For the safety of our guests, our insurance company reserves the right to determine when the boats are put in and taken out each year – and to deny use of the boats on days when weather conditions make it dangerous to be out on the lake.

Each cabin has its own grill (either charcoal or gas). Charcoal fires are allowed in the grills unless we are under a red flag warning. If there is a weather advisory, we will post red flags around the property – or you may check with the office to make sure you can use charcoal. During “red flag” days, gas grills may be used, but you must attend the fire at all times. For cabins with charcoal grills, we have placed several gas grills in the common area if you wish to BBQ. These grills are to be shared by all cabins so we ask you to leave them in the common area and not bring them to your cabin. NOTE: Wood burning outside the cabin is NOT permitted within city limits. Therefore, please do not try and burn logs in our grills.

Dog Policies:

Lake of the Woods welcomes your whole family to our resort. This includes the furry members of your family as well. As with any business, we do have some guidelines, which we ask that our resort guests follow regarding their pets. These guidelines are meant to provide all our guests a safe and pleasant experience at our resort.

  1. WHEN OUTSIDE YOUR CABIN, YOUR DOG MUST BE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES and please make sure who ever is walking the dog can control the dog. (Please do not have a 50 lb child walking a 70 lb dog.) As owners, it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of our guests. As a dog owner, you may be held personally liable for any incident involving your dog. We all like to think our dogs will always act the way they do at home, but in different surroundings and among different people, they may act in unpredictable ways.
  2. Please clean up after your Dog We wish to provide our guests a clean environment in which to walk, fish and play. Please keep your dogs off the main grass area and especially the playground area.
  3. Please clean up after your dog in your cabin. Vacuums are available upon request. Many dogs shed, and we realize that this is a normal function of many breeds. We ask that you please clean up any excessive hair left by your dog, as our cleaning personnel spend countless hours on this alone. If your dog leaves excessive hair in your cabin, we will charge a cleaning fee of $25.00 to recoup the cost of our additional labor. If your dog causes damage to your cabin we will provide you with an additional invoice to cover such damage.
  4. We would appreciate your keeping dogs off the beds and furniture. Please bring an old sheet or blanket for dogs to lay on if they are used to being on your furniture at home.
  5. Please have a great time at our resort. These guidelines are by no means meant to upset our guests. We love providing a wonderful FAMILY experience for all our guests.
