a very large Musky. Thanks to Travis, Corey and Nolan for all the fishing tips, fish cleaning, and help with the boats. Especially Nolan who couldn't seem to do enough for us.” – Brett C “A great little place. We didn't stay there but I rented a boat from them and Travis was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. Went there for drinks a few nights and the food is good and the drinks are even better. Great spot in the middle of nowhere.” – Tim K “We had a great time. Definitely will be back.” – Ryan H “Couldn't fish in Manitoba so we chose LOTW and Sunset Lodge.

The host knows how to cater for fisherman, he was ready at the dock every morning with bait and fuel, and when we left all our fish were frozen and neatly packaged ready to go. The cabin we stayed in was clean and well furnished. I hope to visit again soon!” – Donald R “Beautiful place. Awesome people.” – Christopher T “Great food and service, clean updated cabins, awesome views.” – Chad T “The most wonderful fishing trip I’ve ever taken. Nice, clean, comfortable and charming cabins. Beautiful lodge/restaurant/bar with great food and drink. Well equipped and clean Lund fishing boats in perfect working order. (Great fishing!). Beautiful setting- gorgeous sunsets. The best thing about Sunset Lodge is the people who run it. You’ve never met happier, more gracious people who thrive on making your stay wonderful. I’ve never been moved to write a review before. The folks at Sunset Lodge make it place you want to go back to. Great value. The boat shuttle across the lake from Sportsman’s Lodge is a perfect solution to the closed Canadian border.” – Ron R “Thanks again for your hospitality.” Gary D “Awesome first time experience up in lake of the woods staff and guides very knowledgeable and willing to help you out for catching fish 10/10 recommend” – Dustin P

From the setting to the staff. Awesome setting to fish from. Fishing was great despite not being able to go into Canada. Food was great & the people are great too. The hospitality was the best.

handled. Big Thank You to Travis, Samantha, Cory, Scotty, Dan, Mugsy...you guys all made our trip fantastic!" - Dean H "Hi guys, Our stay was fantastic.

Travis was on top of everything and we will be back.” – Ben O “Love this place” – B Tran "We had a great time. Can’t say enough about the service that began when we first inquired about a guided fishing trip. We received an email in less than 24 hours with possible dates and within a half hour our cabin, a guide, and shuttle service were booked. It was our first time in the Angle and the staff at Sunset were flexible and readily available. Our guide, Cory, was the best..put us on the fish." Thanks so much....Gary & Rita A and Doris “We had a great time. Thanks again” – Mike M “We all had a great time. Great accommodations, great staff and Linda was a great waitress and her friendliness made us feel right at home. Hope to come back again soon. I have to check with the guys as to what their plans are if any for next year. The guides were great both Cory and Andy. Very knowledgeable. Tell everyone thanks again.” – Gary O “My group of 10 had to 'call an audible' and find a new location for our annual fishing trip when COVID closed the Canadian border. We chose Sunset Lodge on Oak Island and had a FANTASTIC time. Samantha, Cory, Megan and literally the entire staff were so accommodating and nice. Fishing was great. The meal plan was great. The accommodations were great. We especially enjoyed being on the west side of Oak Island for the sunsets and extended daylight. We will be back!” - Mike D “I absolutely loved my time there, I haven’t been that relaxed and had that much fun in a long time, I loved the family type super laid back culture there, all the staff were extremely nice and helpful, im already working on dates to try and come back in august!” – Josh A “Great people and great food.” – Dean E
