Rheanna Haeg Testimonial 12/4/10




sent via email-



My first year up at Aspen Resort was in 2007. After driving on the tarroad for quite some time, we turned off onto the gravel road. Windingand riding down the long road and as we drove up the small first hill,we came upon wooden log cabins off to the right hand side with thewelcoming of the Aspen Resort sign. It was definitely just more thanpicture perfect, it was BEAUTIFUL!! After checking in, we got to ourcabin, unpacked and went adventuring!! Traveling with kids there wasdefinitely plenty of things for them to do as well as adults. Thepool, playground, badminton and volleyball, basketball, paddleboats,kayaks, THE LODGE!! The lodge was where the kids could go to playgames, read books, get a bite to eat (including the dessert cooler) ,have a cold beverage (both for kids and adults), buy merchandise andof course talk to staff. What made Aspen unique is the scheduledactivities that they hosted each day and the nightly campfires. Wetook advantage of this when we could if we weren't out fishing and wegot to know some of the other guests. The fishing was awesome and theboats were in great shape and the staff goes out the extra mile toinsure a memorable stay. This definitely has become our yearlyvacation spot that hopefully our children can pass down to theirfamily someday!

Fall In Minnesota

Hello All, The feeling of fall is in the air. Rainy and a high of 47 today. Calling for mild temps in the mid 60's for the weekend, I hope they are correct. The 2010 season is a good one at Aspen Resort. Thanks to all our new and repeat guests for making it that way. Over the last week or so we have been winterizing cabins, winterizing our rental boats and putting them in storage and enjoying the company of the end of season guests. We hope to see you all back again in 2011. Please visit our website, blog and facebook pages often. Our website will be updated with new photos and 2011 rates later this fall and we will keep posting on our blog throughout the fall and winter. If you have any great vacation photos that you took while staying at Aspen Resort feel free to post them on our facebook page. Look out for a upcoming email from us this winter asking you to submit your Aspen Resort vacation photos and captions on our facebook page for our winter photo contest for a chance to win "Aspen" cash for your 2011 stay. Well that's it for now, have a good weekend!
