Summary:

This 100-year-old lodge has its original hardwood floors and three stone fireplaces to frame your beautiful views of Long Lake and the Northwoods. With 14 beds in 8 bedrooms, this can sleep up to 23 people with 4 bathrooms to share.



Our spacious Lodge has over 7,600 sq ft and 25-foot high ceilings with a great room that has a wall of windows facing Long Lake. From the quiet loft upstairs to the gameroom in the basement, you won't run out of space for your crew! There are two bathrooms on the main floor and two bathrooms downstairs. Showers are roll-in for ease and accessibility for all. The kitchen with a center island has stainless steel appliances and is stocked with all the dishes and cooking utensils you will need. Two beautiful lounging areas, each with stone fireplaces and comfortable furniture, are at each end of the Lodge.



The large great room has a huge stone fireplace and is perfect for dinners, crafting, sleepovers, yoga, or whatever your heart desires! In the fun-filled game room, you will find multiple activities, including foosball, board games, TV, cards, books, and more!



In addition to the gorgeous building, you will have access to our docks, trails, and all the remote tranquility of the Minnesota Northwoods. And although you will feel secluded, the town of Walker, with restaurants, shops, groceries, and gas, is only a 7-minute drive away!

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is awesome! We all loved it. Very roomy for all 18 of our kids and grandchildren. The only issue we had was the WiFi went out the third day of our 6 day stay and the property manager's response was that he didn't know anything about the internet and since we had young people, they could probably figure it out. Not an appropriate response in my opinion and therefore we went without for the last three days. Not the end of the world. I still recommend this place to anyone.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Lack of supplies was disappointing, tons of cobwebs.

The property was fine. However you have to bring all of your own toilet paper, hand towels/hand soap for the bathroom, paper towels, dish soap for the kitchen, blankets and pillows. The lodge was FILLED with cobwebs, yet we were charged extra upon our check out for not taking out the garbages. There was no heads up that we were going to be charged either. The lack of communication on that was truly upsetting. We didn’t say anything during our stay about the cobwebs and I wish we would have requested someone come and take care of them in hindsight.

Family Vacation

This is a beautiful, quiet location, with room for a large family to stay in one place. This is our second stay at Camp Bliss Lodge, and we plan to return.

Great space for a lot of people?

For the record we were there in winter and just after record breaking cold weather (polar vortex), the patio BBQ was not cleared, but we made it happen to get our burgers and brats done. All the main rooms seemed to have really bad lighting making it very difficult to read. The kitchen was small and strangely laid out, an absolute lack of counter space hurt too. No "dishwasher" which was only assumed on our part, meant we had to spend time doing dishes rather than having fun - not the end of the world, but rather inconvenient. There was lots of bedrooms and space so even in a large group you could find some peace and quiet when you needed to. There are several large tables (we like lots of board games) which is rare; too bad the lighting was so poor. The hot water heater was not able to keep up with the 11 of us, meant many had cold showers. Can’t imagine how 25 would fare.

Beautiful Place

We stayed at the Lodge and it's even bigger than the pictures portrayed! Lots of sleeping areas and bathrooms. The bed I slept on was super comfortable and adjustable. The large meeting room was perfect for playing games with our group of 12. Everyone who came said it was a a beautiful place. The views of the lakes on either side of the house are gorgeous, I'd love to come in the summer some time and take advantage of the dock for fishing.

Fantastic Time

We stayed at Bliss Lodge for a family reunion. It was large enough to provide families to have some places to get away from each other. Plenty of sleeping quarter. The bunk room was a great hangout for all the cousins. Beautiful setting. Quiet lake. Pontoon was a nice add-on. Kayaks and paddleboard was used by us. The family really enjoyed swimming on the sandbar, even the babies!

Fabulous cabin!

The Camp Bliss Lodge was perfect for our family reunion. The cabin is tastefully decorated and spacious. We had more than enough room to be together, or space if we needed alone time. We were thrilled with the 2 full- size refrigerators, plus 2 small ones. With a large group like ours, we needed a lot of room for all the food we brought. We will definitely be back!
