 Cedar
Rapids Lodge is a family resort on the shore of Medicine
Lake in the Bemidji Area of northern Minnesota. We have 45 well-groomed
acres and a beautiful one-half mile of pristine shoreline.
Our entire grounds are at lake level with all cottages close
to the lake for easy access. Come experience the peace
and solitude, as we are the only resort on the
lake.
At Cedar Rapids Lodge, we offer a variety of resort
activities and excellent fishing. Our lake features
walleye, northern, bluegill, crappie, and largemouth
bass. The beach area is a gradual sand slope absolutely
ideal for swimming. The wildlife is fabulous!
Please consider Cedar Rapids Lodge for your family vacation this year.
We know that you will love the peace and quiet of the Northwoods and invite you to experience the same.
We hope that you'll come and see for yourself why our
guests find it so hard to leave this special place any
time of the year.

Our family is
the 5th owners
of Cedar Rapids
Lodge, built in
1933 by Harry
Archer from
Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. He built
the cabins by
hand with
tamarac logs
harvested around
the lake. Ray
and Norma
Williams owned
the resort from
1944-1971,
adding a
swimming pool in
1965 to create a
"family" resort
atmosphere. Don
and Vivian
Helgeson bought
the resort in
1971 and raised
their 4
daughters here,
staying until
1987 when they
sold the resort
to Jen’s
parents, Steve
and Pat Addler.
They moved here
from Illinois in
1987 with 4
young children
and put their
heart and soul
into the resort
for 30 years. We
purchased this
piece of heaven
in 2017 and are
fortunate that
my parents are
sticking around
to help. They
love it too much
to leave! Marc
and I are now
raising our 3
kids here and we
could not be
more excited.
Our 13
cabins are
vacation homes,
available for
rent from
mid-May to
October. Our
cabins are all
air-conditioned
with the
comforts of
home. Monday
Night Potluck is
a tradition
started in the
40s and
continues every
week...good
food...good
company!
We cater to
kids and their
families. We
welcome each
cabin's guests
each week with a
plate of cookies
and an offer to
help unload the
car...we treat
our guests like
family and enjoy
spending a
vacation with
them!
