Family Vacations Honeymoon Packages
Gunflint Trail Minnesota vacation resort- cross country skiing, dog sledding, family, fishing & honeymoon's at Gunflint Lodge Gunflint Lodge A premier wilderness vacation resort in Northeastern Minnesota, on the Gunflint Trail just north of Grand Marais ( location map ) for cross country (nordic) skiing , dog sledding , snowshoing , families , fishing , honeymoons , and horseback riding 1-800-328-3325 Welcome to Gunflint Lodge . Our Minnesota wilderness setting fills your vacation with as much adventure or relaxation as you wish. Our northwoods pine and aspen forest, with deep clear water lakes and lots of wildlife, remains much the same as found by the voyageurs over a century ago. The atmosphere at Gunflint is wilderness elegance and home-away-from-home comfort. We invite you to make Gunflint your place in the northwoods -- a place where you'll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. You won't merely feel like you belong -- you will know this is your home up north. Winter at Gunflint-main lodge WINTER Cabin rates Wild Winter Package Nordic Ski (Cross Country) Package New Year's Resolution Week Dog Lover's Weekends "Full Moon" Lover's Pkg Women's Weekend Retreats Snowshoe Making Stress Buster Weekend Winter Tracks Festival Massage Weekend "Books in the Woods" Retreat The winter season The snow is getting deeper and deeper The snows keep coming and everything is white and beautiful. The lake has frozen over and the timber wolves are starting to roam about on the ice. Firewood is stacked by each cabin for a warm toasty evening while you are curled up with a favorite book. The deer have started to come in for their winter handouts and we have about a ton of corn stored, as we plan ahead. The crosscountry ski trails are all open and groomed. The trail groomer is out nearly every day setting tracks and keeping everything perfect for excellent skiing. The sled dogs have arrived for the winter and the mushers have them out on the trails every day getting them in shape for trail rides. Guests that came up on our decorating weekends did a bang up job on the lodge and grounds-- the Christmas trees are up and decorated, garlands hang everywhere around the lodge and on the outside light poles, and strings of white lights illuminate the outside of the lodge come evening. Our chef has an all new winter menu that has some very tasty selections. He is featuring more entrees of the country. Among his new choices are an Elk steak, a big double bone pork chop, new walleye recipes, new pasta selections, new salads, and new breads and desserts.

We took cabin 16 (2 bedroom classic cabin) and are just finishing up a major facelift. The cabin has all new panelling (including the ceiling), a huge new rock fireplace, ceramic floors in the kitchen and bathrooms, a washer and dryer, new carpeting and new furniture. The picture on the left was before remodelling, showing the original fireplace and the white ceiling. The picture on the right shows the new rock fireplace being finished and the new panelling. GENERAL INFO Cabin Descriptions Pet Policy Reservation Information Driving Directions Write ups and articles about Gunflint Lodge Employment Lodge History Links A recent guest testimonial: "Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so memorable, something we will be able to tell our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren about. You have a wonderful staff that really care about the customers. We know that there are many vacations spots, but when we found Gunflint we knew that this was the only spot for us!!!!" Matt & Mary Paquette Concord, New Hampshire What's New this Winter at Gunflint Adventure Services There's so much to do here at Gunflint sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. So we opened an Adventure Concierge office to help you plan your activities during your stay. This person will be available to make recommendations on which ski trails to go on depending on your skill level, which days might be better for snowshoeing, or even booking any popular activities for you before you arrive. Winter Specials Everyone loves a deal so here is our best winter offer. If you're the kind of person who always wants a vacation to last just one more day, we can relate! If you arrive on a Sunday or Monday and spend 3 nights with us, the fourth night is on the house. Dog Sledding For guests staying over Monday throughout the winter we are treating you to a taste of dog sledding by offering you complimentary dog sled rides. Bundle up and hop in the sled, and let our musher and team of eager sled dogs introduce you to an exciting way to traverse the snow-covered trails that wind through the woods. This is always popular so reservations are a must! The complimentary dog sled rides are for guests spending Sunday and Monday nights at Gunflint. While we do reserve the whole day for rides, there is limited capacity. Sleigh Rides For guests staying over Tuesday we will be offering complimentary sleigh rides every Tuesday evening. Big Belgian horses pull the sleigh through the woods and alongside a frozen lake on lit trails beneath a star-filled sky. Homemade hot cocoa awaits you upon your return from this classic north woods experience. Just to be clear, the complimentary sleigh rides are for guests spending Monday and Tuesday nights at Gunflint. This activity is particularly limited in capacity due to size of the sleighs and can only hold 12 people. So it is open to the first 12 people who sign up. If you are interested in reserving a sleigh ride for a different night of the week, call us and we can arrange it for you. As your hosts, we know that your personal time is very valuable to each of you so we continue to refine the details and activities that you will experience. Every detail, from extra towels for the hot tubs, to your fireplace preset with kindling and wood upon arrival, is taken care of. A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with wildlife and panoramic beauty. The countless stars and colorful northern lights will amaze you and your family throughout the winter nights. We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home. It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.

But did you know that St. Nick is buried in the coast town of Bari after sailors stole his body from Myra, Turkey? Gadling has the goods. Attitudes toward wine are different in Italy than in the US. Imagine the outcry in the US if the government financed a wine bar, just like the Italian region of Lazio did recently. Check out Gridskipper's Your Government Wine Bar . Friday December 23, 2005 | permalink Relive Casanova's Venice--or not Perhaps it was the movie Casanova ,but the old libertine's lusty ways seem to be undergoing a sort ofRenaissance. As you know, the legendary lover's heritage includes theoft publicized use of the early condom, which for Casanova consisted ofa reusable sheep-gut sheath tied on with a pink ribbon and rinsed, whenrequired, in the Grand Canal. Now, according to Venice Word ,"fourteen million tourists a year can now leave with a new"serenissimo" gadget that appears destined to be a hit: the Casanovacondom packed in a single-unit package with the image of GiacomoCasanova." You probably won't need to stand in line at Venice pharmacies toprocure a Casanova special, they'll be available in 2006 attobacconists and newspaper kiosks, the same place you get your bustickets, usually. And hold on you your...hats, "Beginning in January, the Casanova will also be sold in a seven-condom package shaped like a... gondola."

As a result, the city of Turin is frantically spiffing up for an influx of visitors on February 10. Turin's central piazza , the Piazza Castello , will become the stage for the awards ceremonies, integrating the Olympic outcome with Italy's famous piazza culture. Turin is a beautiful city with a great cafe culture, excellent museums, Baroque palaces, and arcaded promenades. It also has some of the best food in Italy. It's often overlooked by tourists but well worth a spot on a travel itinerary. Take a look at our Profile of Turin Travel Essentials . Sunday December 04, 2005 | permalink Florence Hotel Recommendation I've just returned from Florence where I stayed in a very nice and comfortable 4-star hotel for just a little more than I paid last November for a cramped and smoky 2-star with a terrible bathroom! The Hotel Adler Cavalieri is conveniently located, has a helpful English-speaking staff, and is very quiet. Both the common rooms and bedrooms are attractive and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again! The hotel also gave us a great restaurant recommendation where we enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing dinner. The Club Culinario Toscano da Osvaldo , although centrally located, is a little difficult to find but well worth the search. This was definitely one of the best meals I've had in Florence!
