Owl's Nest Resort

Experience Minnesota like a Local

About Us

Welcome to our secluded resort, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the north woods. In existence since 1954, we’ve been offering the ultimate lake experience, with activities like fishing, swimming, and boating, all within the stunning natural beauty of our forested surroundings. Come soak up some sun on our beach or go on an adventure on one of our kayaks, paddleboats or paddleboards to explore the lake on your own.

What Makes Us Special

My family has been going to Owls Nest Resort for 29 years. It is my favorite vacation of the entire year. Extremely relaxing, fun, and private.

I spent the weekend here with some friends and had an incredible time! Bob and Kris are beyond welcoming and quick to offer a helping hand when needed. We took the pontoon out on the lake and were able to get a good view of the sunset, and we managed to catch some fish too! But even if you don’t go out on the lake you can get a really nice view of the sunset right off the section of beach.

I absolutely love this place. My grandpa has gone here for many years, and brought me last year. We now have a house on lake and still go over to visit. The owner Krissy is extremely nice, and the location right on 5th crow wing is great. There is also friendly dogs on the property to keep you company, they are good boys! Worth a stay!
