About Us
Welcome. We're so glad you found us. We just finished our second summer season running the resort. and are now offering two cabins for year-round rentals. Both Cabin 7 and Cabin 8 are spacious, newly remodeled log cabins, and will be great for families or groups of ice-fishing & snowmobiling enthusiasts.

A little about us:
Tony, originally from the Salol area, was a guide on Lake of the Woods for more than 30 years. He was The Angle's UPS driver for many years but is now focused on managing the resort's maintenance, hocking bait, readying boats and lending a hand doing just about everything.
Kellie grew up in Warroad and later on the West Coast, but she's been running her grandparent's well-worn trails, catching leaches and jumping off the docks at Prothero's since she was a child. She runs the business, cleans cabins, stocks the store and plans the fun, all while managing an ever-changing family. Still, she remembers the wonder this place held for her growing up, and now, for both of them, it's a dream come true to be watching their kiddos discover that same magic now.
History
Here before there was even a road, Grace and Dale Prothero, with four generations of family by their side, founded Prothero's Post Resort and painstakingly cared for it over the years, building each cabin and nearly all of the furnishings by hand over the course of several decades. The cozy log lodge or "The Post" is situated right on the inlet. With fireplace, hand-crafted log furniture, a gift and snack shop, the lodge fronts the firepit and looks out on the docks, boat launch and the waterfront veranda. Guests and locals often gather for coffee in the mornings or popcorn and visiting in the evening.
​
Lake of the Woods has over a million acres of inviting water studded with more than 14,000 islands. Filled with a fisherman’s bounty of walleye, muskie, lake trout, sturgeon, sauger, bass, crappie, perch and Northern Pike, it offers world class fishing at your fingertips. The area is home to plentiful wildlife as well. Fishing, bird watching, chasing the Northern Lights, or simply enjoying the quiet are great reasons to journey to the Northwest Angle.
