Dave Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 When looking for a vacation resort, many are searching for a small cozy resort atmosphere filled with large resort conveniences. Is there such a resort? I think we found it! While traveling the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake, we stopped in at Hunter Winfield's Resort, located in Isle, Minnesota, to take a look around. Hunter Winfield’s is that smaller "cozy" resort, nestled in the woods, that many are searching for. Yet, Hunter Winfield’s offers everything a large-scale resort does, without the congestion, noise and aggravation. Follow us along for a quick tour. Cabins Offering three remodeled log cabins (one large and two small) each cabin contains two bedrooms (plus a pull out couch) a full kitchen and private bath. Inside and out, these cabins are clean! New carpet, paint and furnishings made it feel like home when walking through on a tour. Living and bedroom areas are spacious. Within the month, this new two-story log cabin for that “extra special” getaway should be placed on its footings and will offer a breath-taking view across Mille Lacs Lake. We’d like to stop back to see this lakefront cabin when it’s ready. The plans for availability soon are on schedule and it sounds like it'll be awesome! Got RV? Four RV sites are available at Hunter Winfield’s - Lakeside with water/sewer/electric hook-up. Got Boat? If you need to launch your boat, Hunter Winfield’s private boat ramp is in excellent shape, lined with new dockage, a gas pump and it's deep enough for most any boat. The dock is also protected from winds being it’s nestled back in the bay. Got Romance? How about a private cruise on a 26’ Sea Ray? Looks like a nice way for a couple to relax during the evening. Got Marshmallows? Being a smaller resort, it’s not uncommon for guests to meet around the bonfire during the evening to relax, make some smores and swap stories about the day’s adventures or of the big one that got away. Guests also have access to a small lodge on the resort grounds to watch a ball game on TV or connect to the Internet, to check HotSpotOutdoors, if needed. The office and store carry a variety of items you may have forgotten. Located close to Father Hennepin State Park for a day of biking, walking and hiking. And, the main street of Isle is just a block up the road where antique and craft shops and café’s are plentiful. Need More? If that’s not enough for you, hop aboard Hunter Winfield’s 44-foot launch with Captain Dereke Voge for a relaxing 4-hour fishing trip. Open and charter launches are available throughout the week with Captain Voge. Captain Voge's 44-foot launch is one of the newer launches on Mille Lacs and the vessel is equipped with top quality fishing gear, navigational instruments and safety gear. Here’s Captain Voge readying the net for my son, Cory, as he works to hoist up a hefty walleye. Look at the bend of that pole! Unfortunately, here’s one tale for the bonfire of “the fish that got away”. Aside from being aboard a clean, safe, quality launch, we were impressed with Captain Voge’s personalized service while on his vessel as well. You don’t have to know how and where to fish, just climb aboard and reel ‘em in! Adam shows the right attitude.... Mountain Dew, Oreos and fishing pole.... What more does a fisherman need? Need Even More?! Hunter Winfield’s can provide. Private guided fishing trips, boat and ATV rentals to name just a few more activities available. During the ice fishing season, snowmobiles and deluxe ice fishing houses are a couple more additions. So, if you’re looking for a cozy and quiet resort at a reasonable cost, we would suggest giving Hunter Winfield’s a call! And, ask about the mid-week special when you call, which includes a free night stay!
