5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

The owners are very accommodating. The cabin that we stayed in for three nights was much nicer than what would be expected in the wilderness of the BWCA. A screened in porch and another with a roof over it where we enjoyed the comfortable chairs (three feet from the lake's edge) while watching the rain fall. An absolutely beautiful area,... More

We came in at 2am and they left the light on with directions and the key to our guesthouse. The breakfast was delicious and our outfitter had everything organized and ready to go. The staff was friendly and helpful. We have titled this post "oh Gloria" because of the incredible homecooked treats that Gloria made for us. Our first dinner... More

A group of friends contacted Clearwater Canoe Outfitters & Lodge for our BWCA trip. We needed to rent canoes and find an epic route for our BWCA adventure. They gave us the best advice we could ask for to get away from the main routes and navigate to a remote place in the BWCA. They have the most friendly and... More

My husband and I stayed at Clearwater Lodge in August of this year for a week. Our small but perfectly serviceable cabin had a view looking down Clearwater lake. It felt like we had a slice of paradise. We could enjoy the spectacular view from our cabin deck or a sitting area next to the cabin. There is also a... More

My brother and I have camped for years, but we had never done a BWCA trip which we have always wanted to do. Selecting Clearwater Lodge was a great choice since we had an excellent trip. We had our trip fully outfitted through the resort and it made the preparation for the trip super easy since all we had to... More

I used Clearwater Lodge as an outfitter for my recent trip to the Boundary Waters based on the recommendation of a friend who was there several years ago. Although the Lodge recently changed hands, the new owners certainly maintained the friendly, personalized service that the prior owners were known for. We were well fed and outfitted for our Boundary Waters... More

This is our families "cabin in the woods" which we have visited for 23 years. The place is ideal for your first or 23rd visit to the BWCA. The new owners have kept the history and traditions of the lodge, and have put in lots of hard work and money into the up kept of the boats, cabins and lodge.... More

The owners are friendly and outgoing; obviously they like people and take pride in the historic, charming resort. The breakfast was delicious and satisfying, leaving us with a feeling of well-being as we headed into the BWCA.

We stayed overnite in one of the lodge's cozy bunkhouses, on our way into the Boundary Waters. The owners and staff were so accommodating and friendly. Our huge breakfast of homemade buttermilk pancakes, plus fruit, scones and sausage was delicious. We recommend you try Clearwater Lodge, with its beautiful historic lodge and lovely site. The new owners have worked hard... More
