It was a very clean cabin. We are right on the lake and view is amazing. Its alway fun to see all the fish people get. The new owners have done a fabulous job on the resort. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Would recommend to anyone!!!
The owners are very friendly and helpful. They have updated the exterior of the cabins. The interior needs updating... bed and couch. The resort is on beautiful Lake Reno. We rented a pontoon from the owners, which was nice and ran well.
This is a great little resort. The owner told us where the fish were biting and what hooks and bait we should use for the best results. This was great being the first time fishing this lake. My daughter had a blast realing in some nice fish. I will definitely be going back.
Wonderful little resort. Stayed a few years ago and would not have been able to say that then. But now they have done a phenomenal job at bringing this place back to what it should be!! Will definitely be coming back here!!
Had an awesome stay with my son and I. Fishing was great. Fires by the lake in the evening was just what my son wanted. Jamie did a great job of making sure we had what we needed for the stay.
Rented Ice Castle Ridge Runner for 2 nights (1-3 & 1-4-2026). Fish house was clean and well equipped. Jamie put us on good walleye spot. My wife and I, along with 2 adult sons, had a great time! Jamie is the best and made sure we had all we needed. Highly recommend!!
Rented an RV Ice Castle and the service received was awesome!! The rental came fully loaded with linens, dishes, pots and pans, and other incidentals. Jamie was great in getting everything set up and walking me through all the functions. Definitely recommend Lake Reno Resorts and Rentals!!
The experience here was amazing!! Have never been and for a first time trip it was amazing!! The lake was beautiful and I have never seen a lake so clear!! I enjoyed the most fishing off of the dock and swimming in the lake! I enjoyed the patio area to eat and play games but you could also a great view of the lake! I hope to come back again and make some more memories at a wonderful place like Lake Reno Resort!
