Red Lake Motel

[Thumper]

We're doing a fly-in out of Red Lake in May and the flight time is 6am on Saturday. I'm figuring we'd want to stay in or close to Red Lake on Friday night. Anyone have any suggestions for the cheapest place to stay? A bed and a toilet are about all we'd need for 11pm Friday to 5am Saturday.

Try Red Dog Inn. What outfit are you fishing with up there?

[WillieB]

Great area!!

We flew out of there last fall. Watch out for moose on the drive to Red Lake.

Like Fisher asked, what outfit are you using?

[Thumper]

Yeah, we've seen moose a few times on 105. Heckava site!

We're flying in with Viking Outposts. My first time using them, but I've been talking to them for the last year and a half (it's been a long time coming). 10 weeks and 5 days...

I tried to look up Red Dog Inn but only found motels of that name in Kenora and Ft. Francais. Any contact info for the one in Red Lake? or other suggestions?

Here is a list of places in Red Lake. It's a little dated but should help.
Howey Bay Motel 807-727-3419

Red Lake Inn 807-727-2161

Norseman Inn 807-727-2858

The Waterfront 807-727-1171

We stayed at the Red Lake Inn last year. Should be just what your looking for. Restaurant and bar right next door. Viking Outpost just down the street. Cabin fever is killing me. We dont go till August.

If you see Hughs daughter Harriet, tell her Eric said hi, that'll freak her out.

You picked a good operation. Their Norseman airplane is a real beauty. Really good people.

The Howey Bay motel has been good for us, plus they have a bar with pool tables and the restaurant serves a good breakfast. 800-263-4693

I don't know if "freakin' out" Hugh's daughter is such a good idea - Hugh is pretty much a Huge guy! I just saw him briefly once last year and he must've gone 6'8" 350lbs. :7

[Thumper]

Beds, Food, Pool tables _AND_ a Bar... we have a front-runner here!:9

I called and they have rooms - double occupancy would run about $30 a head. Not too bad, I suppose it'll be hard to get anything cheaper during fishing season.

[River_eye]

Well, it wouldn't freak her out, we're good friends, but you're right, you wouldn't want to get on Hughs bad side, I can tell you that.
