River Bend's Resort

Great guides! They put us right on the spot!! Caught and ate so much fish!!! Communication could have been better. But at the end of the day we still had a great time. The fish we caught and they cooked was amazing!!! Just don’t eat the chicken wings at the bar lol

A great place to check out. The cabins were awesome and had everything you could need. The beds were comfortable. The staff was super friendly, bar food was great. Ice fishing was an awesome experience. The guides helped us get in on some walleye, perch, and tulibee.

My Dad who is 89 said he wanted to go ice fishing. Well for sure I better plan that! We had 12 guys and had an awesome weekend for my Dad to remember. The minute we walked in the bar tender Melody found out about our trip for my Dad and she immediately bought him a drink and came over to introduce herself and said we will be sure you have a great time! Each night we had a great time and Melody was always making sure my Dad was having fun! She even had her husband who drives people to the ice shacks make sure my Dad sat in the front seat of the car versus riding in the trailer. The cabins were clean and nice, the ice houses were nice and we did ok we caught 25 and 35 fish per day . Overall I would recommend Riverbend resort where we truly did feel like we were treated like family and the Bar/ Restaurant is really nice with pull tabs!!! Thank you for making our trip full of memories for my Dad and for all of us to remember! Especially Melody and the waitress!!!!!

We were there last weekend with 1 person from Texas and 1 from Colorado. 1 fish Friday and 1 Saturday. We asked to move Saturday around lunch time. A employee freaked out and needles to say we didn't get to move. We left everything cleaner than we found it!!!!!

Nice cabins and ice houses, as good or better than competing resorts that I've used in the area. Friendly staff that takes good care of you. On time for morning and afternoon transport. Can't really ask for more. They keep up with the fish as good or better than other resorts as well, moving us when things slowed down.

Did the ice fishing package with the resort and Walleye Inn. Inn was under construction/remolding. Debris was all throughout the hallway and the room was not fully put back together. This really wasn’t an issue for us since we only slept there. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The ice fishing portion of this package was the nigh**are. There were 3 of us in the party and we each paid for the pole rental along with 1 flasher. On day 1, after arriving to the hut we noticed we had no poles or flasher. We assumed the poles, and everything would be in the hut when we arrived. Told the guide, he looked and said ok, got back in his vehicle and drove off. Wasn’t sure if he was returning or not. A different guide showed up with 2 poles, one had the handle on the reel missing. The guide then went back and grabbed 4 more poles leaving the broken pole with us. It was roughly an hour and a half before we were able to start fishing. Day 2 guides did not check on us as advertised and we had to call the resort at 2pm (they come to pick you up at 4:30pm) to ask why a guide hadn’t come to check on us. We literally watched the guide leave a hut that a few of the guides had been parked outside all day, come over and check on us. When he arrived, he made a sarcastic comment about the possibility of moving and I replied that at least we weren’t missing our poles today. He responded, “at least we got them to you”. As the guide left, he commented that he couldn’t make the fish bite. Totally understand that but they advertise they make sure you are catching fish and having fun. This was not the case that day. When the guide came to pick us up on day 2, the 4-wheel drive on his vehicle would not engage, got stuck and we had to get behind the vehicle and push him out so we could go pick up the other parties in our group. On day 2 we caught a total of 2 sauger under 9 inches early that morning. Both days, we were never provided, as their website states, hot tips regarding what the daily action had been or how to put more fish on the ice. We stopped by a bait shop close to the resort and talked to a local there and he gave us tips. We were transported in and out to the hut, told there were our minnows and the guides left. We ended up catching 15 fish total on day 1, one walleye was 24 inches, and the rest were under 16. The staff at the restaurant and bar were wonderful. Bartender ensured we never ran out of anything to drink and the waitress who delivered our food to us was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. The fishing part was the disappoin**ent. I will add that we did contact the manager at the inn who relayed the information to the owners since they own both and still haven’t received a response.

First off we had reservations for a sleeper house which got canceled due to ice thickness which I understand but they said they were going to put us up in a 3 bedroom lake side cabin. We get up there and we tried to pay your bill on three different occasions while being up there, they screwed it up royally I got eight different invoices from them random peoples credit cards on them. The bill doubled and then went to zero then doubled again they kept saying they’ll straighten it out but every time we try to pay, they said do it later. of getting a Lakeside cabin we got a trashed trailer home with no hot water a massive mold problem that reeked a microwave that didn’t work half the outlets didn’t work horrible plumbing the drains were constantly clogged and slow the toilet clogged with a fart and there was holes in the floor. You had to be careful where you walked because they covered the holes in the floors with carpet, the shuttles were late they told us we would be out fishing by 730. Most of the time we didn’t get out to the actual icehouse till almost 831 day they said to be there at 7 AM for pick up so we were there at 7 AM for pick up then they told us we won’t be going out till 830. The day houses suck. The towels were stained and disgusting. The fully stocked kitchen was a joke. Thank God I brought my own pans and spatulas. Will never stay with this resort again. The guides were actually decent, but the whole operation is poorly managed and disorganized. Apparently the day before we got up there they forgot to pick somebody up from one of the day houses whole situation was a freaking joke. And then they canceled on us even after telling us we’re gonna get a Lakeside cabin so I made reservations somewhere else and then less than 12 hours later they called us back and said we’re back on.

We rented a RV spot with a dock slip. Everything was super nice! We were there for fishing; the pier was very nice. Easy in and easy out with the boat. The lodge was beautiful and the staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

這是我的旅遊的經驗裡面最糟糕的飯店，設施老舊，早餐很可憐，費用還特別貴，難怪沒有看到散客入住，只有旅行團帶來的**客。被宰。的心情很糟糕。當然價格是無良的旅遊業者訂得太高，毫無性價比。以後還是要謹慎選擇旅遊業者。
