Odyssey Resorts operates a collection of lodging properties in Minnesota, offering cabins, lodges, cottages, suites and resorts around Lake Superior. Its portfolio includes Caribou Highlands Lodge, Grand Superior Lodge, Larsmont Cottages, Breezy Point Cabins on Lake Superior, East Bay Suites, Beacon Pointe Resort, Lutsen Sea Villas, Mountain Inn, and Ruttger's Bay Lake Resort. Guests stay in a variety of accommodations—ranging from rustic cabins to lakeside lodges and suites—at different properties, providing access to local scenery and outdoor activities. The company differentiates itself by curating a group of distinctive, character-driven places rather than a single hotel experience, giving guests multiple unique settings under one umbrella. The goal is to offer high-quality lodging experiences in scenic Minnesota locations and to grow a portfolio of places that appeal to travelers seeking comfortable, locally flavored getaways.

What believers are saying

  • Trapper's Landing joined Odyssey in May 2026, becoming the 10th resort.
  • Odyssey's website was updated June 19, 2026, signaling active portfolio integration.
  • Anderson's 2024 CEO promotion shows leadership continuity after Schultz's retirement.

What critics are saying

  • All properties sit in Minnesota, exposing revenue to local demand shocks.
  • Trapper's Landing and similar contracts give owners leverage over renewal terms.
  • A failed management relationship with Blackburn-backed owners would shrink scale fast.

What makes Odyssey Resorts unique

  • Odyssey runs ten Minnesota resorts across Lake Superior and Brainerd Lakes.
  • Howard Anderson combines strategy, finance, and resort operations under one CEO.
  • Asset-light management contracts let Odyssey expand without buying every property.
