Your teenager knows everything, you know nothing and life is unfair. Your youngest is upset because after hours of grocery shopping, there’s no candy to show for it. And your spouse is stomping around in the garage muttering comparisons of the household to a zoo. Even the dog is whining about its empty bowl. You’ve seen these symptoms before; it’s cabin fever. The kind of cabin fever, that is, that requires a weekend (or a week) at a Northwoods resort relaxing, reconnecting and recovering. Fortunately, we have the cure with our Top 10 Minnesota Family Resorts. Pack up and caravan Up North for vacations filled with sun, sand – or snow – and lakes to return with a happy, healthy family.

Ten may not seem like a lot, but it’s all about perspective. Ten-minute meals may take three times as long without prior experience. Ten Peter Rabbits romping in your garden will result in zero lettuce. But we’re certain that a vacation on Ten Mile Lake at our No. 6 pick… Learn More
There will be parts of the family reunion that you could do without, for example, Uncle Bill’s special goulash recipe. Yet, despite any unappetizing aspects, one thing is certain – it’s time for your competitive streak to shine. Here to appease your annual Olympian spirit… Learn More
