Ray Ranta Stopped By

A past owner and operator who turned the resort into "Elbow Lake Lodge" stopped by today.

Ray came for a quick visit and we had a nice time visiting. A lot has changed at Elbow Lake since he owned it like remodeled cabins, lodge and a new office building. But some things are still the way the were decades ago. The lake is still quiet and clean. The beach is still as beautiful and the fresh air and forest are still unchanged.

Enjoying our last week of July.

Another full week at Elbow Lake Lodge. Guests are swimming, catching fish, and hanging out in the lodge.

There are a ton of kids here and they are all having a great time. Kids club has been full, bikes are all around and the water toys are getting wet. Kids love Elbow Lake Lodge because they have a great big resort to run around in and parents know they can be safe here.

I've seen a ton of games, finished puzzles, and cards being played all week.

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND AT THE LAKE!

Finally..it's here..summer!! We had a great weekend with so many families enjoying the beach...the water...the mini golf....everything!! We enjoyed pizza night tonight and lots of guests watched the Twins lose a tough one!!!

Lots of friends and families are here this week and we're looking forward to some great days ahead!! Give us a call and grab a spot for a family getaway!!!!

Fun on a rainy week

Here we are in mid-July and we have had a few cold and windy days. But we have all been enjoying hanging out inside the lodge. We watched the All-Star game, played cards, board games, enjoyed kids activities, and families had an opportunity to just spend good time together.

Take your kids out of school or sports special!

From time to time, we offer fun specials for our guests. At Elbow Lake Lodge, we believe in families, and we believe they should spend time together. As summers have gotten smaller and smaller from expanding school years and sports schedules, we have come up with some fun ways for families to take advantage of some of the last parts of summer.

Right now, and as long as it is posted on our website, you can take this opportunity for your family to take an end of summer vacation:

"From August 20 to September 4 you can save 25% on your reservation by showing us your childs school or sports schedule where you miss a practice, game, or day during your stay with us. Is one pracitice really worth $500 (average savings on one week)?"

4th of July, 2009!

The sun was shining. Everyone was having fun. The 4th of July kicked off our summer season.

We had a tug of war tournament, sand castle building contest, a mini-golf tournament, and a barbeque.

54 inch muskie in our freezer!

A guest caught a 54 inch Muskie the week before the 4th of July! Visiting a nearby lake, this guest brought back an absolutely huge fish and we stored it for him until he could find a taxidermist.

Fishing is very good on Elbow Lake. You can find a number of species and frequently find large fish. Our lake has very little pressure and great structure. If you want to change things up for a day, nearby lakes are easy to access.

Fishing guides are available, both on Elbow Lake and other nearby lakes. Please call us at 800-441-1620 to find out more.
