We Are Here, When You Are Ready
At Timber Bay Lodge and Houseboats our goal has always been to provide you with a wonderful and memorable vacation. We are prepared to do that again this summer! Even amongst the recent Covid-19 challenges we face, we want to ensure you your safety and wellbeing is our priority.
We feel Timber Bay Lodge and Houseboats inherently meets social distancing guidelines recommended by the CDC. Our spacious grounds, tall Norway pines, well-spaced cabins, and 20 miles of Birch Lake with remote houseboat campsites are perfect for your family vacation with us.
We will be taking additional measures and making adjustments to help you vacation worry free with consideration to Covid-19. We will update you within the week prior to your arrival with any changes or adjustments that are in place if necessary. We are in communication with local health authorities and abide by all current standards and recommendations. We ask that you help implement these adjustments for the health of your family, other guests and our staff.
CHECK IN/CHECK OUT
We welcome you! Please know we are excited to have you here as our guests!
CABIN GUESTS- Once you’ve arrived feel free to give us a wave from your cabin and consider yourself checked in. At some point, please stop in the office, so we can get the names of everyone staying with you. The office is open if you’d rather stop in upon arrival.
HOUSEBOAT GUESTS- Check In will need to take place in our office area. Social Distancing will apply. If you are a returning houseboat guest and would like to check in/out remotely please contact us ahead of time.
HOUSEKEEPING
Additional housekeeping measures will be taken following Minnesota Dept. of Health guidelines. Cleanliness is a priority for Timber Bay Lodge and Houseboats. Our sheets will continue to be washed with hot water, sanitizer and strong detergent. At this time, we are asking all guests to please bring your own Pillows, Blankets and Towels. We will supply sheets for all beds in the cabins. Depending on circumstances, we may ask you to adjust your arrival/departure times to allow enough time to properly clean and sanitize.
Arrival and Departure times may be adjusted to allow for proper implentation of Minnesota Dept. of Health guidelines.
SANITIZATION STATIONS
Disinfectant stations will be located around the resort. We welcome guests to wipe down beach chairs, bikes, and water equipment etc. prior to use. Our staff will also be disinfecting this equipment throughout the day.
EQUIPMENT RENTALS
We will continue the rental of lake/fishing equipment. All equipment will be cleaned following current guidelines after each use.
COMMUNAL AREAS
