This was the Fritz family's third time up to Cabin O Pines. We all love the place. It's very "chill". Very well kept up grounds. The owners are always there at the fringes if you need something. Lots of things to do. Highly recommended!

Stayed here for a week this past month, and it is a beautiful place. Great place to sight-see and relax. The cabins are very clean, cozy, and the bed was so comfortable. Slept like a rock the whole week! The Coyer's are very sweet and accommodating also. Would highly recommend!

I grew up on this resort with my family. The owners are amazing and all of the summer long seasonal campers are knowledgeable and friendly. There are tons of fun things to do in the resort and many more opportunities for adventure in the small local towns of the area. Pelican lake offers great year round fishing for a variety of sportfish and cabin o pines is a great place to stay for your time in Orr!

Spent a week there spring 2019. Resort is clean and well maintained. Cabin 10 was very clean and comfortable. This was my third time staying at this resort. Excellent experience all three times. Fish cleaning station was remodeled and is extra nice. Good fishing. We reserved next year.

Would NOT recommend this resort. When we arrived we found out they gave our reserved site on the lake to someone else. They told us we didn't want that site anyway bc the neighbor had 3 barking dogs so they tried to convince us to take a different one. They offered us a small site on top a hill farther away from the lake. We didn't want that site so we had to ask the other people to move. They refused to move until it stopped raining. We ended up standing in the rain for 1 1/2 hrs waiting for our RESERVED site. It took us over 2 hrs to check in. They came over to apologize and offered us a pontoon for a couple hrs on Fri for the inconvenience and we accepted. We also decided to rent a fishing boat for half day on Thurs and paid full price $100 cash. Friday when checking out we asked for a receipt of the credit card charges. We noticed that they charged us twice for the boat rental on Thurs. We went back to explain they double charged us bc we paid cash and they also put it on the card. They had also gave us a 20 percent discount on our total bill for all the inconvenience that week. When returning home I noticed that when they removed the double charge on the boat rental they also removed the discount. I sent them an email asking why they removed the discount? Their response was "the managers discount was applied for 20 percent off the total and once the boat was removed the total was decreased by $20". I responded and said we did pay for the boat rental $100 cash on Thurs. So I guess we only get the $20 discount on the boat if it is paid with a credit card and not cash???? Either way it was paid. It has been several days and nobody has responded to my email. They gave us a discount to correct all the issues/inconveniences and then took it back. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT FOR DOUBLE CHARGES. SMALL SITES. TERRIBLE FISHING. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESORT! We actually left a day early bc we were so uncomfortable. We paid for 3 nights and only stayed 2. We immediately felt awkward and uncomfortable when checking in. It seemed or appeared you knew about this issue before we even arrived. Immediately upon arrival you started giving us a story of how we didn't want our reserved site bc the neighbor had 3 annoying barking dogs (we never once heard the dogs bark the entire time we were there). You stated you would do anything not to have to make the other group move. You informed us we wanted the other site bc it was closer to the bathroom, etc. We felt PRESSURED, AWKWARD, & UNCOMFORTABLE! We felt like we had to be the bad guys and make the other group pick up their entire camp and move. In regards to the $20 discount you gave us and took back, I sent two nice emails kindly asking you to correct this issue. You finally (after I wrote a review) responded. The last email you sent us stated I was correct about the removal of the $20 discount but you still didn't offer to correct this issue. You asked me to re-consider the review I posted as you were worried about the damage it would cause. I appreciate when people give honest reviews. We spent several hundred dollars on this fishing trip, felt uncomfortable, and took zero fish home. As far as I know to date this still hasn't been resolved. I recently received my credit card statement and the $20 was not credited back. Cabin O' Pines HAVE YOU corrected this issue? In your last email you said "we would look forward to having your family back and would of course take extra care in making sure that all of the accommodations were perfect". You then contradicted yourself and YOU negatively said "we would kindly agree that you do not return to Cabin O' Pines in the future". No worries that will not be an issue!

My family had a wonderful time last week at Cabin O Pines. As usual the cabin and camp was fantastic! The fishing was great highlighted by my 7 year old catching a 4.5 lb Largemouth and a 4 lb Smallmouth within about 15 minutes. It was a big day for him! Traveling up from North Carolina is a long way to travel but it is ABSOLUTELY worth it and can not wait for next year! Thank you for everything!

Cabins are clean and comfortable. Campsites are easily accessible. The staff is welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of amenities and activities at the resort and things to do in the area if you decide not to fish. Why would anyone not want to fish? The fishing is really good. In other words, my son and I fish all day everyday while my wife and daughter enjoy some fishing, some relaxing and some of the area activities. Highly recommended. My only complaint is the 358 days until we return seem more like a thousand and the week we are there goes too fast.

We have been coming to this resort for over 10 years and each time it has been wonderful. Great fishing, beach and docks are awesome! The grounds and shower house are well kept and clean. We have camped on the lake site 2 and 3 and love being close to the water. Sunsets are beautiful and our grandkids love to be swimming, fishing and kayaking!

This is a awesome place to come!!! We will be back next year. Great place to unplug and relax. The fishing was great. We have 4 kids ages 19, 16, 10 and 9 and they all had a blast. They especially love that you can fish from the dock and catch lots of pan fish. Our older children love that you can use paddle boats, kayaks,and the paddle boards for free. The owners were great and helped with anything we needed. Bathrooms were the cleanest I have seen in any resort.

Our 1st time camping at this resort, definitely not our last!!! Plenty to do especially for kids, restrooms, showers, fish house etc... very clean. The large dock is great place to fish, plenty of lounge chairs to lay by the lake & read a book. The owners & other staff are extremely friendly & helpful. I'd highly recommend bringing your friends & family here. Special thanks to Ross!!!

Just spent the weekend there last week. This is a true northern mn resort. Rustic cabins, wooded property, camp sites, fish house, docks, sauna, and all the peace and quiet you want. Pricing is very fair and the family owned resort offers excellent service with a warm genuine smile. Great for families.

We love the Cabin O Pines resort. They have a great beach for the kids, and they even have a sauna house for the Scandinavians. They have the biggest dock on the lake, so easy to throw in a line.

Amazing fishing. Beautiful cabins. Super clean. Amazing customer service. The family that runs it is super helpful, knowledgeable, and could easily accomidate our party. They have campsites, trailer hookups, a beautiful dock, and the best cabin experience that i have ever had. This is a family vacation to unplug, unwind and be one with nature. I cannot recommend it any higher. We will be coming back.
