★★★★☆ 4.0 Ricke Englund · Feb 2026

We went to the lodge during winter so things were pretty quiet,but we had a great time ice fishing. The cabins were fairly dated but very comfortable and clean. We'll definitely come back again.

We stayed at Smitty's for only one night because we had already rented a cottage and it wasnt ready until Sat. We called and they were happy to take our reservation. They explained that they fixed meals there and because we were too late to make a reservation, we would have to eat in town. We made reservations for breakfast, met new people, and had a great meal. The fishing for smallmouths was good and the lake was beautiful. It is primitive, but great people and what a fun experience. Would like to go there again to fish.

one of the best places to start a bwca trip. prices for canoes are very reasonable and its right down the road from the entry point. they offer everything you need if you dont have the gear for good prices.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ross Mau · Aug 2025

Great starting point for a trip to the BWCA. Staff were helpful and friendly. Our group just rented canoes and stayed overnight, but it appeared they had everything else you'd need for a successful trip. Rooms were clean, canoes were fast 😊

★★★★★ 5.0 Beth McDonald · Aug 2025

Super lovely staff with lots of good advice for our first canoe camping trip. We did our permit and outfitting with them, as well as a night in the motel beforehand (very comfy, cabin vibes). Snowbank Lake is tricky if the winds pick up, but we still had a great time!
