My family has been going to this resort for 80+years. The current owners, Jim and kenda are amazing. The cabins are stocked with everything you need for the kitchen. The cabins are clean. The beach is kept clean. We will continue the family tradition with our kids.

What a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing vacation. There is something to be said about being in the midst of a national forest with natural creation all around. The beach is beautiful and the water is some of the clearest water I have ever seen. The cabins are well kempt and very clean. The owners are great as they allow people to be who they are and enjoy a peaceful serene vacation. There might be a bug or two, yet you are in the middle of a forest. This is a wonderful affordable place to kick back and simply enjoy life - and the views!

Great rates, good fishing and the owners are very down to earth and treat you like family. Sun rises and sunsets on the lake is gorgeous. This was our 2nd visit and have already booked for a 3rd trip next year. (2022)

We enjoyed two restful weeks at Ojibway Resort. The owners are friendly. The beach is nice and the sunsets are breathtaking. This resort is more rustic than some and that is exactly what we were looking for! We will return.

Our family has been coming to Ojibway Resort for over 20 years. If you're looking for a secluded, well maintained resort that has a lot of things to do this is the place to go. They have a beach that goes 100 yards or so out into the lake while still being at waste level or below with crystal clear water. Fishing is fantastic for perch, walleye, northern, bass, gills, etc.......Jim provides a lot of things that other resorts would charge extra for like firewood, fish cleaning facilities and boat docking. The bike path is paved and goes all the way around the lake. There are numerous other bike paths in the near area. ATV trails are also nearby. There is a petting zoo not far away and good size towns like Bemidji & Walker are within 20 minutes or so to get your shopping fix. Ojibway is family owned and this is a great place for a family vacation, we love coming here.

This is a great place for families to enjoy Cass Lake, especially Pike Bay. It has a great swimming beach with hard sand bottom. The shallow beach, makes it easy for little kids to play without worry. There is a swing set beach side that kept my kids entertained. The white pines sway in the breeze and oh- the scent of pine is just energizing. If you love being outdoors, hiking, biking, swimming and fishing, you can't ask for anything better. The owners are kind, friendly and Kendra captivated the hearts of my kids. Thanks for a great visit!

Years of great memories! THIS is the resort if you enjoy having space to yourself in the great outdoors. The cabins arent right on top of eachother and so much work has gone into remodeling and updating them. The lake isnt crowded and there's peace to be enjoyed. Peaceful and easy going. Just across the road is the bike trail, which I have walked and ridden many times through the forest. The camp looks westward over Pike Bay--meaning spectacular sunsets. And for those that are known to enjoy a spot of fishing, the lake provides ample opportunity. Being from Indiana where lakes are surrounded by towns, and farms, there's little appeal to fish and I would never eat fish back home. But here where you can see, feel, and smell how clean the water is. You can actually enjoy, eating your catch. My experiences here are what I judge all other resort experiences by.
