We are located in the north /central part of Minnesota where the prairie meets the forest and the glaciers formed over 375 crystal clear lakes. It is the land that is said to have been visited by Vikings in 1362, more than 100 years before Columbus came to America and who left the famous runestone to prove it. The area is a perfect place to bring the family for a vacation.
