Fireside Lodge is not just a place to spend time; it's an experience. A person's time is very valuable nowadays and we know how to help them make the most of it. We taking pride in the personal service we provide. Since Fireside Lodge is a private resort, and the only resort on the lake, the hustle and bustle of everyday life is left far behind. Along with the breathtaking wilderness, the atmosphere of a big historical lodge, newly built accommodations, and meals that you'll remember even after your trip, is the hospitality you'll experience that will make this your best Canadian trip ever.

Beginning with a personal greeting upon your arrival, you will receive a complete orientation of the lake system, including fishing tactics and a well-marked map. A demonstration of the operation of the equipment will start you off comfortably on your first venture out on the lake. Our motors are 20 hp Yamaha motors, new every year. The 16 foot Lund boats have floors, swivel seats, anchors, and are equipped with landing nets and fish cradles. Your boat will be serviced with gas and maintained daily. Communication does not end after the first day. We are available every day to answer any questions you may have, or just to talk fishing. We can help you plan your days, whether they be fishing strategies or new adventures. We can also direct you to points of nature in our serene wilderness.

During your stay at Fireside Lodge, you'll enjoy the comforts of immaculately kept accommodations and personal dining room service. Your accommodations will be maintained daily, including impeccable cleaning, towel service and supplying you with plenty of coffee and ice.

Whether it be in our contented dining room or on the shoreline of a quiet bay, mealtime is a memorable experience at Fireside Lodge!

Breakfast is a completely open menu consisting of everything from cold and hot cereals to loaded omelettes. The choice is yours every morning. Lunches are packed "to go" as a picnic lunch or shore lunch. Picnic lunches include sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit, and beverage. Shore lunches consist of everything you need to cook a shoreline lunch with potatoes, onions, beans, and we provide walleye and whitefish fillets. This is our contribution to the conservation program and your opportunity to enjoy a fresh fish meal cooked over a fire.

As for dinner, all meals are home cooked quality with portions to delight even a hearty "northwoods" appetite, and pastries & baked goods are all made "from scratch". Our menu will please every taste and appetite, including health conscious choices and special dietary requirements. Your meals will be served to you at your personal table by a server paying special attention to your mealtime enjoyment. If you choose to stay out on the lake for dinner hours, we will gladly pack up a shoreline dinner for you, or, if you lost track of time and fished right through dinner, your meal will be packed up and waiting for you in your cabin or room. With that kind of flexibility, you need not worry about sacrificing meals or service for your fishing routines.
