Greetings
and thank you for visiting our web site.
We are Jon & Nancy Van Nurden, owners of
Big Timber Resort.
We
have owned & operated Big Timber since 1984, making 2009 our 25th
year!
Over
the years here at Big Timber, we have met many interesting people &
have
shared fun times & wonderful memories with many of them.
Many people refer to Big Timber as their home
away from home, a special place in the sun.
Big
Timber is a wonderful place to get away to relax, to reflect, & to forget
everyday problems.
Here you can get back in
touch with yourself, your family, & your friends while experiencing
nature
at its best. Big
Timber is a place to play and relax amidst the beauty & solitude
of Minnesota's great North Woods.
A
place where good times & good memories are made, a place to come back to
again & again.

Big
Timber is small & not fancy,
& unlike larger resorts, you won’t be packed in a
bunch of cabins.
We
don’t have a campground, or an old swimming pool packed with kids.
What we do have are 7 very nice, clean, comfortable vacation cabins set in a park-like
setting.
We have excellent fishing, lovely well-kept grounds,
& a wonderful sandy
beach.
Located where we
are on the lake, you can actually see beautiful evening sunsets
& hear nature
without the drone of generators & barking dogs.

Location on North
Star Lake is very important, & being centrally located on the main body
of North Star
Lake makes a quick, easy trip to any fishing spot, anywhere on the lake.
Should inclement
weather develop, getting back to Big Timber is quick & easy.
No need to
squeeze through a shallow channel getting back to a cabin
at the far end of
the lake. Points both north & south
of the resort protect our docks.
Big
Timber was well laid out when built.
Far enough from the highway to be without noise,
yet
near enough to the highway for the convenience of going to & from town
without traveling
long miles of dusty or muddy dirt roads.

wonderful
vacation memories.

This is a trip
that is worth your while, & if you come here just once,

delighted that you will spend many more vacations with us!
