THE NORTHWOODS EXPERIENCE

There is something about gathering together, away from the day to day routine, that renews and energizes us. The sound of the wind in the trees, the stillness of the water, the brightness of the stars in the night sky combined with the hospitality of our staff provide an experience that can’t be found anywhere else. From weddings to retreats, let us help you have a northwoods experience in beautiful northern Minnesota.
