Group of friends suggested going to East Silent Lake Resort for their Taco Night. Three Tacos for $7. The facility and grounds are beautiful with new buildings and well planned and maintained landscaping. The tacos were generous and delicious with home made tortillas and fresh ingredients. The staff was very friendly and served or large group in a very timely manner. The resort looked to be very active but signed indicated access to the grounds and beach were reserved for resort guests only, which we respected. We will definitely be back!

We had an ice fishing trip and the large Bear Den cabin at East Silent Lake Resort worked perfect for our 8-person group. Plenty of room for all our gear to stage on the lower level, too. Even caught some nice walleye in front of the place. We fished several lakes in the area and liked this location. Perfect for what we needed.

Fantastic accommodations. Had three bedroom Big Stone. Beds great. Picked it for handicap features but needed walk in shower not just prolific grab bars which it had and other than parking not as close as we would have liked, amenities with free paddle boats canoes kayaks and more were more than expected

We headed to East Silent Lake Resort to take advantage of local bird watching areas. While I am not an avid bird-watcher, my brother, who is, had a great experience seeing a wide variety of birds. The cabin we stayed in was cozy and clean! It was just a short walk from the dock where pedal boats, canoes, and kayaks were available to explore the lake. There was no fire pit with the cabin, which I was a bit disappointed to see. However, the lodge was a very nice, clean building with lots of seating to play cards, eat, or just relax. The resort is about a 10 minute drive from the nearest town - that was helpful when we needed to run to the store for more food. Recommended for a quiet weekend on the lake!

My entire family have gone to East Silent Resort for over 20 years. We've seen the resort blossom and flourish since the Leonard Family arrived and highly endorse it as the perfect place to spend fun and relaxing times at the lake. The cabins, grounds, beach and the beautiful new lodge are immaculate and well-appointed, but if there's anything you need-just ask and you will receive it, along with a friendly smile!

The Family who owns the resort are hospitable and nurture your experience. The resort is beautiful. The new Lodge is a great space to meet and greet. The lake is free of traffic. The added option of a meal serviced at lodge sounds wonderful but we did mot take advantage of it yet.

The resort is operated by the Leonard family. Everything they do is first class. The landscaping of the grounds is beautiful. The cabins are clean. Everything works. Everyone is friendly. There activities everyday. The little kids are kept busy with their activities. We have a great ice cream social one night and smores another night. We have a large expanding multi-generational group so we are glad that the resort is also expanding.
