Lodging and Accommodations

We built the Spanish Language Village on Turtle River Lake near Bemidji, Minn., to make you feel as though you’ve magically happened upon a real Spanish village.   The comfortable cabins and facilities are nestled in the beautiful North Woods of Minnesota.  As unexpected as it is beautiful, every detail of this Village — from the mailboxes to the street signs to the menus — are authentic to Spanish-speaking cultures.

Climate
Minnesota is typical of a continental climate. The North Woods of Minnesota experiences the widest variety of weather in the United States. Each of the four seasons has its own distinct characteristics.  Although summers are generally hot and humid, it is normal to experience rain showers, thunderstorms and cool nights.  Summer temperatures average 85 F but can get down to 55 F, so keep that in mind while packing!
