2011 walleye opener

The opener for 2011 for walleye is fast approaching. If Blackduck lake is as hot as it was last year this is the lake you want to be on. The walleye will be in the 18'' range by this time next year. You defiantly could go an catch your limit pretty much every night if you wanted to. Blackduck lake is always one of the northern part of the states top opener lakes. The rates we charge for a cabin during the walleye opener is very reasonable. Visit www.whitebirchresort.net for all the details

Minnesota Family Vacations

The family vacations every year seem to get shorter and shorter. I know i have not taken a week off in along time. The main reason most people try and shorten their vacation is the money. At white Birch Resort when you rent the cabin for 5 days you get actually the next 2 days free. So a weeks long vacation is very affordable here since you do not have to worry about eating out because all our cabins have full kitchens. Then for family fun the resort has all the activities from kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and swimming pool which are free. This is just a small list of what we offer on our resort for the family to experience. Take some time and explore our web site and see if there is something that really will make your  vacation something you will remember for a quite awhile.  http://www.whitebirchresort.net/

Bemidji resort Adds Private Hot Tub Rental

We have plans to build a commercial hot tub in this next luxury home. I do not know of any other resort that offers private commercial hot tub to only the guests staying in this cabin. The idea of having a hot tub is not a new idea we came up with. A lot of states allow commercial lodging to have above ground or portable tubs but Minnesota banned them in 2004. So we have taken the jump to try an get people who want to enjoy the out door hot tub to reserve in the cabin that has this.

The truth about vacations in MN during the winter

The winter is a great time to take the family on a getaway to Minnesota. Here on the resort we offer ice houses free with each cabin rental. There is also a sledding hill on the resort for your kids to enjoy. The idea of sitting around a nice fire enjoying the stories of along ago. The ice fishing is always great for someone who has never been fishing before since you can sit and watch the fish thru the hole in the ice. Everybody seems to enjoy this at least for a while. We are close to Buena Vista ski area as well if you want to try some down hill skiing or tubing, which is a blast with the whole family. visit www.whitebirchresort.net for more information

Winter Activites

The activities in the winter do change quite a bit in the winter. You do have to like the outdoors more in the winter and be capable of standing the cold elements. The biggest thing we do in the winter is ice fish here on Blackduck lake which is the 2nd busiest lake in the winter in Beltrami county. We have solid wood ice houses so we do get spoiled when it comes to staying warm, since they do keep you warmer then portables. We do a lot of sledding on our resort hill as well. The hill we have is not really big, but it does just fine for someone like me who likes going down but not walking back up. There is a tubing and ski area close to our resort and we usually go there a few times a year which is fun.

The ice skating here is a fun activity as well but i do not do this, this is for the younger kids since the ice really hurts when you fall. I do like to go on hikes in the snow since the snow really makes the woods so quite. Sometimes you do need snowshoes but usually i will go on a trail that is traveled somewhat so it is easier.
