Reviews for Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay Resort - Lake Mille Lacs Lodging in Isle, MN
Great food and beach, but we rented one of their jet ski?s and pontoon both had damage to them when we got them but management... said they knew of damage and machines still worked so don?t worry about it. After we finished our vacation we got double chargedfor damage fees without even being told why till we called asking about charges. I highly recommend not rent their equipmentcause very poor maintenance on equipment and bogus charges will be put on you from previous issues. Read more
We loved it. Great resort. Super friendly staff. Clean rooms. Nice beach. Amazing sunsets. Lots to do! I wish we were... there for more days. Read more
Fun for the whole family! The kids were never bored. The food at the restaurant was great. Very clean room. We enjoyed the fire... pit and the fun water inflatables. Only complaint is that they seemed very understaffed. One waitress/bartender on Friday nightclosing, same one opening the next morning. Food took forever to come out, but obviously not her fault since she was running hertail off. Main office was just one person, too. Lots of people in the shop and we needed firewood. She was understandablyhesitant to leave the shop to unlock the wood box so we just waited. Appeldoorn?s, we love you and we will be back, but I hopeyou are paying your staff VERY well! They?re clearly doing the work of what should be 2-3 people so they should be paidaccordingly. Read more
This place is just as described, very family oriented with lots of things to do for everyone that's no extra charge, kayaking... basketball bikes to ride or just sit and watch the sunset by the docks. Lots of layouts to choose from for accommodations too.We were in one of the lodges right by the office, it was nice and spacious with a large counter area for food. We have threekids 15, 10 & 2 and everyone had something to do and a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitelycome back here and hopefully get one of the cabins on the beach because those look like a great time! Read more
Dead bugs (yes, plural) on the bedspread, the window wells, piles of dead mayflies outside the door, pubic hair and sand in the... shower. This is what we arrived to. Threadbare bedspreads from the 1990?s. Very uncomfortable squeaky beds. We asked for adifferent room, but no. Nope. They sent up someone who swiped the shower clean instead. If you want a blanket- not an extrablanket- A blanket- best ask for it when you check in. There is no one at the reception desk after 8:00. They gave us a $100refund- should have been full refund.

The resort was nice and well kept. Activities for the kids was much appreciated. However, the cabins we stayed in (9 & 10) need... help. CABIN #9 Months worth of dust on ceiling fan above table; couldn?t use the fan because the dust and cobwebs were sogross! Bathroom-Shower curtain was dirty; should be cleaned or replaced. Sink wasn?t cleaned very well. Exhaust fan did notwork. Shower curtain rod was bent, and we had to ask for a new one. Poor lighting throughout the entire cabin. Maybe a floorlamp or two in living area, and in the bedrooms The cabin was not cleaned very well. The rug just inside the door from outsidevery slippery and dangerous . 5 cup coffee pot is too small and was very slow to brew. Toaster won?t pop up toast unless youunplug it Poor lighting in all bedrooms One bedroom didn?t even have a working ceiling light. CABIN #10 Outside patio doordoes not close or open well Cigarette butts and garage outside patio door when we checked in. Food stuck on forks Tons ofsand under rug in kitchen ************* Hot and cold water hoses switched on washing machine. We were washing in cold water, but it was actually washing in hot Read more
