“Besides the remarkable sunsets, it is Sunset lodge, the staff made the stay great! Travis and Corey forgot more about fishing Lake of the Woods then most anyone will ever know. Moreover, they are happy to share it with their guests. Our cabin was clean and comfortable! The food was fantastic! My highest recommendation to anyone considering a trip to the Lake of the Woods!” – Nick S

We made reservations for next year God willing we will see you then.” – Steve “We had a great experience at Sunset Lodge. We've been to other res orts and found the staff to very accommodating. The bombardier driver's were extra accommodating. Jake picked us up and got us set up to fish an extra half day. Corey set us up with a tip up hole to fish for Northern, and Lance Jr. kept our minnow buckets full. Of course Travis was there to check on us every day. We had fresh walleye apps the first night that were fabulous, and the wait staff in the bar treated us like Kings. Overall great experience for the 3 days we were there. We are planning to come back again next year. Thought you would like to see some pics from our trip.” – Jim K “We had a great time. The staff was friendly and food was great.

Would he be willing to give up the details??" Jim M "Staff is second to none. Extremely friendly and helpful." - Shawn Madsen "The service was absolutely great! Very friendly staff; Merrily and Linda really hit it off. We want to come back next winter for sure. The food was terrific (kudos to the chef) and there was plenty of it.

You folks are doing a wonderful job." - Art & Merrily “Sunset lodge is the premier fishing Lodge on Lake of the Woods. What can I say, Sam and Travis do it all. The blue berries on my breakfast plate was really cool! Nice touch! The entire staff is fantastic!! Can hardly wait for the ice season! You guys are awesome!” – Jim Y
"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 “We had terrible weather the two and half days we were there. Despite the bad weather, we were treated great. Everyone from the dock boys taking care of us in the rain, to fantastic service in the bar and lodge. We are currently in the process of selecting the times next year that we plan on coming up there again. We have nothing but good to say about our stay at Sunset Lodge and will definitely be back.” - Scott Z
"As always, Sunset Lodge is second to none. The customer service is top notch, facilities are great, and the fishing was awesome. Even after adverse weather and a cold front the fishing remained very strong. Thanks again for the great trip to the Angle!!" - Jason A "We had an awesome trip! Sunset Lodge did not disappoint with comfortable lodging, great food, and outstanding customer service! The walleye bite was constant, despite the strong winds. We look forward to our next trip!" - Steve P "The trip was great! Facilities were fantastic, fishing was really good, I thought the service was fantastic. Corey especially did a great job!

Keep up the good work and hope to see you next year." - Joe S “Just a note of thanks for the staff at Sunset. Food was great!! Beverages were cold!!. As always Samantha and Travis were great hosts. Megan makes the process of getting there absolutely seamless. Forest kept us on fish for both days we were there. Can’t wait to be there again next year!” – Tony P “Positives: beautiful lodge and setting, great staff working the harbor and tending bar, excellent fishing. Negatives: refrigerator much too small for four guys in Cabin A, couldn’t watch Twins games in our cabins, TV remote didn’t function properly. The reasons I chose your resort over some of your competition for this trip was it was closer to our fishing destination, perceived ability to watch the games in our cabin, and ability (unneeded) to use air conditioning in the cabin.” – Blaine B “A big THANK YOU to you and the staff. We had a great stay, great fishing (despite the weather) and great meetings. Service is your focus without sounding to cliché. That is very important. We have stayed at other resorts in the area and no one is more hands on than your staff! One constructive comment would be the beds. A few of the beds in our cabin sluffed to one side making it tough on bigger guys like myself. We will go out on the different social media forums and give you a good review this week. We will also gather pictures for you to post. Thanks again, Bart” “We had a great trip again this year. Staff was great. No suggestions. We will be back. Also appreciated we were able to purchase a Marine battery for our trolling motor.” - Bruce “We had a great trip! The weather was warm and the fish were biting. Once again the staff at the lodge were great! The food was very good! This year we had two new guys that were along for the trip. They were impressed with the lodge and service. We didn’t take much for pictures this year.. Again we thank Sunset Lodge for another great fishing and vacation trip. We will be back next year! Thanks Again.” – Rick A “This place is awesome!” – Alex D “Everything is exceptional!” – Brandi J “Grand staff.” – Bob L
“Sunset Lodge is our choice for fishing on Lake of the Woods it's a great place with excellent docking facilities for your boat with a protected harbor. I can only speak for the 3 cabins our group has used since we started coming but those are always clean and have been updated recently and are even nicer than when we started coming here about 5 years ago. We have always used the housekeeping plan and bring a lot of our own food and drink for the week however this year we started eating more meals in the lodge restaurant and the food and ladies and guys working there are great folks always helpful and friendly and lot of them are fisherman to and can give ya some great tips for where to start your fishing trip. You can't go wrong with Sunset Lodge on Oak Island as your destination. There are some beautiful sunsets and sites and oh yeah fishing.” – Mr. H "Thanks again for a great time! The staff was wonderful, friendly and extremely helpful. We had Scott Kempenich as our guide and he is amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!" - Nate & Bill K “Best Fishing Resort ever been to people are very nice and respectful place is kept up very well and reasonable prices.” – Erik F “Had a great time at Sunset Lodge! Great fishing, friendly staff, good food and drink. Great views of the lake from the balcony. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.” – Samson P “We had a great time at Sunset this year Samantha and the staff were great food was excellent plan on coming back next year.” – Steve T “What a beautiful spot! Truly a home away from home. The main lodge is beautiful and cozy. Breakfast is affordable and delicious home cooking. We had snacks and bar food in the evening which were better than expected. Also great drink specials everyday! The staff treats you like family 😊 The cabin we stayed in was cozy and quaint with everything you need. And you can’t beat the views of the lake and all the wildlife! I can’t wait to get back here again next year!” – Callie N “Lodging was great, cozy but enough room for our needs. The lodge bar was nice, friendly staff, great food - the American plan was the way to go all-inclusive Guide service was helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. We caught fish!!! Highly recommend. “ – Lonnie K “It was great!” – Tom B “Everything was great except for the fishing.” – Doug B “Best fishing, summer and winter on Lake of the Woods in the Northwest Angle (Angle Inlet), Minnesota.” – Phil W “Superb customer service/experience. Fantastic bar with good food. I’ll be back.” – Mark H “Great fishing, great views, awesome people, awesome place.” – Samson P “Our 3 day stay was very enjoyable. The beds were comfortable the cabin was clean and we really were fortunate to have Ray as our guide. He was organized, had a comfortable and clean boat to cut the waves and excellent fishing equipment. He is a valuable asset to your lodge. The one complaint that we had was the food, the portions were too much which some food went to waste. Some of the fried food didn't agree with my one son. If we were to do this again we would order off the menu.” – Ron K “Awesome resort in a great fishing area. Dock hands were great. We enjoyed having a screened in area to fry our fish as well.” – Buck Meagher

“Top notch resort. Fantastic food and great people.” – Ryan W “Went and had dinner and drinks with friend who turned 80. Great time, wonderful service. Beautiful atmosphere.” – Scott S “Our group of 8 had a fantastic time here last week. The staff are very pleasant and friendly, the sunsets were beautiful and the fishing could not have been better. The accommodations were very comfortable and well stocked - we cooked all of our meals over the 5 day stay. The breakwater kept my boat safe as well. We've stayed at other resorts in the NW Angle but we'll certainly come back here.” – John A "Our first time at Sunset was a great one! We were greeted at the dock by the dock staff and our gear was loaded up on a golf cart and brought to our cabin. The food was excellent, beyond our expectations! We were full the whole time during our stay. Great bartenders and wait staff. Dan is like a comedian behind the bar. The guys gave us a heads up on some shallow rock areas to stay away from and some tips on fishing spots. We caught lots of fish with some spots close to the lodge. Sam does a great job. A very hard working group, and it shows. Looking forward to the next trip. See ya soon" - Meagher group "Our group of 4 felt appreciated and served by friendly people who shared good spots to fish. We liked it! They met us at Dock and loaded our stuff right into Cabin. Then we wanted to grill and delivered a grill Right to deck on cabin. Positive experience.” – Robert
“We are totally in love with this Resort! Cory, Dan and Travis came running when we arrived to help us unload and get to our cabin. The food and drinks at the lodge were great! Fishing was phenomenal. Took a guided day trip with Travis and had such a great time! Caught fish, had a delicious shore lunch and got in a full day! Happy hour at the bar is fun! We booked for next year the first day here!” – Eileen M "They met us at dock with a golf cart and loaded our stuff into our cabin, then pointed us to possible fishing spots which were very good. They are friendly and very hospitable. If you want to feel welcome and appreciated then look no further. We liked it." - Bob and David Ellies James Bocinsky and Ray Urban |
