Two Worlds, One Family

08-25-2009

 

            Need an escape from the hustle and bustle?  Two very different adventures await—both with one very important thing in common.

            Pack your cowboy boots, hop on a flight to Tucson and check in at Tanque Verde Ranch.  One of the oldest dude ranch resorts in the country and nestled between the Rincon and Catalina Mountain ranges and Saguaro National Park, Tanque Verde Ranch provides visitors with a genuine western experience.  Saddle-up and ride the trails, learn about native flora and fauna, work with cattle, enjoy an outdoor barbeque in Cottonwood Grove or kick off your boots and sip a margarita at the Dog House Saloon.  In addition to traditional dude ranch activities, Tanque Verde also offers single-track mountain biking, swimming, hiking, tennis, spa, fishing and children’s programs.  To top it off, Tucson enjoys an average of 286 sunny days a year—making it the perfect getaway for those looking to escape the frigid winter weather!

            For those who prefer a Northwoods adventure, grab a fishing pole, bathing suit and golf clubs, and head to Grand View Lodge.  Built in 1919 as a place to stay for parents dropping their children off at summer camp, this historic resort has evolved into an upscale vacation destination.  Lodging choices include lakeside cabins, lodge rooms, golf course villas and houses big enough for a family reunion.  Once settled in, choose from a variety of activities including waterskiing, shuffleboard, tennis, biking, arts and crafts, cooking classes and more.  Most activities are included in the all-inclusive room rate; others are just a small fee.  In addition, Grand View Lodge also offers three championship golf courses, eight restaurant options, from the family-style Italian Gardens to fine dining at Historic Sherwood Forest, as well as Glacial Water Spa.

            Tanque Verde Ranch and Grand View Lodge, two completely different destinations with one thing in common—the spirit of family!

            Both properties owned and operated by Cote Family Companies, a family business, pride themselves on bringing families together.  The connection is clear when you look back to the beginning.  Cote Family Companies didn’t start with two vastly different resorts; they began with summer camps (celebrating 100 years this year!).  With a focus on getting back to the basics, no cell phones or TVs, and an emphasis on the core values of tradition, character and excellence, Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert are the backbone of the Cote Family philosophy.  Still operating today, these camps have helped shape unique family adventures in Minnesota’s Northwoods as well as the Southwest Desert.    

            So choose your adventure, bring the family and create lifelong memories at these one-of-a kind destinations!
