Around the Resort

The high season is here and we have multiple projects going on to keep the buildings up to date. Log cabins #3 & #12 have recently been re-carpeted with some really nice soft new carpet. Perfect for laying by the fireplace on cool summer evening or cold fall-winter night! We know that everyone will be really disappointed that the pink carpet in Cabin 12 is gone, but it was time to say goodbye to it! Along with new carpet, the two bedroom apartment unit (5D) is also slated for a new kitchen in the future! Matt, Michael Jr. and Dmitry from Russia recently finished painting the east side of the Main Lodge building and it looks fantastic! It was much needed and we always aim to preserve the historic building for future generations to enjoy! Some of the other cabins will also be painted when time and resources allow. The next project is trail maintenance on the Pioneer Loop and Ridge Runs. The crew will be out mowing and clearing the different sections of the loop. The hiking and mountain biking conditions should be excellent again real soon! Check the trails page on the website for up-to-date trail conditions. The different summer activities have been attended very well so far this summer, with the All-American BBQ and Wildcats in the Woods campfire presentation leading the way! Check them out during your summer vacation here, or on the activities page where you can download the full weekly activities schedule. The two biggest weekends are approaching fast…The Dragon Boat Festival is this weekend July 25th-27th and has paddlers from all over competing on different teams racing in the Grand Marais Harbor. And the famous Fisherman’s Picnic Festival is the following weekend of July 31st-August 3rd. There are many different kinds of activities, events, games, music, dances, and vendors from all over the Midwest serving mouth-watering fare of all sorts! The Cascade Staff will surely be there enjoying all the festivities! See you there!
