25 years of ice fishing here....... The decline over the last couple of years is almost immeasurable, especially the last 2. Day 1 check-in: NO HEAT in our cabin with a windchill of -29 degrees F. One of the keys to our cabin was an uncut blank. The best they could do was give us two floor space heaters which immediately blew the fuse. The entire cabin is run on two old fashion screw in fuses that do NOT match. Back to the office and they gave us two more fuses that lasted until about 11 PM. The rest of the night was spent in our ice fishing garb to keep from dying as they refused to do anything more for our 3 person group. Day 1 fishing: So slow......they used to move us when we were set up on a bogus spot. Our driver doesn't fish.......they used to fish a bit to keep us on the fish. Those days are long gone. Day 2 fishing: Even slower fishing and they would NOT move any of the groups. Our driver forgot to drop off our lunches (meal plan) and we had to flag him down and remind him. At check-out we were given a whopping 15 % discount. Never again. After a quarter of a century ice fishing here not another penny will be spent at this dump. The restrooms in the motel side reek of urine and are filthy. The salad bar is tiny now. The food is WAY over priced, and breakfast is eggs with meat (sausage patty) or eggs without meat. NO MORE BACON?! .....WTH?! The new owners either don't know what's happening or don't care. There's more.....I have pics and video but can only post a few! Sportsman's Lodge is CLOWN SHOES!

My husband and I stayed in cabin 9 (were supposed to be in cabin 4 but was changed up when we arrived - repairs needed we were told??). Kitchen very poorly outfitted. Could use decent silverware, cooking/baking bowls and a stove with oven that worked. Found that the shower was terrible - barely had water pressure coming through it. I think a brisk rainstorm could have produced more. The cabin could’ve been cleaner overall. On check-in the manager was rather rude at first but warmed up a bit after we said we had been two years earlier. I would definitely NOT recommend a cabin here - a trappers outpost cabin is probably better outfitted. Would’ve stayed in a villa as we had the last time but they refused as we had our well-mannered dog along. He wouldn’t have bothered anything in the villa by the way. We were told by a local that the place has had four different owners over the years - hmmmm?? Anyway, fishing was okay and did bring some home. Weather was not the best with the windy conditions and chilly.

Worst bar service crabby bar tender don’t go there or you will regret it’s! We showed up and got denied drinks and our id showed we are plenty old! Had to find the right bar tender to get served and who could actually read a license! We have been coming 4 years now and won’t be back!
