Traveled to this lodge during the past summer with my daughter and her husband. We stayed in Cabin 3. The lake was beautiful, I had never been to Minnesota and was amazed at the beauty. We didn't even fish, but we loved being on the lake. I enjoyed spending time in the lodge and hearing some of the old stories,... More

My family (all 21 of us) really enjoyed our Boundary Water experience at Clearwater Lodge. 9 did the whole experience by canoeing in, but the rest stayed in the cabins. Very nice cabins. Rustic feel, but updated. Supplied with all living items needed to cook with, clean soft towel to shower with. We did this trip in July. We fished,... More

Long overdue: Our group of three men took Room A from July 2 - July 5. This was our first visit the boundary waters area. We saw a Moose. We ate pie. We ate one of those big flat fish that are popular up there — and look on a plate like a flayed tennis racket. We paddled about in... More

Our family spent the first week of September in cabin 8, beautiful location and very comfortable accommodations. The cabin has recent modifications to the bathroom, has many new appliances, is well supplied with dishes, utensils, etc, is very nicely furnished, and is wonderfully private. The service is very good as well. We ate breakfast at the lodge one morning, awesome... More

Two girlfriends and I traveled to the Clearwater Lodge for a girls' getaway weekend in September 2012 - two of us came from Texas to join a friend who lives in MSP. Everything was perfect! Our cabin was spacious, clean and charming, with a rustic feel but an updated and lovely bathroom and kitchen area, and a screened-in porch/dining area... More

We've stayed at a lot of cabins, done a lot of canoeing and hiking, and seen a lot of territory. Clearwater Lodge exceeded our expectations and more than fulfilled our hopes. The cabin was clean, warm and very comfortable. With the lake at our doorstep, we enjoyed gorgeous views. Inside, all the kitchen supplies were matching and the sheets were... More

The stress of life had been getting to me so I needed an escape, and since I had never visited the Boundary Waters, I decided it was finally time. I could speak at length about the beauty of the area and all it has to offer, but this is a review of the lodge. Thankfully, the lodge is right at... More

Clearwater lodge was an enchanting escape into the majestic wilderness of the BWCA. The owners make you feel extremely welcome and are a great resource on the history of the lodge as well as the many activities to do on the lake itself and in the surrounding area. Our stay there was wonderful an we will definitely be returning.

Everything about Clearwater lodge is fantastic. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The cabins Have all been recently updated. Although fishing is one of the main reasons people go to the boundary waters but if you're up there you've got to check out honeymoon bluff it's a wonderful view.
