2015 Resort Year in Review | A Great Big Thanks!

by Meghan Klave Filed Under: resort life

While reviewing my photo files recently I realized there are so many that I haven’t shared – so a quick warning about this post – it’s very photo heavy! Our resort year in review will include some highlights that include some of you and a great big thanks for our fantastic first year!

Unfortunately there are some of you we weren’t able to capture but are not far from our thoughts. What you mean to us…as family, as friends, as guests, as the amazing people that make up Twin Cedars Resort, because without you, the continuation of this beautiful Up North getaway wouldn’t be possible.

So here’s to you! Our Resort Year in Review 2015

Twin Cedars Resort Bob and MattMatt with Bob, he’s been coming to the resort since he was a weee little one.

During the big hustle of painting projects it looked like we were arranging for a yard sale! Thanks to the customers that were here during this time…they just role with it.

Unfortunately this little robin thought one of the hanging baskets would make a good nest. That has got to be the most beautiful color in the world though.

Loons at the Twin Cedars ResortOur loons that come back every year. It seemed they had their baby a little late this year but all went well and we’ll keep a watch for their return.

Twin Cedars Resort chipmunkI kept wondering how the birdseed was disappearing so fast. Apparently we cater to these little stinkers too.

Bob with the ducks 2015If you’ve been coming to Twin Cedars for any length of time then you are pretty familiar with our ducks and most have been privileged to feed them right out of their hands.

A goal for the coming year is to get better at shooting photographs, but these are pretty good.
