All in the Family

Head out from the Twin Cites on 94 and you’ll  find yourself in the Central Lakes area of the state, and there’s some great lakes and resorts. Theses lakes are part of Stearns County and there’s some great family resorts, with places for you to make your own family memories.

Take two family resorts, Bug-Bee Hive and Riverside Resort. These resorts are not only on beautiful lakes, but each resort has been family owned for 3 generations.

Although very different, each of these resorts has a common theme of whole family dedication to not only continuing their family legacy of excellence in running these resorts, they also have a passion for providing the chance for other families to create lifelong memories and traditions. Whether you are fishing, skiing, or hanging out at your cabin at Riverside resort; or perhaps, pontooning, or even planning a beach side wedding at Bug-Bee Hive, these resorts would love to become part of your family’s memories and traditions.

Each of these resorts has a fun, and memorable mascot. At Bug-Bees, its the bees, and the whimsical theme is found through the resort from charming decor to cabin names, and even “bee-utiful” lake Koronis. They want you to join their wonderful hive. They also have some openings left this summer, so check out their listing here.

As for Riverside resort they have the Riverside Rabbit a cute and lovable mascot, that can be found on one of the charming signs around the grounds and truly shows the family friendliness that this resort is so well-loved for. Come for wonderful cabins, a lovely beach front, and a wonderful family that hosts interdenominational church services every Sunday of the summer. Check out their availability here.

So whether you’d love to add to your summer a family vacation, a family reunion, or if you just want a great place to relax by the lake, stay where you know you’ll be well taken care of out in the Central Lakes area. Also note that there are other great family resorts around our wonderful state ready to help you make other family memories. Happy Vacationing!
