Chase on the Lake Resort & Spa

What Chase on the Lake Resort & Spa does

Chase on the Lake Resort & Spa is an independent, full-service historic lakeside resort located at 502 Cleveland Blvd in Walker, Minnesota, on the shores of Leech Lake. The property has operated continuously since 1901 and came under new private ownership in June 2023. Its core offering is 107 accommodation units comprising 69 hotel rooms (King, Two Queen, Lakeview, and Balcony configurations, $129–$349/night) and 38 condos/studio units/lakeside villas ($229–$354/night), plus an off-site Bluewater Beach House (10 guests, weekly rental). On-site amenities include The 502 Restaurant & Bar (American cuisine, lakeside patio, live music), the Copper Door Spa (Aveda-affiliated massage, skin, body, salon, and nail services), an indoor pool with hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge, a 24/7 fitness center, Chaser's Arcade, and complimentary grab-and-go breakfast. Group and event infrastructure centers on the Walker Bay Ballroom (up to 210 guests), the Executive Boardroom (12-person), and the Waters Edge room (40-person).

The resort serves four primary customer segments: individual leisure travelers and families, corporate meeting/retreat groups, wedding and social event parties, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts (fishing, snowmobiling, trail activities). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the property website (integrated with TravelClick for online booking), dedicated phone lines, and a direct group sales contact for weddings and corporate bookings, supplemented by organic search through local tourism listings and a partnership ecosystem of local operators including Your Boat Club, fishing guides, sailing charters (Sailing Daze), and bike rentals (Walker Rental). Revenue is generated across five streams: lodging (rooms, condos, villas, beach house), spa services, F&B, meetings/weddings/events, and boat/dock rentals. Pricing uses pay-as-you-go nightly unit pricing with seasonal variation, extended-stay discounts (10% off 4+ nights, 15% off 5+ nights via promo codes STAY4/STAY5), and a $89 Stay & Dine for Two dining package. A condo ownership and leasing program creates a secondary real-estate revenue channel.
