Love this place! Bill and Cory are great hosts. Very well kept cabins and property. Family friendly. Excellent fishing opportunities on Rice Lake. Come build some great family memories.
The area and environment are exceptionally pleasant. The owner is incredibly welcoming and makes me feel like a valued client and friend. On every visit, the owner has gone above and beyond their duties to assist me.
Very friendly and rule abiding management; love it. Private, clean, well maintained cottage. Boats were good and maintained and was a fun ride. Beautiful spot to sit by the water and a place for kids to have fun Great place for a family getaway
Sunset Cove is in a such a beautiful spot with amazing views of the lake. It's very peaceful and quiet and the perfect size so it feels much welcoming than some of the larger resorts in the area. The owners are very friendly and do a great job of keeping everything tidy and clean.They have even set up a nice area for kids staying at the resort to play on the beach and they also have boats that guests can rent. Their prices are extremely reasonable too and I would highly recommend this resort. Can't wait to come back again for longer next time.
We launched our boat there last week. Very nice owner and $10 for lanuch boat that's really reasonable price. Definitely will go back there later. Nice water front cottage also.
Excellent resort. I have rented boats for fishing from Bill for years now. He is always accommodating and understand what anglers are looking for. The motors are serviced well and the rental rates are very fair. Highly recommended!
My wife and I booked a one bedroom cottage for 2 nights. When we arrived, we were greeted by extremely welcoming hosts. The cottage was clean and comfortable. When we came in from fishing, we were met at the dock with help to tie off the boat. I found the prices reasonable. If we go back to Rice Lake, we will definitely stay there.
I've rented many cottages through out my life time. The room I rent was meant for me. Clean and right in front of the lake. Fishing is amazing. Caught many bass, bluegills, crappies, perch and catfish. That is fishing on land since I don't have a boat license. Location is great. Surrounded by forest and lake view. Quiet and relaxing. My favourite part is that they have a cleaning hut for the fish. And a descaler machine that can descaler 50 bule gills at once. Amazing
