Not Many People Realize This Incredible Palace Is Hiding In Minnesota

Here in Minnesota, we are lucky to have many examples of beautiful architecture. Though our state may not be home to any real castles or fortresses, there are still plenty of impressive places that are well worth visiting. One of our favorites – and perhaps Minnesota’s closest thing to a palace – is a gorgeous lodge hiding in the northern reaches of the state. Read on to learn about Minnesota’s incredible palace:

Naniboujou Lodge is a lesser known northern Minnesota establishment. If you’re traveling up north, you’ll find it at 20 Naniboujou Trail, Grand Marais, MN 55604.

The other common areas are not quite as wild, but they are still more than comfortable. Plenty of seating in the lounge will help you enjoy your palatial getaway.
