Resort is a stretch - we weren't expecting much - but got even less. We have a 8 month son and we were afraid to let him crawl on the floors they were so dirty. Overall - the place was musty, damp and run down and the beds were sunken in the middle like a canoe.

It is close to the park - but it seems for the price you could find a better place to stay.

My husband and I and our 4 kids stayed comfortably in cabin #4. It is a 2 bedroom cabin. Curtains are used for room dividers. I found it to be very nice. Little extras were helpful, such as a supply of toilet paper, coffee machine, and even some paper cups and bowls. They also had some lovely plateware and tea cups, silverware, ects. Two of our kids slept on the futon. It is a short futon, so it wouldn't have worked for adults. But the beds were comfortable, with pillows and a comforter. When you're used to camping, this is such a nice change. Our cabin had a large refriderator, a stove and sink/counter area. Lots of windows are nice. It was spaced enough for privacy from other cabins. Great location, very close to Devil's lake, and just a 5 min. drive from Boo Canoe rafting. We had a great experience. The only draw back for this particular cabin, was that it faced a busy road. People would drive by honking and waving, and our kids got into that. But as far as the privacy that one would expect with a cabin, the street takes that away. Across the street is a wooded area.
The outside area around the cabin was fully shaded by pine trees.
The people running Nordic Pines were friendly. It was such a pleasant stay, that we wished we could have stayed longer.

I stayed at this place 3 years ago and it was really nice back then. I believe they sold some of the cottages we stayed to someone else so unfortunately we had to stay at this dump for one night. This cottage is supposed to be a 2 bedroom with a nice and clean sitting area. Well forget about that.!!! The bedrooms didn't have doors. I couldn't believe that. If you are in this dump as 2 couples, you literally need to ask everyone to close their eyes when you are changing your clothes. The second big negative was the absence of heat. When I booked the place they never told me that they didn't have heat. (3 years ago the old cottages they had had heat.) They put one of these electric radiators to warm up a 2 bedroom place. It was unreal. We froze the first night we stayed. The second day I called the reception and complained about not having heat. She said they usually tell their guests that they have no heat. Unfortunately they never told me that. Without an argument they let us check out right away. We had to pay for the first night but we didn't have to stay for the rest of our trip.
I do NOT recommend this place unless you don't mind staying in a dump place with no heat and no privacy.

Our recent visit to Nordic Pines uncovered a new, helpful management team that has great plans for the resort and campground. (When we got stuck in the mud after a rainy week in June, their maintenance man made sure we got out!) Next year they will have a newly renovated resort area. Currently, they are in contact with a group that runs team-building exploration adventures--canoeing, rock climbing, etc... We are taking two groups back with us before the summer is out!
