About Us
Welcome. We're so glad you found us.
​
Owner Kellie Knight grew up in Warroad and later on the West Coast, but she's been running her grandparent's well-worn trails, catching leeches and jumping off the docks at Prothero's since she was a child. Leaving the corporate world in 2011, she never looked back. Resort life is not a glamorous life, but its exactly where she wants to be and more than anything it's about telling a story. She remembers the wonder this place held for her growing up, and now, it's a dream come true to be watching her kiddos discover that same magic.
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.
