Linden Suites
Stay in comfort, right across from Lake Bemidji and Diamond Point Park, and an easy walking distance from all Northwoods Writers Conference workshops and activities. Only $300/week per person.

Linden has two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites with private entrances adjoined by a shared bathroom. The suites are air-conditioned, and WiFi and high speed Internet are standard. Our 60+ participants will be on two or three floors. Each floor has a small kitchen area with a refrigerator. There are comfortable lounges for writing or gathering. Dedicated printers are available to all MNWC participants in Linden Hall. (Computers and printing will also be available at our headquarters in Hagg Sauer Hall) Participants may extend their stay in the residence halls a day before and/or after the conference dates for the same conference rate. We do this to accommodate flight arrival and departure schedules into and out of Bemidji. We do not offer daily rates, and we expect all participants to come for the full six days of the conference.

Smoking is not permitted in residence hall and campus buildings. Alcohol is not allowed. This includes all residence hall rooms and public areas.
