This Little Known Resort In Minnesota Will Be Your New Favorite Summer Destination
If you’re looking for an epic resort in Minnesota, it’s time to try heading farther north than ever before. Skip the usuals, and head straight up to the border, where you can find one-of-a-kind lodging on the shores of Rainy Lake. The views are amazing in every season and the recreation opportunities are endless, making this area one of the most phenomenal places to visit.
Rainy Lake is so immense that you’ll always feel like you’re truly experiencing MN nature. You can explore numerous islands and miles of shoreline of the lake without ever seeing another boat.
