Historical

High Banks Resort has been a fixture on Minnesota's Lake Winnibigoshish since 1929, when it was owned by Mr. & Mrs. Inwald Nelson. Several of the cabins, though renovated, are original to the resort and still feature their amazing stone fireplaces. And the sunsets are still just as glorious!

Lake

Winnibigoshish is the 5th-largest lake in Minnesota, and High Banks Resort is one of the most beautiful and secluded locations on the water! Rent a fishing boat or pontoon and fish the teeming waters or go for a relaxing cruise. Enjoy water toys and gorgeous lakeside sunsets on your MN lake getaway!

Cabins And Cottages

High Banks Resort features four log cabins original to the resort, with beautiful stone fireplaces in working condition! Seven other wood-framed cabins were built in the 1950s and embody the charm of this stunning locale. This is what a lakeside Minnesota cabin getaway is all about.
