Food Scene:

Cozy Cove Resort
- Cozy Cove Resort is the only store/restaurant/bar on the lake. It is a family favorite, and the owner is a close personal friend. We definitely recommend stopping by on the boat for a drink, a bite, and to meet other folks on the lake. We especially love to stop in during full-lake sunset cruises. Cozy has docks available to use. There are about a dozen, please use the ones on the right side when facing in from the lake, the left side is reserved for those staying at Cozy Cove. To use the docks, you will need your own rope (rope provided on our rental boats). Tires are on the dock and can be used as bumpers.

Zorbaz on Little Pine Lake

Brew Ale & Eats
- Great sports bar with good food, located right in downtown Perham.
Spanky's Stone Hearth
- Our favorite restaurant in town for special occasions. If you go, and you're feeling adventurous, we suggest ordering the "trust me". It's a chef special that rotates daily, and you won't know what you're getting until each course arrives!
Blackboard
