Sip A Hot Drink In A Life-Sized Snow Globe At This Minnesota Resort This Winter

In Minnesota, igloo dining is an increasingly-popular antidote to winter. No matter what the weather, you can sit outside and drink and dine in your own little bubble - or snow globe, as the case may be.

Grand View Lodge, a classic Minnesota lake resort, is a beloved year-round getaway in the North Star State.

The resort boasts an ideal Brainerd Lakes location, putting it within easy reach of all the outdoor activities the area has to offer.

Grand Views's sprawling Gull Lake frontage helps to make the resort a perfect basecamp for all your winter adventures - whatever they may be.

When you're back at the resort, though, you can relax and continue enjoying the area's natural beauty in one of Grand View's igloos.

The resort rents the igloos in two hour time slots, and reservations can be made in advance.

The igloos come with heaters and blankets, but you should dress for the weather, as they are not insulated.

Drinks and food from the Northwoods Pub menu are available in the igloos.

Grand View also offers a platter menu and bottle service for larger parties.

Although you may be tempted to just stay in your igloo, don't forget to take advantage of all the regular activities that Grand View has to offer.

Or just pamper yourself with a day at the resort's Glacial Waters Spa.

Gull Lake, just steps from the resort, is a world-class destination for ice fishing.

Every winter, the Brainerd Jaycees host the world's largest charitable ice fishing tournament on Gull Lake. Thousands of anglers flock to the area to compete.

Nearby Breezy Point Resort is also a great place to find winter activities when you're in the Brainerd Lakes area.

Have you had a drink or a snack in one of Grand View's igloos, or have you tried igloo dining somewhere else in Minnesota?
