Grand View Lodge

National Association for Catering and Events (NACE) hosted its national conference in Denver this week. Our very own Brenna Arvig and members from the Twin Cities Chapter would like to thank for hosting its annual conference. We had a great time, met new peers and learned a lot. Come to Grand View Lodge for your next group meeting! #grandviewlodge #meetingsandevents #cateringteam #exceptionalexperiencesandmemories #bestmeetingsandeventsresort #bestbrainerdlakesareavenue #bestresortformeetingsandevents #associatesfirst #cotecares #cotehospitality #tanqueverderanch #camplincolnforboys #camplakehubertforgirls

Friday fun day here at Grand View Lodge. Our associates are working hard to delight and provide first-class service to all our guests. So we delighted our associates with slushies and cookies. Connection and listening plays a key role in our efforts to create a positive work culture. Slushies and cookies also help. Yum! #randomGVLpopup #associatesfirst #krewthemaltese #fridayfunday #slushiesandcookies #teambuilding #teambonding #cotecares

Our very own Karen Gilbertson, Vice President of IT & Projects, was invited to join the INTELITY Customer Advisory Board. The Board's purpose is to generate feedback on its hospitality software functionality to provide a first- class experience for the guest journey. We're thrilled and excited to introduce the new Grand View Lodge guest app using Intelity mobile technology. Our app will allow guests to quickly navigate resort information, book spa services, golf tee times and restaurant reservations, and more. Thanks to Kate Norton for leading and guiding us through the process of building our app. Steve Proctor Benjamin Keller Ben Velker #cotehospitality #grandviewlodge #tanqueverderanch #celebratingtechnology #grandviewlodgeapp #bookreservationsontheapp #guestexperience #creatingexceptionalexperiences #creatingmemories

Meet Jocelyn Antonucci, our new People Services Manager at Tanque Verde Ranch. She’s quite a match for our award-winning dude ranch. Full of curiosity, experienced in her field and super down to earth. She loves playing video games with her family and cooking feasts. And, she earned a certification in cake baking, referred to as “show cake.” Her daughter refuses to eat store-bought cake for her birthday so Jocelyn will be baking cakes for years to come. And she said her co-workers would never believe she was on The Jerry Springer Show in 2002. We’ll have to find out more about that experience. Her favorite quote? “To teach is to learn twice,” by Joseph Joubert.

Recognizing and honoring Juneteenth. A message from Agnelo A. Fernandes, CEO at Cote Hospitality. #equity #makingprogress #grandviewlodge #tanqueverderanch #camplincolncamplakehubert #exploreminnesota #thisistucson #visittucson #meetminneapolis #onlyinminnesota

Meet Paul Barbaro. He’s in charge of sales for meetings and events here Grand View Lodge. With nearly 20 years’ experience in hospitality sales, he’s ready to go. He has a ton of energy and is curious. He likes to get his team motivated and excited about offering businesses and future brides and grooms the best event venue possible (we offer many) to make their stay memorable and magical. It’s the energy Paul puts out into the world that makes him tick. He has fond memories of visiting the Nisswa area when he was growing up. While not selling, you can find him playing golf, water skiing and boating on Gull Lake. His favorite quote is “Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we catch excellence.” Vince Lombardi #grandviewlodge #meetingandevents #weddings #gulllakecenter #norwaycenter #thechapel #mainlodge #northhotel #nisswalover #golf #waterskiing #boating #awardwinningspa #families #kids #brides #grooms #10restaurants #exceptionalexperiences #creatingmemories #resortlife #championshipgolf #meetminneapolis #tanqueverderanch #camplincolncamplakehubert #exploreminnesota #onlyinmn #lakesproud

Welcome Executive Chef, Justin Grecco, born in South St. Paul, Minn., and a widely known culinary expert and restauranteur in the Twin Cities. While having dinner in the beautiful surroundings of Florence, Italy, Chef had an epiphany, “I want to become a chef.” So, there you have it. It became a reality as he’s worked in the industry for 25-plus years. Chef loves fishing, boating and spending time with his family and grandchildren. He is doing an amazing job creating and perfecting new flavorful dishes served at all our 10 restaurants here at Grand View Lodge. His passion for cooking matches his talent for mentoring staff as they have followed him to each restaurant he’s owned or cooked for throughout his career. Nothing says it better than that. And his favorite quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” -- John F.
