A great place with everything you could want while relaxing and fishing until your heart is content. The cabins are cozy, clean, and contain all you need to meet your needs. The service is outstanding and very personable.

We stayed for a long weekend getaway at the JK outpost. Cottage was beautiful. What an amazing spot. The kids had a blast at the private beach. Fishing right out front. Can’t wait to return next year.

Greatest place on earth. Kyle and hos team are amazing and so welcoming. Cabins are very clean and well kept. Perfect to get you away from all the hustle and bustle. And don't get me started on the fishing. You got everything in dogtooth lake. And if you are adventures head through the narrows and explore other lakes. Kids to adults will fall in love with Dogtooth resort.

Great place, Kyle and the rest of the staff were very accommodating, stopped what they were doing to give us a hand. Took the time to make sure we were catching fish, comfortable in our cabins. Anyone who says the cabins are run down should probably just stay on lake Minnetonka where they belong. Great experience all around and we will be back!

The walleye fishing is spectacular once you get to know the lake, BIG WALLEYE! We couldn’t ask for anything more! Highly recommended.
