INVITED FOR A CABIN STAY?

And you want to bring a small gift? Consider bringing some CD's or DVD's - of course, you need to check on what equipment is at the lakeplace. Or bring the ingredients to a favorite recipe AND the recipe on a card to leave behind. Or try to presonalize a gift, such as, a set of playing cards from alma maters of the host family.

 

products.jpg THAT SPECIAL TOUCH. Whether for your lakeplace or as a gift, here's a perfect and affordable idea. You can order a coaster, glassware, journals, or playing cards with the outline of your lake on it. Creek's Edge in Rock Creek, MN. (Tele: 320.629.3680) carries a line of these items in the store but also offers them by mail order. The store carries some of these items in the store with certain area lakes already etched onto them. If they don't have your lake yet, you can order it for an additional set-up fee.

BACK IN THE DAY

THE BUTLERS ARE GONE. Back in the day, families who were able to have a lakeplace on Rainy Lake in Minnestoa had butlers!
