My wife and I have spent many happy bug ridden months camping in the BWCA over the past 28 years. She prevailed on me to spend a week at Burntside Lodge last year and we had a wonderful time. The cabins are wonderful, esp the studio cabin we stayed in on the point above the marina. A flock of wild turkeys wanders the grounds, wolves howl at night, and the loons wail echos across the lake. The restaurant would be well known in San Francisco, the food is that good. Wine selection is wonderful. The only phone is a booth in the lobby and I don't think cell phones work. The staff is warm, attentive and welcoming and will outfit for a day on the lake fishing or a month in the Quetico. Go in September for fewest bugs.
