Cook, Minnesota: Ludlow's Island Resort and Pehrson Lodge Resort

Bring the whole family (and some friends) to splurge on Dreamcatcher (pictured), an enchanting four-story tree house with fabulous wooded views at Ludlow's Island Resort. If the $3,500-a-week price tag is too spendy, check out the other 19 cottages, all with decks, wood-burning fireplaces and screen porches. Lots of activities for kids round out days spent fishing and swimming. See reviews and ratings. (877) 583-5697; ludlowsresort.com

The 28 cabins at Pehrson Lodge Resort offer comfortable, quiet and clean lodging, with Minnesotan accents such as loon carvings. A wide, sandy beach promises plenty of room to lounge, and the safely buoyed-off swimming area contains an inflatable water slide. Guests can enjoy kayaks, canoes, sailboats and pedal boats at no extra charge, plus Pehrson features a solid program of kid activities like model sailboat building, fly tying and volleyball.
