Last Minute Stays? Yes! They are ok!

Sometimes life just gets too busy. We find that planning ahead for a get-away just sometimes cannot be done in advance. We understand. It is much better to try to do it last minute then not at all! To answer the question if last minute stays are ok? The answer is a definite YES!!!

The trend used to be that people made their family vacation plans in December and January and the kids’ plans were made around the family vacation. Times have changed. Now, there are more opportunities for kids and the family vacation is planned around all the kids’ camps, practices, and activities. All of this can be worked around. It just makes the vacation planning a little later and sometimes very last minute. As long as the vacation is planned and taken, all is good.

Now that you have decided to take a resort vacation, you need to see what is available. For your convenience, Riverside Resort has our cabin availability on-line. You can easily see what works for you and your family.

You may be asking yourself, "When is the easiest time of year to book a last minute northern Minnesota vacation?"
Of course the answer is “It’s always a good time to spend time at a Minnesota Family Resort.” But, there are times of the year that it may be easier to find a resort with openings. Typically resorts are busiest from the 2nd week in June until the 3rd week in August. Why? Because kids in Minnesota aren’t in school. But, that doesn’t mean that you won’t find a resort with open cabins during that time of year. It just may be a little more of a challenge, but definitely still try. Don't give up. Family vacations are definitely worth the effort.

You also may be asking yourself, "Don’t resorts usually have a minimum number of days they require?"
If you are looking in the main summer season, we do typically require a 5 night minimum, however it doesn't hurt to call and talk to us directly. Taking the risk of making a last minute stay, may just work in your favor. Don’t be afraid to ask us if we are willing to take a reservation that is less than what we usually take.

​THE MAIN IDEA IS THAT VACATIONS ARE WORTH THE EFFORT AND EXTRA WORK OF PLANNING. IF POSSIBLE, PLAN AHEAD. BUT IF THAT IS NOT YOUR REALITY, THEN PLAN A LAST MINUTE STAY...

​YES, THEY ARE OK!
