Historic Brainerd lodge offers the perfect holiday getaway for those looking to experience a true Minnesota winter adventure; wine and spa included.
NISSWA, Minn. (December 13, 2010) – It’s the most wonderful time of the year. While most will be caught up with hosting parties, others who would rather skip straight to the marshmallow toasting and caroling out in the snow will have the opportunity to do so with the introduction of Grand View Lodge’s new holiday package. Offering a weekend of true Midwestern activities from December 23 to January 2, Grand View Lodge promises an escape to the “real” Minnesota, interrupted by a touch of luxury, pampering and style.
“Grand View Lodge offers the perfect taste of Minnesota winter for those that want the adventure accompanied by a restful massage, glass of wine and warm bed upon their return,” said Mark Ronnei, general manager at Grand View Lodge. “The holiday package is the perfect marriage between family fun and adult relaxation. From cross-country skiing to spa retreats, Grand View Lodge can accommodate a wide range of holiday travelers.”
During this holiday weekend special, guests are invited to take a dog sled ride along Minnesota’s wintry landscape; grab an old fashioned sleigh ride taking them over the meadow and through the woods to one of Northern Minnesota’s most spectacular views, or, for the daring, bundle up for ice fishing, snowmobiling or a snowshoe adventure. The homebodies have their options as well. Baking, crafts and nightly bonfires with s’mores will be provided to help celebrate the holiday cheer.
In addition to offering a guide to all things Minnesota, Grand View Lodge allows guests the opportunity to unwind from a day of Midwest activity at the Glacial Waters Spa, wrapping up their evening with a wine tasting seminar amongst the intimate setting and distinguished décor of the venue’s new wine cellar.
Furthermore, as part of the holiday weekend events, Grand View Lodge will offer traditional holiday experiences during Christmas and a grand four-course New Year’s Eve meal within the intimate wine cellar. Guests will enjoy an array of fare accompanied by the largest wine selection north of the Twin Cities. With the luxury of your end destination just a few short steps away, guests can safely ring in the New Year with no limitations.
Grand View Lodge is home to a collection of distinctive dining venues and inviting accommodations set amidst hundreds of acres of scenic forest. For more information on the holiday weekend package please visit the Grand View Lodge blog or website at www.grandviewlodge.com.
