Let's start with the lake. The 3rd Crow Wing lake is an abundant fisherie. It was rainy and lets say not the best weather conditions, but our party caught more than enough fish. Wonderful lake. The cabins are older, but are put together nicely. There are plenty of things to do close by as well.
We all had a really good time on Tuesday, and Wednesday until the evening. We wanted to have a campfire. The lodge owner told one of the people in our party @ 4:00pm that we were on our own because it was "date night" . So we got back from fishing and the fire pits were 2 foot deep with ashes. We did not know where to put the ashes so we move the fire ring and started our fire. We grabbed a bucket out of the shed and went and got kindling. We forgot to turn the light off in the shed, and when the resort owner came home, he came storming up to us asking who fixed my shop vac? We assume he was being smart, but then he said "Who was mess(not exact word) with my fire pit? Then hes said "Where is Randy, we need to talk now." so I went inside the lodge with him, and he then said "Don't mess(again, not exact word) with me, don't mess(you guessed it, not exact word) with my lodge." He then told us we used 25 dozen minnows the 1st day and wound up charging us for 75 dozen minnows for 2 days. DON'T BUY YOUR BAIT AT THE LODGE!!!!!
We will go back to that lake again, BUT NEVER WILL STAY AT BIG TIMBER LODGE AGIN!!!!
