I tried calling to make a reservation and tried negotiating the nightly rate in a nice manner. A simple no would have sufficed from the man but instead he made a rude comment about me calling the wrong place and that this resort was not like that. Its not like I was looking for an outstanding rate. The normal 150...

The title of this reviewer’s comment of “Rude Reservation” is a bit misleading. This reviewer did not have a reservation at River Point.
River Point Resort has a rate schedule in place that already offers discounted rates for different time-frames. Thus, the rate for a September reservation of a one bedroom Chalet is $150 for two persons, which does reflect...

Happy you choose River Point…thank you! And, thank you for the valuable feedback. Our mile long wilderness peninsula, set off of state highway #1 by our meandering 1.3 mile gravel drive, does provide a certain sense of calmness and peacefulness for our guests as they begin to “slow down”, as they approach River Point .
Entering into the property, and...

We had business activities in the area, and were interested in an authentic north-woods lodging experience. I’ve gone canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters many times and was looking forward to combining the best of two "worlds" -- the solitude, wildlife sightings, fresh air and beauty of the wilderness with a good bed in pleasant surroundings in nature.
The...

Thank you for enjoying River Point Resort to the fullest...and, as you say, next time give River Point Outfitting Co. a try when you want to do a Boundary Waters canoeing adventure. You can be outfitted with a complete package, including the canoes, sleeping bags, tents, packsacks, etc., plus all the food, or, if you have some of your own...

My husband and I rented a villa at the resort. My husbands mother passed away 2 days before we were supposed to check in. Riverpoint Resort was completely unwilling to accomodate us, refund, or change our date (5 days later there were unrented cabins). I understand that their policy said there were no refunds but it also stated that they...

How does one prepare for the unexpected when going on vacation? In our busy and sometimes hectic lives, it is important that your vacation investment is not compromised due to an unexpected event that potentially can impact your vacation.
That is why traveler’s insurance is so beneficial, and at River Point Resort, we strongly suggest checking into it when making...

Debra and I stayed in the "Riverview" the third week of June. Our purpose of traveling up north is to remove ourselves from the demanding and hectic work / life enviroment around Chicago.
No TV,radio,cell phones email, brought a laptop to access weather forecasts only.
Over many years of being up north on and off, the previous resorts always left...

Your comments exceeded any expectations we might have had, and we are blessed to have such wonderful and most appreciative guests stay with us. Our energetic team does work tirelessly to provide a balance...

My wife and I stayed here last week to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I made arrangements relatively late and lucked out in finding a few days open for the Wind Song Chalet. We couldn't have made a better choice.
We found everything at the resort to be very well kept. The chalet itself was built with quality and seemed...

Happy, too, that you felt welcome...because you surely...

Nancy and I had fallen in love with the Ely area several years ago, and we were looking for our perfect place. As we were heading out of town to Lake Superior one summer, she spotted a sign pointing into the forest that read "River Point Resort 1.5 miles". I'm so glad that we turned down that road because we...

We are so happy, too, that Nancy spotted our sign on highway #1 and you turned onto River Point Road several years ago to check out our resort…because we have surely loved having you as our guests for the past two years, and look forward to year number three this June. The one-bedroom Hideaway Cabin with level ground right to...

We just came home Monday from a 3-night stay for our 23rd wedding anniversary. I can honestly tell you we received nothing but gracious attention from Jane (the owner) and everyone else we encountered here. Our cabin was "The Point" and it had the privacy we wanted, a beautiful view of the water, a very nice screen porch and deck...

It was definitely our pleasure to have you as our guests once again. Whenever you need a little mental “sojourn” from your day at work you can remember “The Point” cabin with its panoramic lake views from the screen porch and sundeck and the wooded forest surrounding it…the perfect place to “enjoy the sounds and sights” of nature, sit back,...

We stayed at River Point Resort for just one night on a visit to Ely, MN and the Boundry Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). This resort is in a beautiful spot and our 2nd floor villa had a vew of the Birch Lake. They have a nice beach, and several homes/cottages with eay access to the beach. The best of all...

Thank you for the kind comments! We wish you could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the cool stuff available....the mile-long "Trail of Reflections", the complimentary kayaks, the two natural sand swim beaches, plus more of those great views to the lake from your villa. Lots of rental canoe choices and great accessibility from our location in the Superior...
