I have enjoyed my stay. Comfortable kitchenette. Jenny and Adam are awesome folks and the new owners. Ice fishing has been good they have a nice cleaning station with a friendly little kitty to keep you company while your cleaning fish. I'll be back this summer for sure.
Just finished a two night stay in their west unit. Rooms were clean, comfortable and adequately stocked kitchen. Friendliness of the two owners was top notch off the chart. It shows they care about their facility, grounds and their guests. Adam even met us in the rain to help us dock the pontoon we rented from them. Great place to head out fishing from. Perch and bluegills are abundant without having to travel far. There were four of us for two days. We kept 105 perch and 29 bluegills. Minnesota limits were 120 and 40 respectively. Due its border status you can fish from the South Dakota side only a Minnesota license. It was my first visit and 3-4 year repeat visits for the other guys. Remember to bring a pillow, blankets, towels and dish towels. Sheets are provided though. Black house flies are very prevalent however. Mildly bothersome but at least they’re not the biting kind! I kept forgetting to bring a few dead ones out on the boat to see they would enhance my fish catch. Grubs on white 1/8 ounce jig heads for the sunfish and on gold for the perch 1 foot off the bottom in 10-12 feet of water off small points of land.
This was our first time staying at Schmidts. The resort overall is very tidy. Staff is present and easy to speak to anytime for any reason. They have 4+ docks some with build in seating. Very nice boat launch area, a full concrete slab. The restroom facilities available for weekend campers were actually spotless! Overall a very nice resort and great spaces for children. I would highly recommend Schmidts Landing.
Jeni and Adam were wonderful! We stayed in the middle of June. They were very accommodating and friendly. The prices were great and the rooms were comfortable. Our cabin was updated and look great. The playground for the little children was really nice. My husband and I had our sons, daughter-in-law and grandson joined us. There was plenty of room for everyone, even a curious toddler.
My husband and I enjoyed it so much we booked another vacation in July. We plan on going back next year and in the years to come. Great place to have a family reunion, vacation and relax or go fishing. Jeni will give you the information about the hot fishing spots.
I highly recommend staying here. We had a wonderful time at our family reunion. There's plenty for young children to do and it's a beautiful setting. The owners are kind and go out of their way for their guests. On our last morning, we took a family photo by the lighthouse. I laid my wallet by a tree and completely forgot about it. By the time I realized I didn't have my wallet, we were an hour and a half down the road. I called and they immediately located my wallet and offered to mail it to me free of charge. They were unwilling to accept a Venmo or Paypal...they simply asked that we would come back and visit them again. We certainly will. They showed kindness and grace and it was very much appreciated! If you're looking for a fun place to unplug and enjoy some family or alone time, look no further.
