17 CABIN RESORT
- EST. 1938 -
Where Generations of Memories are Made
Welcome to Heath's Resort, where our family is here to help yours create lasting memories. Since 1938, we’ve been sharing the beauty of the Whitefish Chain with guests who come back year after year for good times, laughter, and a chance to unwind together. Just three hours north of Minneapolis, we’re proud to be a place where families, couples, and friends can reconnect in a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Our 17 cozy cabins are more than just places to stay—they’re spaces to make memories. Ranging from snug 2-bedroom retreats to spacious 6-bedroom cabins, each one is thoughtfully set up with everything you need to feel right at home. From fully equipped kitchens to Satellite TV and free Wi-Fi, we’ve got the conveniences covered so you can focus on enjoying your time together.
Some of the best moments happen over a meal, and every cabin includes an outdoor patio with a grill—perfect for everything from pancakes in the morning to s'mores at night. Gather around, share stories, and soak in the beauty of the great outdoors while you dine.
At Heath’s Resort, we care deeply about your experience. Whether you’re fishing, paddling across the lake, roasting marshmallows by the fire, or simply soaking in the quiet moments, we’re here to make your visit unforgettable. Our goal is to give you a place to slow down, laugh a little louder, and leave with memories that will bring you back again.
For bigger gatherings, the Reunion House is your go-to spot. Added in 2010, this lodge-inspired home was built with togetherness in mind. With four bedrooms, a big stone fireplace, and a full kitchen with granite countertops, it’s perfect for bringing everyone together under one roof. There’s even a laundry room for those extra sandy swimsuits.
Step out onto the covered porch and take in the view of the lake or the surrounding Red Pine woods. The private fire pit is waiting for stories and s’mores, and the nearby basketball court is ready for a friendly game. With a BBQ area and a golf cart to help you explore, everything is set up for you to enjoy your time to the fullest.
At Heath’s Resort, we’re more than just a getaway—we’re a place where families grow closer, traditions are made, and memories are cherished. We can’t wait to welcome you and make you feel like part of our extended family. See you soon!
