“I have a great staff because they are willing to consider all the options and because they are willing to try these kinds of new things,” he said. “It is a 10-year masterplan, and it is, of course, a floating document, so as new trends come up, we’ll be able to change direction if we have to.

“This new masterplan has a lot of opportunity within it because we are looking at a lodge, at restaurants, more cabins, tenting camping, RV parking, and a full-length nine-hole golf course,” White said. That leaves, White noted, another 250 acres of space. With the addition of the new cabins and the high-adventure attractions a total of 400 acres have been developed in same way. And when I came into the picture in 2008, they were already working on more, and here we are today.” Thanks to that plan cabins were added, and so were the banquet hall, miniature golf, and the playground area. “What is happening here at Grand Vue is something that really started back in 2003, when the Marshall County commissioners put together a master plan.

One of our current courses has been ranked as the best in the state, and that’s allowed us to attract disc golfers from throughout this part of the country.”įour new “treehouse” cabins will be constructed and completed by the end of the summer. “We knew we were up to something when we added disc golf in 2010, and now we have two courses, and we’re looking to add a third course in 2016. “We are looking forward to adding all of these new amenities to Grand Vue Park because the community is going to enjoy them very much,” he said. “Some of the views that you will have from these cabins are going to be striking, and those guests will probably see more deer and birds than they have ever seen in their lives. “When you stay at one of these cabins, you’re going to be in nature the entire time,” White said. They will feature glass walls, wrapped decking, and ADA accessibility as well as flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and wood-burning fireplaces with electric starters. The views from the one- and two-bedroom structures will be amongst the trees located at the end of the road where the park’s larger cabins are located now. The cabins, the general manager explained, should be complete by the end of next summer and will be constructed on towers.

This capital improvement campaign will cost approximately $2.5 million with the high-adventure area priced at nearly $700,000. We want to offer things that are completely new to this region and these additions will allow us to accomplish that goal.” “We don’t want to do the cookie-cutter things. These cabins will be smaller, and they will be ‘treehouse’ cabins,” he continued. “Another part of what Grand Vue will do next year is add four new cabins, but these are going much different from the eight cabins that we have now. Nearly $700,000 will be spent on the addition of the new “high adventure” area.
