My husband and I and our 3 boys stayed in the Douglas Lodge Suites for 3 nights in May. The suites consist of a very small living room with a couch and a chair, TV, a full kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom with two double beds. We brought a cooler up with us so the kitchen came in handy so... More

We found this place to be very special. Built in the early 1900s but how they keep it so nice is hard to believe. Probably the nixes gift shop we have been in. Once inside take a minute to study the stone work. We stayed in cabin 11, very quiet and away from the lodge. Inside you think you are... More

We are frequent visitors to Itasca Park and Douglas Lodge. Whenever we are there we get a sense of peace from the beautiful scenery. The Lodge is a must on any trip to Itasca Park. The food is great, you can have a glass of Minnesota wine, and a decadent desert. The staff are very friendly and you can watch... More

We ate dinner at the lodge tonight. It was very nice. The setting is extraordinary. Our meals were interesting and tasty. In our group, we had two different pasta dishes and one person had the BBQ ribs. Pasta dishes were satisfying.. The ribs were wonderful. Emily, our waitperson was friendly and attentive. This is a lodge in the northwoods. Don't... More

My husband and I stayed 2 nights in the Itasca suites, which is a six-plex within walking distance to the lodge. It was log cabin style with a living area, small kitchen, bathroom, 1 bedroom, and a screened porch. It also had an additional sink in the bedroom area which was nice and meant we each had our own sink... More

We stayed in Douglas Cabin #15 - which was the very last one. We choose this as we like to have privacy. It was myself, my husband and two kids (ages 9 & 12). We loved our cabin right away - it was nicer than I was expecting! One bedroom, bathroom, and living room. It had nice furniture, very clean... More

Of course this place is not posh, but it is a pleasure to experience nonetheless. Our room was small, as was the bed, but it was very clean (and air conditioned). We shared 3 bathrooms (2 with showers) with 7 other rooms (3 of the 10 rooms have their own bathrooms), but this was not a problem--we never had to... More

My husband and I stayed in the 4-plex unit adjacent to lodge, in a log cabin-style room with a screened sitting area, fireplace, dressing area, and bathroom. Accommodations were very clean and comfortable, relaxing and rustic. LL Bean meets Little House on the Prairie. I wish it had been cooler, I would have taken advantage of the free wood and... More

Pack your cooler this place isn't worth it. When we got there we were waiting to be seated at the front (the restraunt was not on a wait). The manager finally came over and acted as hostess and said let me see if we have anything. There were 3 clean tables within plain sight. As he returned a minute later... More

I did not stay at this hotel, but do not go to the restaurant! I have never had such terrible service. We waited about 20 min and were seated. We waited another 15 for them to take our order. After 35 minutes, they had not bought our drinks. When we told them we were leaving, they did not bother to... More
