Best Resort
What's the best resort in Minnesota? What's the best resort in Park Rapids? I would imagine these questions gets asked a lot, or are used in a Google search when families are shopping for a family resort. To be honest, I'm not sure any resort in Minnesota or Park Rapids can be considered the "best", because all resorts are so different! ...

Minnesota Family Resort Ringing in 2018
Happy New Year from Two Inlets Resort! We hope this letter finds you well and full of excitement for 2018! We nestled into the new year with crazy cold temperatures, just like many of you did. Our morning routine includes sleeping in a bit, building a wood fire in the fireplace and brewing a pot of hot coffee for the two of us. We are empty nesters now, so our winter break is a bit quieter than we’re used to. You’ll notice that we’re “matchy matchy” in our buffalo plaid coats. We’re not exactly sure how that happened, but I suppose some things are just out of our control! ...
Minnesota Vacation for 55 and Over
If you're over the age of 55, I'd like to suggest that you take a Minnesota resort vacation during one of the last two weeks in August, and choose Two Inlets Resort as your destination. What makes these weeks different from the rest of the summer weeks? Here are some things to think about -- ...
Family Resort Vacations Are Underway
Family vacations to northern Minnesota have begun. We've already hosted couples, families and multigenerational reunions and it's not even the middle of June yet! ...
Getting Ready for Your Minnesota Vacation
When you get ready for your Minnesota resort vacation, you make a list and pack the car. When we get ready for your Minnesota resort vacation, we spend time getting our family resort cleaned up and ready to go. So I guess that's two different ways of getting ready! Earlier this week we concentrated on cutting down dead trees. It's all part of the spring clean up. ...
Winter Up North - Life at a Minnesota Resort
When our Minnesota resort is closed up for the winter, to some degree we sort of forget that we're living on one all year around. In the winter we only plow to the house, so to access the rest of the resort we have to walk through the snow. If there's never a need to walk around the resort, we just don't .... from about November to April. ...
New Drone View of Two Inlets Resort
When it comes to marketing our northern Minnesota resort, verbal description either on the phone or in an email can get very challenging. A few things that I personally think are so nice about our resort is how close the cabins are to the lake, how they are spaced for privacy, and how many pine a birch trees we have. It's pretty hard to paint the lovely visual picture that actually exists at Two Inlets Resort, and features of the property that I think are important to guests. ...
Minnesota Resort Gives New Year Wishes
Greetings! We hope this letter finds you well and looking forward to the upcoming new year. 2016 was our 20th summer at the resort. Wait! Did I just say that? We arrived in 1997 pretty green behind the ears, but energized for our new adventure. Our kids were just 2 1/2 years and 10 months old the day we moved in to this beautiful place. Grace is now a college graduate, Calvin is in the middle of his college years, and Jack will graduate from high school this spring. It is hard to believe that much time has passed already. ...
Fall Color Report - Itasca State Park
Today is September 25th and the leaves are beginning to change around the lake. We're seeing mostly light greens and yellows, with the underbrush (specifically the sumac) showing off bright oranges and reds. On the Minnesota DNR Fall Color map it indicates that Itasca State Park fall colors are at about 25-50% right now. That means the weekends of October 1st and 8th should be at nearly peak or peak. ...
