Nestled inside the Chippewa National Forest alongside scenic Moose Lake, this rustic resort offers a peaceful retreat away from city bustle. Guests stay in charming 1- and 2-story cabins that blend comfort with natural surroundings. The on-site bar-grill serves classic American dishes, perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors.
Families appreciate the kid-friendly atmosphere, including a water park and a playground that promise fun for younger guests. Water lovers can explore the lake with kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear, and pontoon boats, taking in the area's wildlife such as loons and eagles. Fishing enthusiasts often return for the consistent good catches right off the dock.
While remote, the resort is accessible by car from Bemidji Regional Airport, making it a favored destination for travelers seeking a laid-back Northwoods experience. The nearby lakes—Kitchi, Pimushe, and Cass—offer additional outdoor activities, encouraging exploration of this tranquil region.

“Awesome place to stay and kid friendly. The grandkids loved the water park and spent all day out in the water. The food was great and fishing was awesome. We have been trying to get in for years and got lucky when someone cancelled. We plan to come back again next year. Thanks Brittany & Quaid for your hospitality.You run a great resort.”
“I just have to start off to say thank you to Brittany and Quaid for all of their help and flexibility. We just got back home after the wedding we hosted at the resort. The new owners were not only helpful with preparations, but also with any issues that arose during the weekend. The resort was beautiful, it had great views of the lake, and the cabins were very clean and had all the amenities you could want. Pictures soon to follow!”
“We stayed in the most economic (oldest) cabin and very much enjoyed our stay! Definitely worth the price/night. Family of 5 had tons of fun in the water and on the floaties. Exploring with the kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat while watching loons & bald eagles was a treat between bean bag games. Enjoying an outdoor happy hour at the lodge while supervising the kids on the playground was a highlight as well as the ice cream social!”
“We stopped Mother's day for lunch, they had just lost electricity but that didn't deter them from accomodating us. We enjoyed a burger and wrap with fries and onion rings along with cold beer. It was delicious, the hosts are great and we'll come back again soon!”
“Best place to have a cold drink and sit back and relax. Can go out on the lake can catch some good fish. Could easily spend a whole month there. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Our family has been going to Paradise Resort for over 30 years. I was a kid when we first started going. I have had my kids and now grandkids with to continue the tradition. As we go every year it’s been very cool to watch it develop to what it is today. Now with it being kept and run by the same family just adds to the positive. Brit and Quaid are doing an awesome job. The experience and atmosphere have not changed. They are very good hosts and they truly do care about you enjoying your time. The cabins are well kept and there are many amenities for the family, the fishing is great. Keep up the great work guys. See you next year!”
“My family and I having been going “Up North” for many many years, this was our first year with Brittany and Quaid as the new owners as Mary and Wade retired since last year. It was honestly as if nothing has changed and I love that!! Brittany has her dad’s humor as well as her mom’s caring personality and her attention to detail is amazing! Quaid is approachable and kind! This year my baby is a year old and was able to explore and loved the lake, fishing, and playing with the basketball area! We are so pleased with another wonderful year at Paradise Resort and as usual, are already counting down the days until next year!! Thank you Brittany and Quaid!!”
