QUICK, CALL THE TRAVEL AGENT—WE’VE GOT CABIN FEVER FOR NORTHERN MINNESOTA’S LUDLOW’S ISLAND RESORT
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about Minnesota. As a former resident of this jewel of a state, I have to say Minnesota summer is a little slice of heaven. Wait…Hawaii is a little slice of heaven…Minnesota is a little puff of honeyed sweetness. And Ludlow’s Island Resort is here to prove it. At least from June-September.
As a family-run resort that’s been operating for the last 60+ years, Ludlow’s had a lot of time to get things right—and it shows. Not only is it a great ‘get-away-from-it-all’ escape, the island is open only to visitors, which means parents can turn down the child vigilance level from ‘high’ to just ‘elevated’.
