Spring Is Here!

It was wonderful welcoming in March like a lamb with temps in the upper 60's for days at a time. The bulbs are sprouting out of the ground, all the lakes are open 3 weeks early, the rhubarb is coming up so I can make one of our guest's favorite recipes, and we are hurrying to get the patio ready to welcome guests. But we're not putting away that snow shovel just yet for fear of jinxing it!

We are also getting the outside ready by putting out patio furniture, cleaning up the yard, and putting away winter items. I almost hate to put away that snow shovel though, as it just seems to be tempting the fates for another snow storm...

If you love biking, come on up and try the Mesabi Bike Trail, especially since May happens to be National Bike Month! As soon as the lakes warm up a little we will be starting the weekend Pokegama Lake tours with Captain Ron and our classic 1973 Glastron Runabout.

Take advantage of our Spring/Summer Gas Special and receive $10 off a one night reservation, $20 off a two night reservation, or 10% off three or more consecutive nights with the Multi-Night Special. We look forward to welcoming you to the comfort of the Morning Glory and the beauty of Northern Minnesota!

Fun Times in February

Ron and I just got back from a great relaxing week in Tucson, AZ, where we enjoyed a hot air balloon ride, hikes in the desert and a night sky visit to Mt. Kitt Observatory. Now I know how to use my binoculars to watch the many birds we have around here. All this time I have been adjusting them incorrectly and what I thought were pine siskins are actually goldfinches with their winter coats on!

What we don't have much of in Grand Rapids is deep snow for snowshoeing or cross country skiing, although Mt. Itasca has a couple of downhill runs and cross country trails that they make snow for and is only 5 minutes away from us.

What we DO have is enough snow for beautiful scenery hiking without the mud, lots of firewood for our living room fireplace, very comfortable 2-room suites to snuggle in with your sweetheart (3 have fireplaces), an extensive movie collection you are welcome to use, and last but certainly not least, great freshly ground morning coffee to go with the hearty, full breakfasts! 

Check out our ValentineRomance Package good for the entire month of February and plan a romantic getaway.

We hope to see you soon!
