 Our
rich tradition in Crosslake Minnesota began as a vision over a half
century ago. It was 1934 in Minnesota's lake country, a time when the
distant howling of the wolves would frequent the evening twilight, when
towering stands of pines stood untouched as they had for centuries, and
when the rugged and natural beauty of the northwoods, the crystalline
lakes and the bountiful fishing attracted only the most adventuresome.
Lynn Boyd had the calling of the north, a
calling that compelled him to not only live here, but to enhance its
beauty and share it with those who were to follow. And follow they did.
Initially, Lynn and Ceil Boyd provided lodging to those wanting to fish
the abundant waters of Whitefish Lake. But as visitors began to discover
that Boyd Lodge was more than a fishing lodge, their numbers began to
increase, as did the demand for lodging facilities. Families began to
come, seeking not only exceptional fishing, but also a place to relax
and enjoy a family vacation. Year after year they return to enjoy the
beauty of Whitefish Lake, and the friendly, hospitable family atmosphere
that has long been the Boyd tradition.
In 1967 Lynn and Ceil's daughter Nancy
and husband Roger Schwieters took over the operation of the resort. They
made many additions and improvements to the resort over the years. Here
they raised their family of three children and two foster children. In
1983 the townhouse project (loft cabins) was started. These cabins have
been a wonderful family vacation destination ever since.
The year 2008 brought about big changes
for Boyd Lodge once again, with the sale of the resort. The resort plans
for the
redevelopment of the original seasonal cabins, with 30+ architecturally
designed homes that will preserve the historic and rustic feel of the
resort. Some of these properties will be privately owned, however for
busy families that can't stay "at the lake" full time, a portion of the
cottages will be available for fractional purchase. These fractional
cottages are also available for rent.
Whether you choose
The Loft Cabins or
The
Cottages at Boyd Lodge we know that you will enjoy the
exceptional facilities, impeccable grounds, a great lakeshore location
and a warm, friendly welcome any time of the year.
