“Everything was awesome, the staff was great and the fishing couldn’t have been better . We definitely will be back this summer for another fishing trip and will stay at sunset for sure.” – Kurt M "The stay was great as usual. Samantha and Travis are always such great hosts. And all the staff are phenomenal. Caught some nice fish. Brought our limit home and had a great fish dinner prepared by the staff. Thanks again!" - Jim S "We LOVED our trip….again!!! We verified that we’ve been coming up consistently since 1993 and every year it gets better! Travis and Samantha (and the entire team) do a great job of making sure we all have a great time! The fishing was fantastic but I always come away thinking the time with the family during meals and in the evening is the best part of the trip! We traveled through Winnipeg this time which was significantly easier than all the previous times when we’ve gone through Minneapolis and then drove up to Baudette. The new route made the trip much easier. Thanks again for everything….we’re already booked again for next year." - Tom H “Everything was so well organized, thanks to you. Especially considering the size of the group. Look forward to seeing you in 2027.” – Nick Walsh "We had a great time at Sunset Lodge. We really enjoyed the food and drinks, and all the staff members were helpful and welcoming. On behalf of my group, Steve Adams" "Trip was great as usual!" - Chad S "We had a wonderful time. This was the first trip for our wives fishing and our Guide Scott made everybody comfortable and that they were experts at fishing. We caught many walleyes and all were very pleased. The food at shore lunch and at the lodge was excellent. The staff and the two owners were always friendly and very accommodating. We definitely would recommend Sunset Lodge for a corporate or personal fishing experience. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.” - Stan and Bonnie J “We had a great time at Sunset Lodge. The cabin was clean and neat, the restaurant has a great staff, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Really enjoyed the fish tacos! Our guide, special Ed, did a super job finding fish and shore lunch and was really personable! I’m getting old, but the young guys hope to return. Thanks again Travis!” – Wayne H

"Thanks for another great time! As always, everything was clean and ready. JJ, Darren, and Jake all worked hard and provided good services. JJ and Darren especially went above and beyond in helping me find an item that I lost; they were genuinely concerned and searched hard for the item. Samantha always has the billing ready to go and correct when we check out. The fish dinner is incredible! Room is clean and comfortable. Thanks" - Pete "Thank you and your staff for a great fishing adventure again. My 11 year old will never forget that adventure!" - Jesse A "Always love our visit to Sunset! I'm already looking forward to next year! The food is amazing, the cabins are cozy and nice, but the people are why I love it so much and of course the fishing. Even when it's tough sledding. Special shout out to Dan, JJ, and Jake they feel like family more and more every time we come back. Even when Dan won't smile at me. I'm terrible at photos, but I caught a few! Thank you again and have an amazing year maybe we will see you in the summer this year too!! If not, see you in 2027! All my best!!" - Mindy Law "We enjoyed our stay, very good hospitality! Will be back to enjoy another stay!" - Stuart R "Thank you, Sunset Lodge, for the incredible experiences and unforgettable memories that have been made on this trip this year!

The Lyon Crew (Jeff, Jeff, Caleb, & Doug) had an Awesome time from Jeff Cullen the (Slot Machine) catching 4 slots upto 24 1/2 inches! to Jake help us set the Lake of the Woods push up record in an ice shack with 1001! Thank you to Jake, JJ, Brady, Lance, Lizzy, Jenny, Dan, and Sam! Can't wait for next year!" - JEFF "We had a blast fishing this year. Good bite and heavy buckets everyday.

I have friends that fly in for this trip and they are always impressed with the staff and fishing." - Corey L "We had an amazing trip, and the fishing was excellent. The Gents who came out to check on us were just wonderful always asking if we needed anything and we love the fact that we can get pizza now! Same thing for when we were back at the lodge, service and the field were just awesome. Can’t wait to get up there next year!" - George K Group "Had a great time as usual. Your team did a great job on everything, thanks to all the staff. See ya next year" - Kirby "We had a great time. Can't beat spending time with my son and son in law on a fishing trip. We enjoyed the accommodations. Restaurant/bar was excellent. Considering the COLD weather, the fishing was fantastic. We're looking forward to our return trip next January." - Bill Petersen, Craig Petersen, Travis Fisher "Another great visit!" - Hamilton Group "Great time ice fishing with a bunch of friends at Lake of the Woods!" - Clayton W "A great time was had by all!" - Lee Group "Travis, Sam, and Ronnie- always a joy coming up and always top notch! Thanks again!" - Tyler Hill Group  “We once again enjoyed our stay at Sunset. The staff was excellent, and all the dock helpers were very helpful, polite, and available. The wait staff in the restaurant were always on their game, friendly, and patient in getting our orders correct. Having the varied food offerings is special. Of course, Dan makes the best drinks anywhere! Everything was very clean and worked well in the cabin. Many places do not have AC, and it was big the week we were there, as it was warm. Niki does a fabulous job cleaning the cabins between guests. We are booked for two trips next year and will look for dates for the year after that. Thank you again for being such excellent hosts.” Steve Cohen, Delray Beach, FL “We absolutely loved our stay!!! The fishing was unbelievable, with us catching over 100 fish one day. We got our limit, and a bunch of perch was the best bonus. Our guide Steve was so knowledgeable and funny and made sure we had a great time!! Made an awesome shore lunch and even when I became the snag queen, he was the best and took care of me! The food was amazing! Loved meeting the chef and visiting with him. The staff is beyond wonderful- so willing to help, friendly, and make you feel right at home. They genuinely care about you and are making sure you are having the best time. Your caring attitude and making us feel like part of the resort family is why we keep coming back and will continue to! Sam and Travis are the best hosts and can’t wait to come back next year!!!” Mary Jo Leber, Tea, SD “It was another great trip to Sunset Lodge last week. The condo we had was very nice and clean, and as usual, the staff treated us like kings! We caught a lot of fish, walleyes, smallmouth bass, and pike, but the musky fishing was tough this year. We did get one big one. Can’t wait to get back there again next year. Thanks again for everything!” Dan Jacobson, Cleveland, Ohio “It was a good trip. Food was awesome. Great hospitality by the dock boys and all bar staff. Fishing was the best we’ve had since coming up. Thank you.” Kyle S, Bemidji, MN  “We had a great time and everyone was amazing.” – Andy D “Simple, necessary and social. That is how I would describe this off the beaten path recluse. Tucked away amid 14,452 islands in the Lake of the Woods, this lodge has all the things to make a memorable trip. Built for fishing, the lodge is a prime location to shove off into the open wilderness. With plenty of experienced guides that really know their stuff a few days of lake fishing punctuated with a shore lunch should be on your list. Besides that it is pretty straight forward and simple but the combo of a cozy lodge with good music and meals (made like you were in your mom's kitchen) will make it a wonderful social experience. Whether it family, friends, or colleagues this is a place to truly disconnect with technology and reconnect with human being. Don't worry, there is enough connectivity to get a sports game or TV show. It takes a minute to get there but it pays in spades after you are done.” – Jason W, Yelp review "Thank you for another enjoyable weekend. Spent Friday to Monday at your resort and your customer service is absolutely a difference. The immediate response on requests, having our boat ready, being willing to point out fishing spots etc.., it all adds up." - Chuck M "Thanks for the great accommodations. Staffing was excellent, food was excellent, and fishing was great too. My 11-year-old grandson could not get enough of all the fishing opportunities. We would come in from a long day of fishing in Canadian water, and he would cast off the dock and pick up another northern. He did not want to quit until it was dark. Looking forward to next summer doing it all over again. Thanks to all of you." - Mark K, Bismark, ND “We had an absolutely fantastic time. Your staff was amazing. Absolutely love the dock situation and how helpful and available the guys were to help dock our boats. The weather was incredible and the fishing was good. Lots of big northerns and plenty of Walleyes. Thanks” – Skip S, Ramsey, MN Sunset Lodge Guest Feedback | March 2025 “Great time as always. Appreciate everything you all do to make it an awesome trip everytime.” – Corey L, Sartell, MN “Thank you again for another incredible week. It was another amazing trip, filled with some great fishing, food, and camaraderie. The week flew by very quickly, and I’m already counting down the days until our return.” – Brandon S “If you are looking for a fishing trip check out Sunset Lodge on LOTW! The fishing is top notch! The workers are even better! Not to mention the food is excellent! Can't wait to see you guys again! Big thanks to Travis Palmquist and the crew!” – Ryan M "Always a fun trip! 27” walleye and 39.5” pike." - The Tieskotter Group "Thanks again for everything, we had a great trip." - Brent L, Owatonna, MN “Thanks for the great memories!

Had a great time fishing with you guys.” Kirby P  “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! Super friendly staff!” – Ben V, Pequot Lakes, MN “Thank you for everything. Everyone had a blast, and the food at the restaurant was very good. We’d like to rebook for next year.” – Colt S, Elk River, MN "Guys, we had another GREAT time at Sunset Lodge! Big fish! Full limits and great accommodations! But most importantly, Sam and Travis are just a joy! It’s been 10 to 15 years since we first ventured to the northern part of the lake, and we have never regretted our time! 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. We toured Lake of the Woods by Seadoo and made Sunset a one-night stop. Highly recommended.” daryln682  |
