The following is a quote taken from the official nomination: "Burntside Lodge is significant from two important vantage points: historically it is the earliest full-scale commercial resort operation in this part of the county...Burntside Lodge is also significant because it contains the largest collection of log resort buildings of high integrity in northern St. Louis County. Built of local materials by local craftsmen, these buildings are a remarkable architectural achievement in an outstanding state of preservation."
