Just returned from a week at Grand Vu Lodge. Stayed in the "Beach House" (three bedroom, three bath) and thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation! The amenities are numerous including planned daily activities for the kiddos; all complimentary. Though it may not be the least expensive place to stay on beautiful Leech Lake, you get what you pay for and don't get "nickeled and dimed" on the activities. The location on Pine Point is perfect for all water activities and fishing hot spots. The staff are great; especially the dock "boys"/maintainence/fishing guides/jack of all trades men Jason & Daley! The resort hosts an adult social on Monday nights (again complementary) and though my wife and I aren't extremely outgoing, have met many new friends to hang out with through out the week by attending. This is a higher end lakeside resort...if your expecting "perfection", book a 5 star hotel. Some people seem to forget the beauty of a family resort is the cabin atmosphere, being in a non-pristine nature setting, on a georgios lake (even though the cabins have Wifi, satellite TV, many with dishwashers, washer/dryer and two person jetted tubs). Would highly recommend...Relax and enjoy!
Good spot. Not always there, but when they are, it's good service.
My three kids and I stayed at Grand Vu lodge in the American Dream cabin with our family a few weeks ago. After the first night we were so impressed, we went to the lodge and rebooked for the next year. The cabin is open and spacious and it's themed with patriotism. It has four bathrooms, one in each bedroom which makes it very convenient for family. It was great to have separate bedrooms for the adults and the kids. The location was Great. We used the upper deck every morning to drink or coffee and listen to the loons. We were lucky to have nice weather. The staff was accommodating, we really enjoyed the lodge, and the dock boy was efficient and knowledgeable. My kids loved the horse rides And tye dying shirts. We also really enjoyed the bunnies. The beach is beautiful and the kids love the waterslide.
Alot going on here. The grounds were well maintained. They have play equipment and a game room for the kids. The view of the lake is nice and I was very impressed with the cabin. There is a boat ramp right there and they have a rock protected dock area. The only negative would be minor upkeep issues at the cabin.
I am actually not surprised at the review from Ms. Berg below. We were there the same weekend and her group basically took over the entire resort, leaving their items all over the grounds and obstructing other cabins from basic enjoyment of the resort area. I talked to several other cabins that week who were also unhappy with the entitled manner in which they "owned" the resort that week. As to her ski rental complaint, her group rode the jet skis into the swimming area (dangerous if you had children there, which I did) and proceeded to spend most of their time using the jet skis to do donuts in the water close to the swimming area. Her group's selfishness and disregard for fellow resort guests is really my only complaint with the week. Yes, the power went out but the owner and staff were constantly scouring the grounds trying to pick up downed branches and trees as there were storms on consecutive nights and both were pretty destructive. One tree took out the deck of a cabin far away from Ms. Berg's group and the staff spent the better part of the day repairing the deck. As to the water, based on the way her group was too busy with themselves, I can see where they couldn't be bothered to go down to the lake and get water when the power went out. In the meantime, the rest of us went to the office and asked for updates to the situation. As a frequent, satisfied guest of Grand Vu, I am glad she and her group will not be back next year! If you are looking to be overly pampered and coddled, Leech Lake in general is not the place for you. If you are looking for a good week on a large Minnesota lake and an opportunity to interact with good people, Grand Vu is a good place to go and we will be coming back next year!
