Unorganized. What a Mickey Mouse operation they’ve got going on. Rented canoes for a few days and paid an arm and a leg. On top of that they charged me $75 to patch a scratch on the canoe that was already there. I guess their business model is to get you for as much as they can while they got you there. Repeat business isn’t what they’re after.

For the Owner, Thank you So much for having us. We were scheduled for a week but my pacemaker had other plans for us. Everyone else!! This is a really fun place to relax and get away frome it all!! The staff here will have your back and accommodate you the best they can. I will go back and I hope soon! Nor'Wester thank you for the fun I did have!

We had a very disappointing experience with our BWCA Outfitting and gear rentals from Nor'wester. The canoe and sleeping pad they gave us were both really old and worn out, definitely not even close to the quality that we've rented from other outfitters in the area before (but they charge the same price). The canoe shoulder pad was ripped and broke off which was a painful experience for portaging. They don't rent spot/gps devices like other outfitters do, and their store wasn't even open so we couldn't buy the last minute things we needed. The guys working werent very knowledgeable about the entry points and routes nearby, much less farther away. I think this could be a safety issue for newcomers to the bwca, luckily we've been in before so could figure it out. When I commented about our issues, the management did not apologize, or even seem to care. Would not recommend using them as an outfitter for bwca trips, there are much better outfitters in the area.

This was our second year of coming to this outfitters cabin. Owners are very accommodating. The snow was a beautiful site. The cabin was clean and gave a home feeling, very comforting. The cabin was equipped with household essentials which made the trip a lot easier. When leaving we got stuck twice in the snow and their employees were very helpful and did not give up until we were unstuck and out on the road. We plan to make this our yearly destination for our vacation.
