Great experience! Very friendly and personable staff and the food was first class; worthy of any fine restaurant. We had great fishing as one of our 2 of our party of 4 have been there a lot and knew where to fish. The owner also gave us places to try if ours did'nt produce. Nice walleyes and slab crappies like I never caught before. This place is a real hidden gem! You will be amazed.

Absolutely a bucket list visit. The meals were amazing, a great variety of tastes. The cabin was clean, solid, well maintained and the bathroom was up to date. The staff were friendly, accommodating and quick to make sure our stay was pleasant in all regards. Docks and boats were in great condition. Our guide, Daniel, worked tirelessly to keep us on the fish and made our shore lunches memorable. Doesn’t hurt that I picked up a PR Musky. So many stories from this trip, I can heartily recommend New Moon Lodge. Thank you Rocky and Kathy!

Absolutely superb experience here at New Moon Lodge, and they truly do take care garlic of you here. From the time you leave the dock and boat out to the island, to the time you depart from the island, you’ll treated with excellent hospitality. The owners here are hands on enough to ensure you have a seamless entrance and exit. The chef staff here is beyond all expectations, and I’m talking high end restaurant quality dinners prepared for you every night you are here. I brought a party of 4 here and each of us were amazed by the taste, presentation, and variety of the foods over our 4 nights. The wait staff was respectful, professional, and funny. For the fishermen and women whose priorities are size and length over lodge accommodations, you can’t go wrong either. We came in July and our guides were superb, and our shore lunches were delicious (cooked with the mornings catch). From jigging for walleye to targeting musky, they’ll keep you busy all day (and everyday). The lodge we stayed in and was cozy and breezy enough to keep you cool on the hot days. Breakfast was served every morning before you head out to fish and was hearty and filling. The final verdict: As anyone that’s fished knows, you can’t control the bite and you can’t control the weather. New Moon has an iron grip on things they can control: food service, hospitality, and location. I really don’t have a negative thing to say. They deserve the 5 star reviews and they have put the work in to get it.

We boated to New Moon Lodge to enjoy a superb gourmet meal prepared by Kristen Moon. If you don't have a boat they will also arrange to pick you up. 5 star location and 5 star meal. Consider their overnight dinner, cabin and breakfast pkg. It would make a fantastic getaway. Can't say enough about our meal and the hospitality of New Moon Lodge. Must do while on Lake of the Woods.
