Madden's on Gull Lake and Quarterdeck are two of the most popular resorts in Minnesota for a relaxing getaway. Quarterdeck, located two hours from the Twin Cities, offers a true taste of Minnesota lake life. You can explore Gull Lake with a cabin retreat, a romantic stay in a suite, or a family vacation in one of their cabins. When you ask for a recommendation for a resort in Minnesota, the locals will most likely point you to the popular Grand View Lodge.
Grand View Lodge is located in Nisswa and has so much to offer that you'll need at least a week to pack it all up. You can take a pontoon ride, play a round of golf at one of its two professional golf courses, go fishing or spend an afternoon boating and tubing on the lake with the family. Alternatively, spend a day at the Glacial Waters Spa to pamper yourself or explore the culinary side of the resort at one of its six restaurants and bars. Grand View Lodge has the perfect accommodation for your style, whether you want to rent a cabin to relax after a day on the lake or if you prefer to rest in a single-family home after playing golf.
The resort also offers fishing guides and any water sports services that you or the children may need to enjoy the lake and its private beach.
