Winter Workcation - 5 Relaxing Minnesota Resort Retreats

While the new trend of remote staff and distance learning has created more than its share of challenges its also provided a new flexiblity for corporations and their families that wasn't even a possibility before ... to take a workation, where you are working remotely while doing recreational things after the work hours and on the weekend. Whether your company is planning a corporate retreat or conference or you are simply looking for some time away from the day-to-day remote office and distance learning, you and your guests will experience a dream-come-true retreat that quite likely ends with a tweet to your friends and family that you’re never leaving. At least, not for a while.

Go jump in the lake

Minnesota is most surely the land of luxurious lakeside resorts. Comfortable rooms, an indulgent spa, a championship golf course, indoor water park, riding stables, fully-equipped marina and more than 28,000 square feet of meeting space can be found on the gorgeous sprawling acres of Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center in Alexandria. Just two hours from the Twin Cities, and located near Carlos Creek Winery and the Legacy of the Lakes Museum, Arrowwood offers your guests outstanding accommodations, dining and activities year round.

Looking for sweet breezes, waves lapping on the shore and spectacular views? Check out Breezy Point Resort + Conference Center in Breezy Point. Then check in to enjoy this classic, four-season resort that offers spacious rooms, fabulous food from its five on-site restaurants, and a state of the art conference center for groups of up to 450. Here your corporate retreat can incorporate golf at one of three courses plus boating, beach time or even biking.

For a grand old time, nothing beats Grand View Lodge in Nisswa. With breathtaking surroundings and outstanding service, your corporate retreat will be a huge success. Especially when your attendees take in a round of golf at one of the resort’s three championship courses. Or relax and revive at the glacial waters spa. Or surrender to the temptations of steak, seafood or even burgers and fries from one the resort’s nine on-site restaurants.

For a really superior experience, why not book your retreat at Grand Superior Lodge in Two Harbors? With meeting space for up to 175, lakeside lodging, on-site restaurant and full-service catering, could it get any more grand? As a matter of fact, it could. With beautifully rustic accommodations, plus biking, skiing, dog sledding, guided fishing, golf, hiking, and pool, your guests will truly appreciate the massages available at the onsite spa.

Though it’s not technically on a lake, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake is still a premier place to jump right in and enjoy. Featuring 116,000 square feet of dedicated meeting space, top-of-the line technology options, first-class catering, ten bars and restaurants onsite with 30 flexible meeting rooms - and oh, yes … gambling too - you’ll find that business is a pleasure here.

The Minnesota corporate resort retreat has come a long way in the past twenty or thirty years. But fortunately, when planning your next one, you won’t have to go very far to find something extraordinary.
