"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!

“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!

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.

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.

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 |
