Palmquist Farm

Like many places in the Midwest this week, Palmquist Farm received about 8 inches of new snow. This is more than enough to ski on, so make your reservation now for a cross-country skiing vacation!

We're also busy decorating for the Christmas season. Today we're making fresh new wreaths to hang all over the Farm, and soon we'll have Christmas trees ready for our guests to enjoy.

We hope you've had an enjoyable winter so far, and we wish you safe travels during the coming holiday season.

Here is an e-mail that we received from some guests who stayed with us over Christmas 2008:

Dear Jim, Helen and Family:

We had the greatest time with our family at Palmquist Farm from Dec 22 thru Dec 25. It was a dream of our sister Yvette’s to spend Christmas with us in a Winter Wonderland and Palmquist Farm was our Wonderland! :)

The White Pine Inn was so comfortable – and there were so many unique aspects - we’ve been in some big bathrooms before, but this was a first one to have a church pew in it!

We had so much fun with our excursions! I had not been sledding for 12 years (since college) and your hill was perfect! We also had fun on the sleigh ride, snow shoeing and cutting down a tree from the woods with Otis, who was also an unexpected treat – he is the greatest vacation dog. It was a Christmas miracle that our two brother-in-laws (Pat and Sergio), who do not like dogs at all, loved Otis. We’re all big fans! Please give him a hug for us. :)

And after a full day of playing, the In-Lodge massage and Finnish Sauna was such a relaxing retreat for the girls. The 2-floor Sauna was amazing… We also looked forward to our home cooked meals every day! The ribs and those silver dollar pancakes were my favorite. Ken's was the hot cereal...



Thank you again for such a welcoming resort experience, and thank you for judging our Gingerbread House competition! The grading sheets were the best! :) The girls will have to have rematch to beat the boys.

We would definitely recommend spending another winter vacation at Palmquist Farm to our family and friends!



Warmly,

Giovanna & Ken
