We spent a week at this resort in August 2012. The accommodations were clean and well furnished, the grounds were extremely well kept. The activities that were listed as "amenities" were awesome with things for all ages. It is very evident that the owners take pride in their property and care about customer service. My grandchild could not get enough... More

Thank you very much for your review and recognizing that we do take great pride in our Resort. We are thrilled that your grandchild never got bored. We strive to have something for all ages as we are a laid back "Mom-n-Pop" resort providing our guests with the option to just "rest & relax" or "play". More

We didn't realize a cabin in Northern MN without AC would be a mistake (we were sure wrong) it was nearly 95-100 degrees all week and barely cooled down to 75 degrees overnight. It was miserably hot!! Much too hot to fish, bike, hike or play. Sucker fish were dying in all the lakes due to the heat. Old timers... More

Sorry your stay was not what you had hoped. We do have three units with A/C and have box fans and ceiling fans throughout all the non-A/C units. We may not be able to control the weather but we always check with our guests to see if their needs are being met. July was one of the hottest summers on... More

We stayed for the first time last fall at Pear Paw Resort. First, the owners are the key to this being such a wonderful place to stay. They make you feel right to home, and work hard to maintain the cabins and grounds. The resort is located in a nice little hollow on one of Minnesota's best kept secrets--Two Inlets... More

We are looking forward to our 4th consecutive vacation at Bear Paw Resort. We first vacationed here with our daughters family and have returned to share this great resort each year. We feel as if the owners work very hard to cater to each and every guest.
