Top Hotels Near Ponto Lake in Backus

"The mgr Danny went over and above by offering to pick us up at the nearby casino after a concert. There are no ride share options in the area so his willingness to do this was very much appreciated. The rest of the staff did a great job and were very friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend this hotel. Thanks "

"Very well maintained and comfortable accommodations. Very helpful and friendly. Excellent dining and lovely outdoor patio area looking over the lake. Fred and Brock looked after us very well at dinner. Plentiful continental breakfast with really good coffee, omelettes and scones …. And my friend says the pastries too!"

"Close to downtown with a few restaurants (lots closed on Wed) Clean, nice room. Thanks!"

"This property went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Our family spent a long weekend here and celebrated our wedding on the most beautiful Saturday afternoon. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we had a lakeside ceremony, dinner on the patio, and dancing in the dogtrot. The evening was capped by a warm fire in the dogtrot and a rainbow over the house – it felt like something out of a dream!Our families and friends couldn’t stop raving about the home – inside and out, it’s clean, spacious, and very welcoming. There are so many amazing, comfy spots to hangout. One of our favorite moments was being greeted by a family of deer as we pulled in our first day. Each morning, they’d wander through while we sipped coffee and soaked in the view. We also saw eagles, loons and friendly chipmunks. The mix of comfort, nature, and beauty here is unmatched.From the very beginning, Clay and Angi were wonderful to work with. Their communication was thoughtful and detailed, which made everything run so smoothly. This wasn’t just a weekend getaway. It became the backdrop for one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. We are excited to comeback to celebrate our anniversaries for years to come!"

"Clean, well appointed roooms and lobby. Walkable to dining. Staff wasn't aware of wedding shuttle information."

"We absolutely adored this little cabin! It was perfect for our end of summer family get-away. The lake is so clean and clear and it was a blast fishing from the dock. Lots to do in neighboring towns (mini golf, little shops, mystery maze) The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend! "

"The home was exactly as advertised and then some. A beautiful spot on a quiet bay on Rush lake. The setting and amenities couldn't have been better. We enjoyed fishing of the dock, boating (we rented a pontoon), afternoon/evening fires, games on the screened in porch, relaxing in both of the huge living areas, and making meals on the large kitchen with ample appliances and utensils. The view in the morning and evening was spectacular. Would definitely recommend and would enjoy this again for a large family get together!"

"We were very happy with this cabin! What a great experience. We arrived very lake, but access was easy and painless. The channel was also surreal at night with all the docks lit up across the water. Our favorite feature was probably the swing on the deck where we could sit and drink a morning coffee while listening to the loons. Then again I also enjoyed cooking bacon on the Blackstone while watching the great blue herons fish. Being able to enjoy the smell of my smoking pork shoulder on the Traeger while watching the bald eagles was pretty great too. If you are a boater, being on the channel gives you access to all the lakes while protecting your own boat in a sheltered spot where you can also watch all the boats drive past. My kids loved the sandy bottom shore with tons of curious fish. We all enjoyed the fact that there were tubes to use when our own tube sprung a leak. Being able to kayak and paddle board while watching the sunrise was also a highlight. My spouse loved the very clean and modern interior with tons of space for everyone. Almost forgot, who doesn't love a warm bidet on a cold morning? When we left, the ice maker provided us with plenty of ice to keep our food cold on the way home. My kids were looking forward to using the fire pit, but we had so much to do, we never got to that. On a rainy day, we had games to play and also went into town to check out the coffee shops and my kids especially loved the model railway museum and mini golfing in Crosslake. "

"Two families needed a fun get away from the cities and this was just what we needed!"
