Truly a top-notch, owner-operated resort. The best of what an up north experience has to offer: lake, golf, and good food. All staff are helpful and friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
there are some areas that need work in the buildings … our building has a huge area that is falling off the building and our Air conditioning was horrible. The staff is outstanding .. loved the salt pool and the golf is awesome. As a matter of fact the use of safe methods to keep the greens beautiful but without dangerous run off is so great. It is spendy there and we would love to stay a week but may be too spendy. The food is great there too.
Maddens always delivers on quality and a great experience. And a rare place today that still has daily maid service! What a treat to come back to a fresh room after a long day.

Madden’s Resort is a class act! They have numerous amenities. What ever you’re looking for. Golf, boating, fishing, swimming in lake or pools, spa, shopping, dining, and all in the heart of the Great North Woods of Minnesota. Plus many dining and entertainment options off resort as well. Reasonable price for all you get. Staff is friendly and professional.
