My name is Berit Thorkelson, and I'm a travel writer. (www.trustypony.com) I grew up in LeSueur, Minnesota (also known as the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant) and I've spent my whole life exploring Minnesota's charming resorts. I love finding that perfect place to relax and enjoy a beautiful slice of my home state--for me, and for all types of readers looking for all types of vacations. It isn't hard. There are hundreds of great resorts, large and small, all over Minnesota.
View Berit's entire list!
