Wilderness Bay Resort

My family and I stayed at Wilderness Bay Resort this past week, and it was perfect! We spent our days fishing, paddle boating, playing pickleball, watching movies, and truly unwinding. The owners, Scott and Jen, were incredible hosts who made our stay extra comfortable and welcoming. We also took a short drive to Itasca State Park, which was an awesome experience and definitely worth the visit. The cabins were cozy, very clean, and had everything we needed. We also appreciated how friendly the other guests were, it really added to the overall experience. It was an amazing trip, and we’ll definitely be back!

My extended family rented cabins 0, 1, and 4 for a week in August and loved our time at Wilderness Bay. There was very little traffic on the lake (Little Mantrap), so we really enjoyed our pontoon rental. The fishing was poor, but it was August (when fishing is usually poor), and we didn't care. The view from the cabins was extraordinary, because the land across the bay is undeveloped. Scott and Jenn were excellent hosts and responded very quickly to any requests we made. For example, Scott repaired a board on our dock almost immediately and later equipped our pontoon with a ladder for swimming. They have a great system of clipboards to let you put firewood, snacks (including many ice cream treats!), and the purchase of necessities on your tab to pay at the end of the week. We loved

A Great Resort! The owners are Wonderful and the cabins are kept up well. The fishing is great. A Great place to vacation at. Nice quiet area, close to Itasca Park and close to Park Rapids.

My husband and I have visited Wilderness Bay Resort twice this year (and are already planning our next trip!) WBR was the perfect little oasis for our trip up north. We were really amazed at the amount of activities that guests could utilize there. We took advantage of the pickle-ball court, paddle boards, pontoon and the hydro-bikes. We love the quietness of the bay and how close we were to Itasca State Park (15min away), and downtown Park Rapids. The cabins we stayed in were so cozy and very clean. You definitely experience a sense of community during your stay. The owners treat you like family from the second you get there and the other guests were so kind and respectful. You can tell they truly want you to have a wonderful experience. From guest artwork in the office to the guestbooks

We just spent a week at Wilderness Bay Resort! Jen and Scott were so friendly and accommodating. The cabin was beautiful and extremely clean! There is so much available to do at the resort for all ages. We are already planning our next vacation! It is an absolutely beautiful and extremely relaxing resort!
