The Eagle Ridge Resort is located in northern Minnesota, approximately 15 miles northeast of the city of Bemidji.
The Eagle Ridge Resort offers six cabins ranging from one to four bedrooms as well as 10 campsites for tents and recreational vehicles. Of the six cabins, two are modern, while the other four are considered rustic. The resort allows pets in the cabins for an additional charge, but asks that guests notify the resort in advance and that loud barking dogs not be brought. Quiet hours between 10:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. are enforced.
All cabins are equipped with kitchen utensils, as well as essential kitchen appliances such as coffeemakers, microwaves and toasters, ranges, refrigerator-freezers.

Campsites have access to fire pits and electric and water hookups.
Included in the cabin rental price is a 14-foot fishing boat or dock space for one boat. Guests are allowed access to the pontoon for sunbathing. The resort's lodge is equipped with a television and a pool table and also houses a gift shop where guests can purchase souvenirs and some fishing supplies.

For a fee, the resort can arrange guide service for half a day or an entire day.
