Explore 200 beautiful acres, a tiny lake, & forest trails.
Gather loved ones or go solo to our resort garden, 2 separate outdoor venues, watch starry skies, enjoy wildlife & fun on-site activities, come experience the forest and quality time to disconnect from your everyday life and connect with your loved ones. We'd love to have you!
A little old fashioned. . . By design.
Allow space to carve out wholesome, connected time with your loved ones. There is no WIFI, spotty reception & no cable TV. Pass the time with board games, old DVD movies, yard games, walks, scavenger hunts, spotting wildlife, foraging, barbecuing, napping, reading, writing, photography and unplugging. A little playground, old-school 4 square with a basketball hoop, or toss horseshoes to pass the time. We'd love to have you!

Itasca State Park
Hike many trails, climb a firetower, walk across the crystal clear beginning of the Mississippi, eat at the fantastic Douglas Lodge, swim at the Itasca sandy beach and hit the playground area for a picnic. There are bike and boat rentals, paved trails galore, and more!
