Some places become traditions.
For generations, families have returned to Appeldoorn’s Resort on Mille Lacs Lake to fish, relax, reconnect, and create memories that last a lifetime. It’s a place where lake days feel endless, sunsets become part of the routine, and guests return year after year because it simply feels like home.
We’re excited to welcome Appeldoorn’s Resort to the Leisure Hotels & Resorts family.
At Leisure, we’re passionate about preserving the character of independent destination properties while helping them thrive for years to come. Appeldoorn’s Resort embodies everything we value—authentic hospitality, a strong connection to its community, and a legacy built on creating meaningful guest experiences.
As we begin this new chapter together, our commitment is simple: honor what guests have always loved while thoughtfully investing in the resort’s future. That means maintaining the welcoming atmosphere, supporting the dedicated team, and enhancing the experience in ways that respect the property’s history and traditions.
Mille Lacs Lake has long been one of Minnesota’s most beloved destinations for fishing, boating, and family vacations. Appeldoorn’s has earned its place as a favorite gathering spot, offering comfortable accommodations, access to year-round recreation, and the kind of personal hospitality that keeps guests coming back season after season.
We’re honored to carry that legacy forward.
To our returning guests, we can’t wait to welcome you back. And to those discovering Appeldoorn’s Resort for the first time, we invite you to experience everything that has made this special place a Minnesota tradition.
Welcome to the next chapter of Appeldoorn’s Resort. We’re grateful to be part of its story and excited for all that’s ahead.
