Peaceful Northwoods Lake Retreat
Clean, Well-Cared-For Cabins on Pimushe Lake
Meaningful Family Vacations & Quality Fishing Near Bemidji, MN
Welcome to Pimushe Resort — a peaceful Northwoods lake retreat on beautiful Pimushe Lake near Bemidji, Minnesota.
Our thoughtfully maintained cabins offer clean, comfortable accommodations where families and anglers return year after year. Stay here to relax deeply, enjoy great fishing, and reconnect with loved ones in an uncrowded, natural setting. We pride ourselves on cabins that sparkle — because the only thought we want you to have is, “This feels worth it.”
Handcrafted Northwoods Cabins on Pimushe Lake
Built from local lumber over the past 80 years, our cabins reflect the craftsmanship and character of the Northwoods — ranging from quaint and classic to stunning lakefront retreats.
Every cabin offers a view of Pimushe Lake, and with a limited number of cabins overall, we intentionally remain uncrowded — preserving the quiet beauty and relaxed pace our guests return for year after year.
Each space is thoughtfully maintained and freshly prepared, with private porches overlooking the water and outdoor firepits where evenings naturally unfold. It’s here — under open skies beside the lake — that stories are shared, marshmallows are roasted, and traditions quietly begin.
This is Northwoods living, beautifully kept.
South Bay Swim & Inflatable Water Park Fun
Right outside your cabin in the south bay, our swim area is framed by two 150-foot docks and designed for full-on summer enjoyment.
Our inflatable water park is a guest favorite, giving kids (and plenty of adults!) hours of active fun on the water. Add in swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding, and it’s easy to spend the entire day outside.
With seven miles of beautiful, uncrowded lake surrounding you, there’s room to explore — and a lively hub of activity right at the heart of the resort.
Your vacation is for you and your family
You should do as much or as little as you like — we strive to make that possible at Pimushe Resort.
“If you come to Pimushe just for the fishing, you are missing most of the beauty at Pimushe”
– Dick Cole, guest since 1974
Pontoon & Fishing Boat Rentals
For guests who want more time on the water, we offer practical pontoon and fishing boat rentals right from the resort.
Our fleet is geared toward getting you where you want to go — whether that’s exploring Pimushe Lake’s shoreline, spending the day fishing, or enjoying a relaxed cruise with family. Convenient on-site access means less coordinating and more time outside.
Bringing your own boat? We offer an on-site launch for guest use, and our docks provide power for both resort rentals and privately owned boats — making it easy to stay ready for the next early morning on the lake.
Simple, reliable, and built for time on the water.
Fishing on Pimushe Lake
Pimushe Lake offers seven miles of uncrowded water, abundant structure, and protected shoreline that make it ideal for anglers who appreciate variety and room to explore.
The lake supports a diverse fishery including walleye, black crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, rock bass, bullheads, and bowfin. While walleye reward patience and persistence, many anglers quietly appreciate the quality panfish and consistent action the lake provides.
With long stretches of shoreline, islands, and natural structure — and very little personal watercraft traffic — the atmosphere remains relaxed and fishing-friendly throughout the season.
It’s the kind of lake that anglers return to, season after season.
Minnesota fishing licenses are required and may be purchased online for your convenience.
