ps- Do you remember the log cabins down the hill below the lodge? My dad helped Ernie build them before I was born. Did you remember Jake? He always stayed much of the summer in the first cabin on the left after you went down the hill.
Hi Charles,
I finally found a mention of Ernie Bittner’s Lodge. I vaguely remember Ernie, but it was Mark Berg who was running it when our family went there in the early 60’s. Mark was my father’s chef at St. Cloud College then. He and his wife had 2-3 sons, one named Jack? My late father Ray and late brother Neil Herringshaw loved fishing there.
Do you have any info about the Berg family? One of the son’s girlfriend was working with wolves. Who owns the lodge now?
I sent the same reply to Jim Staley.

Hello. I went to Bitner’s resort in the 50″s. Ernie took us fishing & Mildred cooked our fish. I will look for pictures.
Do you have anymore pics of Bittner’s Resort on Big Balsam Lake. I’ve been going there since 1951. Now I have a cabin on the old resort.
