A crisp evening, a table full of favorites, and local pours made for passing around- this is fall gathering season in the Glenwood Lakes Area.

Plan a tasting, split something savory, and stay for the patio glow.

Stop in and show some Minnewaska love to our neighbors over at WaskaVillage! They're open through the end of day Friday and then are closing for the winter.

I'm so grateful for the amazing coffee, lunch specials, and all of the great shopping and entertainment WaskaVillage brings to Glenwood!

Take a moment to slow down and take in the beauty all around the Minnewaska Area right now!

Rolling hills, open sky, prairie edges, stunning leaves in all shades, and water views make the Glenwood Lakes Area an easy pick for a relaxed autumn drive or a quiet sightseeing stop.

🍂 What view makes you pull over to take in the moment or stop to snap a photo?

🎉 SEVEN YEARS OF MAKING DOWNTOWN GLENWOOD STRONGER! 🎉

This week, we're celebrating Amy Winter for the 7th anniversary of MN Olive Oil Company!

As a 2026 Pope County Business of the Year nominee, Amy deserves recognition for so much more than building a successful business. She's helping keep downtown Glenwood alive and thriving!

Amy has created a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists, bringing valuable foot traffic downtown as one of our few remaining retail storefronts. But what makes her impact truly special is her commitment to lifting up other small businesses, creating collaborative events, and even helping revive the beloved downtown Waterama Crazy Days tradition this summer! A strong downtown takes people who believe in it, invest in it, and work to make everyone around them successful. Amy does all three!

And in true fashion, their anniversary celebration is all about supporting other local businesses, too!
