We booked with Cheryl and Gary 3 years ago and Covid caused rescheduling until we finally made it to Harris Hill last week. Cheryl was very flexible and attentive during the 3 years of rescheduling and did everything she could to accommodate us. We had a group of 4 guys up for the week and caught an unbelievable amount of fish, couple of 26+ inch walleyes as well. The cabins are beautiful and provide everything you need. Most importantly, Cheryl, Gary, and their team go out of their way to ensure you have what you need and provide maps of recommended fishing spots. We had an absolute blast at the resort and truly experienced the "world class" walleye fishing that Lake of the Woods has to offer thanks to Cheryl and Gary. They set us up for success the moment we checked in!
We had a great experience with Gary and Cheryl. Had boats if you needed them (we used our own) but they were all very clean and updated. The cabins were adorable. Modern electric ranges, refrigerator, microwave and crock pots available. Cable (WiFi) TV, all the comforts of home. Towels supplied. Pots and pans, dish soap. Spacious cabins. We already booked for next year!!! Plus.....the great fishing is always a plus!
Great cabins and location on Lake of The Woods! Fish were biting and weather was great. Hosts Gary and Cheryl very accommodating and attentive. Making it an annual trip! A+++
Great resort with very friendly owners that go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. The cabins are very clean and have most everything you need for a great stay. The boats are very nice and very well maintained. And the fishing was great. My friend I both caught our personal best. If you're looking for a great resort on Lake of the Woods I would strongly recommend Harris Hill Resort.
Service was Excellent and the Property is amazing.......Great way to spend the morning on the docks looking out to Lake of the Woods!!!!! My Cabin was very clean and organized. Everything there needed for my three day stay. I have stayed there 3 times already and will be back in October again......
Just spent three days of fishing at Harris Hill Resort. Cheryl and Gary run a great resort and made our stay perfect. Rental boats have ample motors and plenty of space. We really enjoyed being able to relax after a day of great fishing in a comfy cabin. The A/C in the cabins and ceiling fans made the cabins comfy even though the daytime temperatures were pretty high. Fishing was great and we caught a lot of fish. We really appreciated the two days we spent with Alex (our guide). He knows the lake and put us on top of great fishing spots. He also makes a mean shore lunch. We’ll definitely be back next year!
While in area for work, I reached out looking for a room and Cheryl was beyond accommodating. The property is pristine and the dock set up is Fantastic. Highly recommend this place as the owners clearly care. Cheryl's service was above and beyond. Thanks
We are just returning home from our family fishing trip. This was our first trip outside of the US with our kids. We couldn’t recommend Harris Hills enough for anyone looking to escape and do lots of fishing! We were impressed with how clean and updated the cabins are, along with all the things you may during your stay. Along with Cheryl and Gary’s great hospitality and very accommodating! We are already planning our return to Harris Hills!
