Loved every minute of our time there this week. Didn’t catch too many fish to take home, but Romero helped us out so we didn’t go home empty handed The cabin was clean and comfortable and the day house was also well kept and comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Plan on going back next winter and bringing kids and grandkids!!
Top-Notch Experience for Families Ice Fishing We used Brindley’s Harbor Resort for both the ice house rental and fish cleaning during our trip, and they were absolutely top notch. The team was fantastic at helping make the experience easy and enjoyable — especially with kids. Everything was well organized and stress-free, which meant we could truly focus on the fishing and making memories with our daughter and 8-year-old grandson. From setup to fish cleaning, they handled the details so we didn’t have to. If you’re bringing kids or want a smooth, family-friendly ice fishing experience, we highly recommend Brindley’s. We’ll definitely be using them again.
My family and I have been going to Brindley's for over 20 years and we absolutely love this resort! We always stay in a large log cabin right on the beach - very modern with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, so multiple families stay together, which creates a wonderful experience! The Harbor is wonderful and well run, and they clean the fish for you. The people who run it are friendly and knowledgeable and I hope I get to continue going up there for another 20 years!
Excellent time had by all. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Our log cabin was spacious, clean, and comfortable...one of the best fishing resorts we've been to. Our guides put us on the fish each day and were very friendly. Highly recommend!!!
Been going to Brindleys for 7 years and have enjoyed the area immensely. Very friendly and if there is an issue it's taken care of ASAP. Thank you for another great stay even though the fish didn't bite.
Cabin was clean and ready for us to load our stuff upon arrival. The household equipment ready to use. We we greeted like friends and treated that way for entire 2 week stay. Accommodated our questions and offered ideas to enjoy our stay. Perfect location on Leech Lake
Just spent a week at Brindley’s with friends, our first time there (and to Minnesota in general.) It was a perfect, lovely, relaxing week and couldn’t have asked for more. We will return next year! Highly recommend.
This place is beautiful!! Great fun for the whole family. Good fishing right off the dock, the staff was awesome and very helpful, the cabin we stayed at was amazing! I couldn’t speak more highly for this resort! I would definitively highly recommend! A very nice marina and bait store on premise ad well!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
