The Grand Rapids area in the summer is absolutely gorgeous and there are so many activities available it will be hard to fit them in just 2 or 3 days, but we'd like to give you an example of what a 3 day, 2 night stay can look like!
Day 1: Take the day off. Enjoy a leisurely trip here and stop at those places you've always wanted to see, such as that cute antique store or ice cream parlor. Arrive at the Morning Glory anytime after 3:00pm, but hopefully before dark so you can relax and enjoy a meander through our gardens or a walk around the lake close by. Settle into your spacious 2 room suite - maybe take a short nap before heading out to one of many great local restaurants. If you are coming on a weekend, be sure to join us in the living room or on the patio for our wine & cheese social hour from 5:00-6:00pm. Grab a great movie from our extensive collection to enjoy in your suite and then enjoy a comfortable night's slumber.
Day 2: Good Morning! Come and help yourself to a freshly ground cup of coffee or steaming cup of tea. A hearty breakfast is served in the dining room at 9:00am (unless you need it earlier) where you can meet your fellow inngoers for lively conversation and great food. Because there are so many things you'll want to enjoy that day, you probably won't want to linger around too long after breakfast. Then, setup on your Grand Rapid's adventure!
Maybe visit the Forest History Center that is setup like a 1910 logging camp with period dress interpreters, draft horses with a fascinating history to be told. Or maybe you'll want to hire "Captain Ron" for a 1-2 hour tour of Lake Pokegama in our Classic 1973 Glastron runabout. Bring your swimming suit and ask him to drop anchor at Nesbitt Island for a short swim on a hot day. Maybe taking a leisurely stroll around downtown is more your style. Grand Rapids won't disappoint with the antique stores, unique shops and eating establishments.
Want to really enjoy the outdoors? Visit the various swimming beaches, or the more than 20 beautiful hiking trails. You're also more than welcome to bring your bike for a ride on the Mesabi Bike Trail that winds through forests, water-filled iron ore pits and prairies. It's a great place for bird watching and exercise!

Once you return to the Morning Glory after your fun-filled day, relax and enjoy the patio, living room, or the comfort of your own suite.
Day 3: Be sure you take this day off too because you won't want to rush back as you'll need to finish that "to do" list you started yesterday, but only after enjoying another delicious breakfast! Check out is at 11:00am but that still leaves plenty of time for a leisurely trip home; that is unless you've decided to stay longer - we'd love to have you!
Summer and fall are our busiest times, so if you are thinking of joining us in beautiful northern Minnesota, please make your reservation as soon as you can to get the suite you really want! And if you need help planning out your "to do" list, just ask me or Ron - we're here to help and to make your visit to Grand Rapids a most memorable one!
We hope to see you soon,
