Lately, we've been delighted to welcome guests booking vacations at White Eagle, eager to give their children the same cherished summer experiences they once enjoyed as kids. Many of these guests have fond memories of staying with us in the past that have inspired them to start coming again with their kids.

One guest recently called, and chatted with Tom about their shared childhood adventures—those late- night bike rides around the resort, where unexpected encounters with bears added an extra thrill. Another guest simply wanted her children to experience the joy of fishing off the gas dock, just as she did when she was their age, reeling in perch after perch.

Witnessing parents create these core memories with their children, reliving the same activities that once filled their own childhoods, is truly an honor for us. We take pride in being a place where families return year after year, weaving together traditions that span decades. Some families have been coming for over 70 years, now spanning four generations!

Like you, our guests, we love tradition and raising our daughters here at the resort has been a beautiful echo of Tom’s childhood. This past week I (Steph) took a deep dive into the Lantry family archives and found some true gems that helped me to visualize what childhood in the early to mid 90’s at White Eagle Resort was like.

We'd love to hear from you! If you have any childhood memories of Lake Vermilion or White Eagle Resort, please share them with us. Your stories are what make this place truly special.

Did you know?

Neither Tom or I have any formal education or degree in resort management, property maintenance, marketing or really anything that has to do with the travel industry; yet we operate this beautiful historic resort on lake vermilion.

I have a doctorate degree in something that has nothing to do with tourism, healthcare. Tom was a commercial airline pilot for seven years… Combined we have thousands of hours in high pressure situations and have honed the skills necessary to operate, learn new skills and are not afraid to continue to evolve.

The funny thing is, experience is everything. Tom moved to the resort when he was six years old, he was homeschooled and he and his dad would work on projects around the resort every day. He quickly learned resort ownership from his dad’s perspective and acquired many useful skills like boat maintenance, cabin construction, fish cleaning, employee management and other useful skills you just pick up on when you grow up in the family business.

When we moved to the resort over a decade ago, I had to sink or swim and picked up on the skills necessary to help operate the family business. Many things I learned in healthcare transferred to resort ownership such as time management, working with people and of course keeping things clean.

There was a season when I thought our careers before resort ownership were all for nothing. We felt like we had wasted years of our lives attaining degrees that we weren’t using to their fullest potential. Buut, life has a funny way of putting us in places where we need to be. Looking back on it all now, we can connect the dots to see how they got us to where we are today.

Thank you for being on this journey with us!

✨ It's all about this view right here!

For over a century, guests have been mesmerized by this vantage point overlooking Lake Vermilion, perched atop a stunning rocky ledge adorned with majestic red and white pine trees.

This spot is special to us because it holds countless Lantry family memories, from our wedding (Tom + Steph), to the recent celebration of life for Bonnie Lantry (Tom’s mom).

This very spot was also once home to the iconic Vos Resort Lodge, where laughter echoed, games were played, and memories were made. Sadly, a fire in 1989 changed the landscape, but from the ashes rose a new beginning – Eagle's Nest. This hand-hewn log cabin offers panoramic views of Lake Vermilion and embodies the timeless charm of a classic log home.

Eagles nest has all the feels of the early days along with the comforts of home like air conditioning, wifi and a full kitchen. It also has a charming lakeside deck, fire pit, wood burning stove, and private dock. It is a family favorite!

We invite you to venture north and immerse yourself in the timeless allure of this place to discover what has enchanted not only our family, but generations of visitors for over a century.

We only have one prime Summer week left in this cozy cabin, August 3-10th

We just got the best snail mail and the sender was generous enough to let me share his story:

Greeting,

In 1947, my parents honeymooned at your resort on Lake Vermilion. They stayed for a month! They drove up from Chicago, IL. I am going through boxes of family letters + photos & found these two postcards. I think they stayed in the cabin on the postcard. My mom said the ice box was a true ice box meaning a chunk of ice kept the food cold. She also said it had an outhouse which was different from what a city girl normally used… They always talked fondly of the resort…

Cordially,
M. G.

These are the two postcards he sent. The cabin post card is of "comfort" (aka Mallard) and the other appears to be a vantage point of the lake from our cabin Raven.

If you have any old post cards or stories please DM me! I would love to hear them!

Booking a vacation? Oh, you've stumbled upon one of my least favorite tasks. As a card-carrying member of the Type A club, coupled with the occasional bout of analysis paralysis, I find myself knee-deep in details and activities, desperately wanting everyone to have a blast. Because, let's face it, I'm the one getting credit (or blame) for the outcome, good or bad.

But fear not, brave traveler, for today is your lucky day! Consider us your fairy godmother, swooping in to magically and effortlessly plan the ultimate multigenerational family escapade to Minnesota's enchanting Northwoods.

Now, what makes us as rare as a unicorn in a forest? Brace yourself for our amenities galore! Picture this: a private sand beach that's practically a slice of paradise, plus bonus offerings like beach yoga, volleyball showdowns, a game room, a sauna for those post-adventure chills, and even massages to knead away any lingering stress. But wait, there's more – hiking trails, boat rentals, jet ski thrills, dockside service, fishing guides for the aspiring anglers, water tubes for some wet and wild fun, gas, bait to lure in the big catches, and a park. Phew! Take a breath; we've got it all.

At White Eagle, we've been around the block, hosting thousands of families just like yours over several decades. We've learned the ropes – what works like a charm, what should be left in the past, and what families crave for the ultimate vacation.

And here's the kicker – we're not just here to host; we're here to make your vacation the absolute best experience for you and your family.

So, no more agonizing over your Summer trip. Let's make it happen! Get in touch with us, and let the planning magic begin. Your stress-free getaway awaits! ✨🌲
