Introducing The Red Door Resort’s Exciting New Amenities for 2025—Your Best Stay Yet!

They say that change is the only constant in life, and when it comes to 2025 at The Red Door Resort, a change is a-comin’ to make your fun family vacation more than amazing. We want it to be, as the kids say, epic! Winter hasn’t slowed anyone down on the north side of Lake Mille Lacs… It’s been a time of building, purchasing, installing, and then some. Ready for a rundown on everything new to anticipate when you visit our family-friendly fishing resort? And we’re talking in addition to the other energizing outdoor activities we have waiting for you and your crew: basketball court, our imaginative playground, the Gaga ball pit… shall we go on?

Behind door #1, you’ll find a sparkly new way (well, two ways) to have fun in the sun during your summer vacations at The Red Door Resort. We’ve added two new NorthStar pontoons to the family-friendly resort amenities your go-to vacation spot has to offer. Speeding across the water with the wind in your hair is fun, but have you ever gently cruised on a smooth-riding pontoon, drink in hand, watching the sunset? These spacious leisure liners will allow the kids to spread out after they’ve jumped on and off the platform seemingly 100 times or to play a friendly game of UNO. Pontoon rentals on Lake Mille Lacs are like going to an amusement park and skipping the cotton candy—you’ve got to do it! As far as Minnesota resorts with boat rentals go, The Red Door Resort is the idyllic, joyful,memory-making choice, so don’t miss out on this fresh spin on lake fun!

Behind door #2, there’s detoxifying humidity, harmonious tranquility, and a front-row seat to majestic lake views. The Red Door Resort has incorporated a 14-person LÜTSAUNA sauna into the mix! When it comes to outdoor adventures in Minnesota, a sauna is the epitome of the ultimate in relaxing resort experiences. Take a carefree stroll with the whole family down to this relaxation chamber for a quick steam break. OR maybe the big kids take the little kids back to the cabin for a respite from the action, and the parents take over the sauna. A little kid-free time, taking in the gorgeous views… who doesn’t love a lakeside sauna experience? Or how about an early morning coffee with all the early birds–feathered and otherwise? The Red Door Resort has brought Minnesota summer getaways to the next level.

Last but not least, behind door #3, opening in July, you’ll find a new heated pool at The Red Door Resort. Making us one of the best Minnesota resorts… with a pool. After a nature-filled adventure in the lake, this heated inground oasis will be calling your name. Pull up a lounge chair, grab a few floaties, and relax in this shimmering, playful addition to your summer vacation. It’s always great to have options, right? Marco Polo might be a little easier without lake rocks between your toes, snacks can be a little closer, and we can all agree that sometimes, nothing beats a pool day. For those who would rather keep sand as far away as possible, this will be your new favorite thing as you enjoy your Lake Mille Lacs vacation. And if you love a good old-fashioned sand-on-my-everything afternoon, you’re in luck because there’s been a special delivery of new velvety soft to cushion your bottom and build the coolest castles ever. Options equally awesome–we told you!  

Right about now you might be saying to yourself, gosh, The Red Door Resort is already one of the best resorts in Minnesota for its location, its fishing, its lodging, its service, and its premium offerings, but now it’s one of the best resorts in Minnesota with a sauna, two new pontoons and opening in July a new heated pool? WE KNOW! Book your summer vacation now and be one of the first to experience these exciting new amenities!

Activities at Red Door

The Red Door Resort offers a number of activities at or near the resort. Our swimming beach has a sandy lake bottom that stretches out from shore. Activities available at the main resort include a playground, basketball, and gaga ball pit.

Mille Lacs Lake features a world renowned fishery and is also great for recreational use, including swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, wind surfing, kayaking and canoeing. Off the lake there are walking, hiking and snowmobiling opportunities; many of the trails wind through hundreds of acres of beautiful state land and are accessible year round. The area around the resort has a high concentration of sugar maples, which means that, in the fall, the area has some of the most vibrant colors in the state.

The resort is only minutes away from excellent hunting land, state parks, and golf courses. Further afield, you can access the Grand Casino Mille Lacs, Brainerd International Raceway, Paul Bunyan Land, Wealthwood Rod and Gun Club, and the Mille Lacs Indian Museum.
