A Minnesota Family Resort Tradition Since 1922 

We invite you to start your family's own vacation tradition at Arcadia Lodge this year.  Located on the shores of Big Turtle Lake, Arcadia Lodge is a Minnesota family resort located in the north-central part of the state, 30 miles north of Grand Rapids, just off the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway.  It is completely surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest.  Sparkling clear blue waters, the call of the loon, a soaring eagle and the tranquility of a new born fawn are all part of the true northwoods getaway that guests experience here.

We have 21 cabins and three motel-style lodge units to choose from.  The cabins range from two huge 10-bedroom lodges and three six bedroom cabins that are perfect for family reunions, to two, three, four and five bedroom cabins with all the amenities.  There's even a cozy single bedroom cabin for two.  All the cabins feature modern conveniences like air conditioning, satellite TV, kitchens with automatic dishwashers, electric coffee makers and microwaves, and full baths with both tub and shower. The majority of our cabins have gas fireplaces and each cabin has its own deck and/or screened porch with patio tables and chairs or picnic tables and a charcoal grill.  Weekly cabin rentals include free dock space for your own boat.  Three spacious Lodge Rooms are located above the main lodge and offer motel-type lodging in a resort atmosphere. The single room units have two queen beds, a full bath with tub and shower, air conditioning, satellite TV, microwave, mini-fridge and a coffee maker.  The large Norway Pine Suite has air conditioning, satellite TV, a full kitchen with dishwasher, a comfortable living room and dining area, and two bedrooms, each with a queen bed.  It also has a large private deck overlooking the lake.  The Lodge Rooms are available for single night rentals as well as by the week.

Your family will love our swimming beach and swimming raft.  Each week we take all the guests' kids tubing behind our boat.  Click on the photo to find out more about our resort activities.

The Main Lodge sits high above Big Turtle Lake and offers what many guests call "The Million Dollar View."  The lodge features a very large gift shop, a game room, internet hot spot, a small bar, and a restaurant.

During the summer months dinner is served five nights a week in our Eagles' Nest Dining Room restaurant.  You'll love dining while viewing the lake from the 80-foot wrap-around screened porch located high above Big Turtle Lake. Reservations are strongly suggested.

We have plenty of activities to keep children busy while parents take time to relax.  Our beach is sandy and gradual with a diving raft, water trampoline, the Saturn and the Rock anchored out for the older kids and a slide in the shallower water for the younger kids.  The playground is right on the beach along with the fire pit for roasting marshmallows   (we provide the wood!)

Big Turtle Lake is just over 2,000 acres in size and provides tremendous multi-species fishing opportunities.  Well known for it's amazing Small mouth population, Big Turtle Lake offers Bass Fishermen of all calibers a fun and challenging experience.  Nothing compares to the excitement of small mouth bass fishing in June at Arcadia Lodge on Big Turtle Lake. When that small mouth slams the lure and goes airborne – you’re heart races so hard it nearly comes out of your chest! If you are an avid small mouth angler you know exactly what we’re talking about. But if you’re a newcomer, you’All be hooked for life the first time you stay and fish here.  The majority of sallies caught here are in the 2- to 4-pound range. But every year several Arcadia guests hook and play a 5-lb small mouth or two.
 And nothing compares to the views of Turtle Lake's shoreline, islands and bays as seen from a boat, canoe or pontoon.

We are excited about the vacation experience we offer guests.  We hope you will give favorable consideration to staying with us this year.  Hope to see you soon!
