We stopped in for pizza and beers and to watch the nfl game. It's a quaint little bar run by the nicest people.

We were in town visiting relatives and we needed propane for the grill. We were heading into town to fill the tank as we noticed a sign for propane at Ray & Marges. We decided to stop to check it out and ended up getting it filled. The price was comparable and was only a couple miles frome where we were visiting. Also like the adult daycare signs!

One of the best local establishment but if you want hard liquor bring your own setups are sold. Have strong beer now and wine for sale. On the lake. Snowmobiles are welcome. Enjoy. Phill

Ray & Marge’s was great! Tonight my fella taught me how to play cribbage. The beers were reasonable and the barkeep was friendly!

My husband and I used the resort access and plowed roads/lots with our ice house for the weekend. When we arrived my husband was personally shown the best route and space to use which is why we caught so many fish! Lots of northern! So much fun! Very kind and knowledgeable, highly recommended! 100% will return :)
