Ely, Minnesota and the BWCA have always been a magical place to visit; our family has many fond memories associated with this pristine wilderness area. Much like the changing seasons, so have our needs changed over the years in terms of selecting the perfect vacation spot. We have tried several resorts in the Ely area and are thankful for eventually... more

We decided to spend our honeymoon up in northern minnesota for the beauty of it. We found the RIver Point Resort online and decided to book their honeymoon package. For the price we paid, we were very dissapointed. The room we booked was small, the "extras" that came with the room - warm wine, dirty wine glasses, and their "luxury"... more

My wife and I have spent a week at River Point Resort 27 times, so we've spent over a half a year of our lives there, and we have never had a bad experience. It is about 2-3 miles outside the BWCA, so it is a near-wilderness experience, yet after a day of hiking, fishing and/or canoeing we can return... more

Frankly, I’m not getting the negative comments made about River Point, Jane and Steve, and the folks who work there every year. We’ve being going to River Point for 12 years, starting with one week and now go two weeks every year. My girls were 8 when we first experienced River Point and begged to return; and we have, every... more

If you want to pay a lot of money and get treated like you are not welcome then stay here. The owners of this resort kept telling my family that there were some very important people from Europe staying next to us. OK?... The owners were not friendly and welcoming at all and the lodging was not impressive. The walls... more

Our family (with two young teenage daughters) loved the week we spent at River Point. From the sand beach with swimming/floating equipment to the fishing experience (our first, and what an experience - the northern pike, crappies and walleyes almost jumping into the boat. 90 seconds to first fish), we found this the perfect place to relax and reconnnect. Jane... more

Poorest customer service I have ever received. I'm surprised these folks can stay in business. We had booked a two week stay, and we were put in a tiny rundown, outdated cabin. We complained, but our complaints fell on deaf ears. The location is beautiful, but please book at another resort. more

I could not agree more with the previous reviewer. Ely and the Boundary Waters are gorgeous and a must see. However, Steve the owner of the River Point Resort was rude and less than accommodating. He changed his pet policies after we booked our stay, he yelled at us for asking questions, and he had a fit about returning $12... more

The River Point Resort near the town of Ely in northern Minnesota had supposedly won some awards, so we booked a week in one of their cabins. It quickly became apparent that Steve and Jane, the resort owners, might well have given inordinate attention to the magazine editors, grantors of awards, etc., because customer service to us (and other guests... more
