Such a nice resort! Our boat captain Ross went above and beyond to give us a 5 star Lake of the Woods experience. Staff was very kind and polite.

This was our first time staying at this resort and we loved the peace and tranquility Riversbend had to offer us. The staff here was super helpful and even brought us firewood to our cabin when we asked where we could get some so we could start a fire. The staff there went above and beyond to get us on a fishing charter for a full day which was absolutely amazing! We caught our limit of walleye and the captain Keith was very knowledgeable of the big lake and definitely put us on the fish every time we moved to another location. Fishing was phenomenal! We will definitely be staying here again!
The only thing we could say something negative about our stay was when we were at the bar the bar staff was attentive at first but as the night went on they started to pay more attention to there friends that were there and when we sat the bar waiting to get another drink it took about 5-15 minutes to get the bartenders attention. We really didn't like looking down at them and looking at there phone and looking down at us with our empty cups on the bar and ignoring us. We got tired of waiting so we paid the bill and just walked to another resort, which are walking distance from each other.
Overall this place is definitely a must stay at! We will definitely be booking another stay. Thanks again guys for the memories I was able to make with my kids. See you soon .

As a group, we have been coming up to Riverbend Resort for over 30 years. We rent cabins and charter fishing boats. The cabin we are in was totally rebuilt a few years ago and it is still in very good condition. The single beds are clean and comfortable. The living room is nice and it has an effective A/C which is really nice after a hot day out on the boat. There is a good sized kitchen with a large dining table. We go in the middle of July and have always caught enough fish to eat as much as we wanted and still have enough to bring some home! The captains are friendly and know how to put you on fish. I cannot comment too much on the restaurant because we always have fish to cook and eat at the cabin. The bar is a clean and fun place to toss back a few cold ones in the evening. There is a lot of space and the pool table is put to good use when we are there. If all of this sounds good to you, I need to tell you the best part.....the owners Paul and Brandi. They are really interested in providing a great experience for all their guests. But above all they are just great people!!

We have been coming to River Bend resort for 30 plus years and i will tell you that Paul and Brandi are by far the best owners and run a great resort. We always catch our fish. The cabins are great and Miles Lab Bar has some of the best bar tenders around. This year we had captain Bob as our charter boat captain. Bob was great and put us on fish every day.
Thank you Paul and Brandi for another great vacation!!!

Worst resort to go to around here. The cook is incredibly rude.

Simply the Best place to go for walleye fishing on Lake of the Woods! Winter or summer, River Bend Resort gets my highest rating. The Johnson family, Paul, Brandi, Ryan and Matthew, will go out if their way to make sure everyone staying with them has the best time! I used to live in Baudette, so I know a lot about all of the resorts up there. Feb. 2nd. 2024.

Had a blast. Checked into a cabin the staff in the office was extremely friendly.The cabin was a little bit different than in the pictures but in a good way, a few things had been updated and switched around. Went to the bar to get a drink and the bartender and staff were also very friendly. Cooked dinner in the cabin for the first night, I wasn’t sure what to bring, it said they had pans and cooking utensils and they had enough that you could get things done next time we come and stay in a cabin I might bring another pan and definitely at least one knife, the knifes in our cabin were really small but I made it work.I’d recommend bringing your own pillows they have pillows and they get the job done definitely not what I’m used to though.Went out fishing to a day house in the morning and we had to get shuttled out in one of their heated trailers. Are guide was Greg he was also very nice and knowledgeable. He came throughout the day 3 or 4 times I think, I don’t remember how many. Your guide for the day also delivers pizza if you order it, I would definitely recommend we only brought out drinks and snacks so some nice pizza hit the spot I could have used some napkins or paper towels we forgot to ask or bring some ourselves but we were ok without them.Fishing was slow for everyone we talked to because of the cold our guide said the most he saw in someone’s bucket was 5. We caught 6 or so and had one keeper. We got are ride back to shore and they cleaned are 1 fish lol which I could have done but they offered to and anyway it gives you a chance to go to the bar relax for a bit and get some drinks or food. We had some drinks and burgers. The staff in the bar and restaurant were all really friendly again and the food was really good.I’d definitely stay here again
