The Four Seasons Resort has been owned and operated by the Thompson family since 1976.  Purchased by Arden and Jeanette, they operated the resort with their four boys, Jeff, Joe, Steve, and Paul.  In 1984, Joe and his wife Tami returned to help manage the resort.  In 1999, Joe and Tami with their kids, David, Mark, and Alison took over the operation.  Our strength is the continuity of service provided to our customers.  We have had the same staff for the past eight years.  Guests look forward to seeing familiar faces when they arrive.

Iowana Beach Resort is nestled into the Chippewa National Forest on the shores of beautiful Portage Lake in Northern Minnesota, midway between Grand Rapids and Bemidji Minnesota.    With only two resorts on the lake and little residential development here, guests find a relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy nature. Iowana Beach Resort is an angler's paradise offering excellent fishing on Portage Lake as well as close proximity to world-class fisheries like Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake. Kids love our sandy beach which features a "kids only" fishing dock and a waterslide.  Our shoreline is shallow so there is no need to worry about sharp drop-offs as the kids wade or swim.   Iowana Beach Resort offers you 16 Minnesota Lake Cabins with great views of Portage Lake that will provide you with a relaxing and memorable Minnesota vacation experience.
