I’d give this hotel TEN STARS!will definitely stay here always when we come up The rooms a VERY nice, great upgrades, AND VERY CLEAN!!The shower (I know sounds weird) is INCREDIBLE!! The water pressure is the BEST, I have NEVER had such amazing water pressure, and is nice n hot If it had a seat in the shower, it’d be perfect!The kitchette is awesome

Full size fridge and the room is well equipped We’re staying due to business for a couple weeks I can only imagine what they’re two room king suites are like!The staff are very nice and professionalDEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!AND THEY ARE PET FRIENDLY!!

Ladies at the front desk weren’t didn’t seem to enthusiastic about anything Floors weren’t vacuumed well if at all Our dog found a pretzel right away and my sister, in a different room, found a contact lens

There was a storm that knocked power out for a bit and apparently that keeps the refrigerators off until they come through and do something They didn’t tell anyone this and we ended throwing a bunch of food away On the plus side, beds were comfy and the hotel is very quiet

Came to Bemidji for grandson’s high school graduation and enjoyed four nights in this lovely, well-maintained B & B Breakfasts were very good, and there is a small living area with kitchen for snacks, etc and convenient wash machines

Jill’s flexibility and hospitality were the best There is a great view of the lake, and we heard loons in the evening! This was wonderful for a former Minnesotan! It is easy to walk into town along the lake for other meals Dick was gone most of the time, but both he and Jill have good stories!

I enjoyed myself staying here I loved how my room came with a microwave and mini fridge Very accommodating especially when I do lots of traveling and I pack and bring my own food

I absolutely loved going down for breakfast with the beautiful views of the lake which was frozen and I seen people out ice fishing Very intriguing! My room was also clean and the bed was comfortable

Missy Isles

We are currently checked in to DoubleTree and are absolutely loving our stay! They have a beautiful lobby with breathtaking views of the lake Our room was clean, spacious, and suited our needs for our three night stay It’s located in a very convenient location, just a short drive from downtown, shopping, and restaurants

Easy access to the Green Mill restaurant next door They have a lovely looking breakfast buffet, which we have not yet tried (but it smelled incredible when we walked by this morning) There is a nice-looking pool area that also has beautiful views of the lake Everyone we met has been very friendly and welcoming The next time we visit Bemidji, DoubleTree will be the hotel for us!

We stayed here for 2 weeks in early June and had a great time, the owners were very accommodating and friendly Fishing was good, the facilities are perfect for what we wanted I highly recommend this place for a family get away!We are staying here now June, each year having a great time

The resort is a little better each year, they are always adding something or maintaining something The view from the A-frames or the lodge is unsurpassed, fish cleaning house is the best and always spotless They keep bait, ice and have a full bar now with pizza and appetizers Every year we catch more and bigger fish

Barb Pung

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Break on the lake The resort grounds are well maintained and the big lake views can’t be beat The lakefront cabins are staggered so they feel private and you have a spacious deck, with bbq and your own fire pit

There’s a pool, playground and nice sandy beach with lounge chairs along with a big dock area if you’re so inclined to fish off the dock There’s also free use of the kayaks and paddle boats The cabins come with a free boat slip and there’s a fish cleaning house with bait and ice if you need it They also have firewood available next to the pool area There’s a full bar with pizza and apps and indoor and outdoor seating And they are following all the covid rules so no need to worry about that We loved enjoying the sunsets at this beautiful resort It’s definitely a place to visit

Danielle Prestegard

Kid-safe and family-friendly resort All of the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect The lake had something for everyone from the little kids to the big adults

Beautiful resort! Nicest one I’ve ever been to Many amenities for every family -including water trampoline in the lake and an outdoor pool and hot tub NICE, clean cabins, and the staff is fantastic

You won’t regret staying here They have individual cabins for families or individuals, but a selection of large cabins that are great for a large family gathering or business group retreat

Bill Schwagerman

This was my second stay here and my wife and daughter’s first Anyone out there that would like to be treated very well and get great service should come to this resort The nice clean grounds, cabins, exceptional pool, playground and lodge all add up to a great value in a relaxing vacation

I’ve stayed at many resorts over the years and Finn ‘n Feather has to be one of the best I’ve come twice in early September and highly recommend anytime in September

Spent two weeks here and had a wonderful experience! The staff were all friendly, hospitable, and very capable at their jobs The staff are really the highlight of this hotel and you can tell management is doing great work The hotel itself was clean, smelled fresh, and all the amenities worked as expected

The breakfast is good as far as continental style breakfasts go It’s in a scenic, quiet location (for now, seems to be a bunch of development going in) and easy to get to, with a view of the lake from one side of the hotel The rooms themselves are very nice with appropriate lighting, comfortable furniture (most importantly the bed!), and practical bathrooms There is a restaurant attached for convenience Highly recommend a stay here!

Paul Mazzeno

I worked for a week of out of the hotel while my son was in a local camp The staff helped me rearrange my reservation and went an extra step to make my long stay more comfortable The room was comfortable and the desk was plenty big enough for me to set up my laptop, dock, and a large monitor

The view of the lake from that side of the hotel is great and there is immediate access to the walking/bike path I walked about 125 miles along the path to the downtown each night for dinner (a few really good places to eat) There’s a small community beach a short walk away and there is a mini-golf being built about the same short distance The breakfast was nice, there is plenty of room in the lobby to hang out (even with a larger group), there’s a nice patio out back with plenty of seating, and the I used the hot tub in the pool area a couple times I didn’t try the gym, but they a little of everything you find in most basic hotel workout rooms

Jodi Stockeland

We were guests during college graduation week, & we would definitely stay here again! The front desk team were all very helpful, friendly, & pleasant Our rooms were clean & nice The view of the lake was beautiful

And, their breakfasts are amazing!!! So many options to choose fromThe Tavern, which is connected, was an added bonus if you wanted a cocktail or a bite to eatAll in all, a very nice place to stay!!!

Alexis lol (alexis)

It was great at first But when we were asleep there for the first night, there was no batteries in the remote, secondly the power went out, and a whole family was kicked out of their room, because they had to fix the wiring in that hotel room to get the power working They only gave the family a 10$ discount for kicking them out of their room

There was barely any towels in the rooms, and we only got one wash cloth Very small trash can as well The pool was great, and the hot tub was great The breakfast was a joke They took an hour to get to breakfast to refill everything Terrible service as well The lady who was doing everything at breakfast, was very slow, and she definetly didn’t care about anything People asked her to refill things, and she was really rude about it Never going back, unless I have to

Julieann Froemke

Bathroom was not clean Lots of human hair on the floor and toilet Toilet was not clean

Had human waste on the lid and bowl Room was very humid Air conditioning seemed to be working but was adding humidity to the room Very uncomfortable Very disappointed Do not recommend staying there Told front desk about issues when checking out Was not offered any discount Did apologize but no discount offered Thankfully I had disinfectant wipes to clean the toilet Checked in late so knew there was no one to clean it Staff at checkin did not seem very familiar with computer Very disappointed

Morgen Bauer

Front desk people were arguing for a good minute when I was trying to check in without being greeted or asked to wait a minute Trash was on the floor in the halls and staircases Toilet had pee on it and floor had trash on it

A/C would make a loud buzzing noise every 30 seconds for most of the day Asked a front desk people who seemed dressed up and in charge and he just said “to be honest with you that’s what they do, it’s a maintenance issue” With no apology Pool was nice but had so much chlorie One maintenance guy was very nice and helpful Wouldn’t book again

Nice clean place Friendly staff Continental breakfast was very good

Nice view of the lake while eating breakfast Breakfast attendant Jenny works hard to keep the breakfast area clean and full Room could use some new furniture and updates but the bed is very comfy The jacuzzi was nice Used it as more of a tub though as the button to turn on looked broken

Linda Nelson

We had a GREAT experience The room was nice and clean Check in was easy

They have a nice pool area with a hot tub that extends outside through the side of the building HUGE beach front area with a small dock with a bench Nice outdoor seating area and a really, really good breakfast You can tell the breakfast ladies really care about the quality I’d definitely stay here again The only hiccup was our bill was $40 higher in the end than shown on the internet when booking It was supposed to be $180 but our bill came out to $220 Never took a screen shot of reservation price so I didn’t bother disputing with front desk I would stay here again so if you want to send me a credit for next time I would greatly appreciate it!

Amy Pickus

Greatest experience in a hotel we have ever experienced We booked the whirlpool suite and we all know what we expect in the whirlpool, this was the first time there was nothing extra floating The bathrooms not a piece of anyone else’s hair present

The place was absolutely immaculate! To say friendly and accommodating staff is a complete understatement No where did you go without being greeted and asked if you needed anything The breakfast was definitely one of the more elaborate for a free continental breakfast Even the breakfast staff greeting everyone with a good morning, is there anything else you need or we can get you Absolutely incredible experience from booking to check out I highly recommend for your stay if you need lodging in Bemidji

Stayed here before and now we know not to stay again First time we were here owners were rude to our guests, we chalked it up to maybe them having a bad day, the next year we came, again our guests and us were treated poorly We are not a loud and obnoxious bunch, we are just looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy

It doesn’t take much effort to start a conversation with a hello or good morning We have many other options to choose from in lakes country and now we know better Thanks for ruining 2 vacations

Great customer service by all employees I came in contact with Everyone was friendly, attentive, and helpful The lobby area was cozy, warm, and convenient for getting some work done on my computer as there was plenty of space

The room was super clean – no issues The pool/hot tub area is open until 12 for adults, which I greatly appreciated I enjoy using the hot tub in the winter when I travel but seems like so many hotels close the hot tub so early and by the time I get back to the hotel after dinner and/or drinks, there is no opportunity to take advantage of it Also, the breakfast is available until 10 am, which is awesome, as I feel like most hotels stop serving breakfast too early in the morning The whole stay was smooth and seamless The only thing I would say is that I think the rooms are a bit overpriced but there could be various explanations as to why I’d stay again

Owen Dahl (ND FRMBOY)

This has to be the nicest hotel in the Wyndham chain that I have stayed at The whole facility was clean and well maintained The young man at the desk met us with a smile and made sure check in was quick and easy and we each got a fresh cookie

Although the king room was not real big it was roomy enough for the two of us The room and furnishings appear to be nearly new The bed was very comfortable and the HVAC worked as it should The bathroom was spotless and the shower provided plenty of hot water Breakfast was better than what I have been used because of covid There was plenty of fresh coffee, scrambled eggs and ham, along with a waffle maker There was a variety of fresh fruits, yogurt and cereal too All the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful I didn’t get to the pool but I did see people enjoying it This hotel will be put into my Wyndham favorites list

Adam Kuznia

Started off great, Cassie greeted us at close to midnight after a long day and was very friendly She even let us hang out in the hot tub a couple of minutes past closing time after our late arrival The next day, the staff attitude took a rough turn

Most hotels I’ve stayed will allow guests a grace period or a little later checkout Not here, the lady is by the book and told us 11 is the latest because they are booked for tonight and filling up fast When we left, the parking lot was empty No new guests were here It’s sad when you blow $200 on an average room and a urine filled hot tub and the staff doesn’t have the courtesy to allow you a few extra minutes to get ready after a late arrival Would not recommend Will go back to the usual Hampton or Doubletree across town next time we’re in town
