North Beach Resort

This is right on the largest lake in the county, has a front and rear deck so that you can sit out right on the lake, a full kitchen, and two bedrooms. There's also one and a half baths. The cable TV package is also pretty good for vacation spot. There is also a pool building with a large indoor pool, a game room, a sauna, laundry, and a nice sitting area. I've owned a couple of timeshare weeks here for at least 30 years and I like coming up here. It's quiet, it's close to Itasca State Park which is a gem, and there's plenty of restaurants and things to do outdoors for hiking, biking, or back in the town of Park rapids.

We enjoyed our stay at North Beach. It is what it is. It is an older timeshare type resort that has seen better days. The staff is great and doing what they can with an aging resort. The grounds are lovely and the lake is awesome. The pool was closed. The common areas are a bit run down and the rooms are showing their age. That said. Like I said. We enjoyed our time here and it is a nice place if you get a good deal on rooms.

Stayed here lately and was not impressed. The staff are amazing, friendly and helpful but they are not on site after hours. The buildinga are in need of maintenace, rotting wood, stained carpets, lights out on the property at night. Swimming area is a joke, way too shallow and not nice. Fire pits in the back are a nice touch. NO A/C in the units which is absurd in this day, wall units should have been installed long ago., no way you will be sleeping at night and the bedrooms are upstairs !NO WIFI in the units, again not acceptable in this day, you can get it in the pool building but it's a hassle to run over there. Pool was closed for no apparent reason also, something you do in the winter not the summer. Overall the location is good near other small towns but the resorts in Detroit Lakes are better. Probably wouldn't come back unless rhe price was really good.
