A Christmas To Remember
It was the hand of God working when I stumbled onto MaxxedOut lodge and chose it for our 2021Christmas gathering. My husband died of cancer last December and our family had always gathered at the Dawson Racquetball Club that is now a church so that was no longer an option. Having stayed at many VRBO properties in the past I was surprised to see this property just pop up on my screen I live in Dawson and I had no idea this lodge was even here. A hunter I am not but 25 0f us gathered and truly had The Best Christmas in what had been an extremely difficult year for all of us Graham was so easy to work with and Ashley had fresh cookies just out of the oven when I arrived We have already made our reservations to return in 2022. I would highly recommend Maxxedout Lodge to all

Family experience
The property is nice and neat. It has plenty of beds for a large family or several families. It's in a quiet part of rural Minnesota which we liked. The town of Dawson is an awesome town. They are very friendly and helpful. Ashley did a nice job of giving us a tour and being patient with us when we were running late. Her notebook about local highlights was very helpful and useful. Our stay was delightful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with my family.

Excellent response to any questions prior to stay. Great welcome by the property manager. Perfect for large groups with options to spread out. Only downside was the living room furniture, (time for some new couches and chairs). Otherwise exactly as advertised and will likely return with our annual get together, thanks !

7 couples that became friends in AZ for the winter gathered at Maxxed Out Guides for a few days of golf, fun, eating and a lot of laughs! This place was just what we were looking for and it didn't disappoint! It was great to stay all under one roof and the accommodations were just what we were looking for. You'll be happy you stayed here - I know we were!

Our family had a wonderful time at Maxxed Out Guides! There was plenty of sleeping accommodations for the 22 people in our group! Plenty of room to sprawl out whether indoors or outdoors. The game room was a hit for the younger kids and teenagers. Lots of yard space for games of all sorts! Very private and secluded! Everyone had a great time!! Sara was very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend this resort for a family getaway! Shay

Great getaway place.
Cabin was nice and big, it really did fit all 19 of us. Backyard was great, it dried up in time before our stay and we were able to set up our volleyball net. Firepit was right by the deck so it was easy access. Gameroom was actually very pleasant with the pingpong table and a nice smart TV. The only small problems we had was that the beds were too hard as it is loaded with springs and we would constantly wake up sore all-around our bodies. There seems to be quite some dust as our allergies kicked in whenever we stayed inside. And we couldn't get the oven to work but that wasnt a big deal. Also, the photos showing the lake and fishing dock should probably be taking down or captioned as a nearby lake, because we initially planned for a lake but found out it was actually 15-20mins drive away. Overall, definitely a nice getaway cabin in the middle of farm lands, fits a big group of people as well and great communication with Sarah.

19 adults stayed comfortably in the lodge it was a cold snowing weekend and we had fun
The lodge was clean and well stocked for our group of 19. We brought a couple of folding tables and chairs for meals and game playing, other than that it was fine. Our group went into Dawson bowling on Saturday afternoon and we enjoyed the hospitality of the Dawson bowl. We would stay again for our winter weekend getaway.
