“Travis and team Sunset! We had a great trip - despite the sub-subzero temperatures. Shout out to Jordan for "rescuing" us and resolving a hitch failure on the ice. Your staff are always incredible, and the food was excellent! See you next week for another trip with a bigger group.” - Fred N, Stillwater, MN “We had a fabulous time at the lodge! We were very impressed by JJ's friendliness and fishing knowledge. Plus, Nolan was great to visit with after returning from the ice house! Thank you to all of your wonderful staff for a great trip!” – Gary & Mandy F, Hinckley, MN "The Noteboom party had a great time at Sunset Lodge! Thanks again. See you next year!' - Tim N, Moorhead, MN "Sam and Travis-Thank you for another great weekend up at Sunset Lodge! Cindy, Paul, Jim, and I really enjoyed ourselves and are excited to visit again next January! One of the things I enjoy the most is not only the awesome fishing, but the fish fry you make with the fish we catch! I wish I had taken a picture of it when it arrived at our table. What a delicious feast! Thanks again for a fantastic fishing adventure!" - Theresa Taraldsen, Hermantown, MN “Great stay as always!

God Bless and wishes for a happy new year!! - Rich, Austin and Christian Bray, Chanhassen, MN   “Thank you for everything. Everyone had a blast, and the food at the restaurant was very good.

Excellent accommodation from being met at the dock, boat parking, staff friendliness, choice of food/drink, and cabin comfort. Great place for fishermen, families, and explorers like us.

Highly recommended.” daryln682  “Your dock hands did a great job and the restaurant staff did a great job.” – Jim Stein “Thanks for the great hospitality earlier this week.

Everyone had a great time and we caught a wide variety of fish which was fun. 3 of the group have rarely ever ice fished since from Texas and Ohio. Staff was top notch as always and add to the overall experience. Here are some pics from fishing with Scotty Saturday and then the Muskie Sunday fishing with you guys. Thanks for everything." - Corey" "Thanks for the great fishing." - Doug Ollom "Hope to come back in March." - Brian "Hi - it was another great trip to Sunset lodge! The room was great, the food was great, and the staff was especially attentive. And, we caught a bunch of fish! Even though we were there to fish for muskies, we also caught a lot of walleyes, smallmouth bass and pike. Plus, we saw 3 bears! Our muskie were 51”, 47”, 46”, 2 that were 40” and a couple of smaller ones. We can’t wait to get back there in August! Thanks for everything." - Dan Jacobson “Oh my gosh.........where do I start? It started with a call. I told Travis that my 85 year old father with tons of physical problems wanted to go fishing. He had previously fished at Sunset Lodge and remembered having a good experience. I told Travis what his needs would be and asked if they could accommodate. Travis was immediately on top of it. He told me when the best time would be to come, what cabin they could put them in, etc. The trip came to fruition this past weekend, and it went so much better that we even anticipated. They had even built a ramp to help get my dad in the cabin! Every single person at the Lodge was so helpful and wonderful.....from the dock boys to the guides to the restaurant staff! The guides went above and beyond helping my family have the trip of a lifetime! They caught their limit in fish, had the perfect shore lunch and brought plenty of fish home. The night meals were awesome.....especially my dad's favorite PRIME RIB! I am so grateful for all of the staff. The weather was perfect and the bugs weren't bad at all! I CANNOT RECOMMEND SUNSET LODGE ENOUGH! THEY WERE AMAZING! I am forever a fan of SUNSET LODGE!!!!! This is a picture of my dad's head on my husband's body with one of his fish(my dad requested the pic......I love it, and look at the smile!” - Shelly Schmitt “Fantastic resort! Clean cabins, great food. Exceptional staff. Been coming for years and they are hitting on all cylinders!” – Tom Clements “Spent last week on Lake of the Woods at Sunset Lodge with Tim Rehn, Tim Junkert, and John(Cindy Dean). If you’re ever thinking about a trip to the Northwest Angle and Oak Island the crew at Sunset Lodge are the best. Sam & Travis and their crew were great. We’ve had our annual trip to LotW the last 7-8 years now at Sunset and they always exceed expectations. If you ever go ask the big goofy guy pretending to be a bartender for a Danhatten” – Brian Halgrimson  Fishing Trip 2023 "OH my gosh.........where do I start? It started with a call.

Nolan and Spike were the best, and dock service was fantastic. Enjoyed sharing conversation and a bit of our fish fry with Ronnie. We asked, and got good and honest advice on fishing the area as we were learning a new part of the lake which we had never been. Beautiful setting and relaxing, loved the resort. We had a great time!" - Jeff & Crystal “Fantastic resort! Clean cabins, great food. Exceptional staff.
