Just returned from a lovely weekend at Totem Point Lodge. Yet another great stay at this cottage/fishing resort. I know I can expect top quality service and exceptional clean cottages every time we come up to stay. Rick,Lily, Bruce and staff are so friendly and approachable. They always make us feel welcome and take time for a chat to catch up…. Fishing was great too! Love to hear the children playing at the resort. Great place for families and fishers alike. See you in October when we will stay for 10 nights. Can’t wait! Carrie and Charlie Jenks

The hosts, Rick and Lily, as well as all their staff were so accomodating and helpful. Even out dog Sadie couldn't walk by the office without being offered a treat :) The housekeeping cottage was immaculate, and well equipped, with a great view of the river. As a family, we came here for a great fishing experience, but came away with so much more. Had an absolutely wonderful time. We'll be back!

This lodge was absolutely beautiful, clean and had mostly great staff. However we felt very uncomfortable after hearing very loud racist and obscene comments coming from the lodges house keeper/cook while cleaning a cabin after a family left. We felt so bad for the other girl that had to clean with her. Having to work along side that negativity must be toxic. Originally we were going to plan a family trip after our stay but after hearing those comments we would not bring our family as long as that individual still worked there. It completely ruined our trip. On a good note the location is beautiful, the cabins and bathroom are very clean and the owners are extremely nice and opening. We hope that the bad apple dosnt cause them problems.

The people, the Lodge, and the FOOD :) just fabulous . A family and fishermen's paradise. Just got back last night and booking a Musky hunt for next week :) We booked a guide who really knew his craft and all the best Musky and Walleye locations . All bait and gear was supplied by the guide but took some of my favorite rods and tackle.

This was our first time here and is was awesome. The owners were very nice. Our cabin was facing the river nice view. Our cabin was very comfortable had everything we needed for our stay. We took the American package which includes all meals included in the price we paid. The meals were breakfast, lunch to go and supper. Awesome meals and lots on your plate. Lunch to go was 2 sandwiches, beverages,fruit and cookies. In a cooler and ice pack that was awesome. We want to thank the owners for an awesome vacation everything was great we will be back thank you. Carole

New owner's. Not the same welcome wagon. Very disrespectful and by far our worst visit to the area. We will detour around this place on our next visit. Also not pet friendly. So many other places around with open arms to welcome you to the area. Won't stay there
