Worst resort to go to around here. The cook is incredibly rude.
We had an excellent trip to River Bend!! Great service, great owners, great guides!! Highly recommended
Simply the Best place to go for walleye fishing on Lake of the Woods! Winter or summer, River Bend Resort gets my highest rating. The Johnson family, Paul, Brandi, Ryan and Matthew, will go out if their way to make sure everyone staying with them has the best time! I used to live in Baudette, so I know a lot about all of the resorts up there. Feb. 2nd. 2024.
Fishing guides did nothing to help you catch any fish. Talked to owner and requested to be put in a different house on day 2 being none of us caught anything on day 1 and we're not marking anything. We were told no. A crack started so then they moved us so they could move the house. These guides did nothing to help get you on fish. If you've fished with other resorts you know. First time in my life I didnt tip a guide and first time Ive written a bad review for a guide service. Girls in lodge were great though! Both morning server and evening Bar Tender. Cabin was ok as well. We wont ever fish with these people again but I would go eat and drink there.
Had a blast. Checked into a cabin the staff in the office was extremely friendly.
The cabin was a little bit different than in the pictures but in a good way, a few things had been updated and switched around. Went to the bar to get a drink and the bartender and staff were also very friendly. Cooked dinner in the cabin for the first night, I wasn’t sure what to bring, it said they had pans and cooking utensils and they had enough that you could get things done next time we come and stay in a cabin I might bring another pan and definitely at least one knife, the knifes in our cabin were really small but I made it work.
I’d recommend bringing your own pillows they have pillows and they get the job done definitely not what I’m used to though.
Went out fishing to a day house in the morning and we had to get shuttled out in one of their heated trailers. Are guide was Greg he was also very nice and knowledgeable. He came throughout the day 3 or 4 times I think, I don’t remember how many. Your guide for the day also delivers pizza if you order it, I would definitely recommend we only brought out drinks and snacks so some nice pizza hit the spot I could have used some napkins or paper towels we forgot to ask or bring some ourselves but we were ok without them.
Fishing was slow for everyone we talked to because of the cold our guide said the most he saw in someone’s bucket was 5. We caught 6 or so and had one keeper. We got are ride back to shore and they cleaned are 1 fish lol which I could have done but they offered to and anyway it gives you a chance to go to the bar relax for a bit and get some drinks or food. We had some drinks and burgers. The staff in the bar and restaurant were all really friendly again and the food was really good.
I’d definitely stay here again
