"It's our last day here and as we gather our 7 children around the table to write this brief note, we thank God for Riverside Resort. What dear and precious memories we each carry in our hearts. Reading through the pages of the cottage journal we realize that others love this place, the DeRose's, and our Lord as we do. Grandpa and Grandma have been bringing over 20 grandchildren here for many wonderful years." (Duane & Shirley, Peterson, MN .Cottage # 12

"This is our 6th year at Riverside. Over the years we have stayed at several resorts. Riverside is the very best. Our cabin is always immaculate, spacious and equipped with
excellence. Even more important, Jim, Jeanette, and family are wonderful people. Their friendliness, hospitality and service has been 1st Class from our first visit and every visit. Austin caught a large crappie on his very first cast with his Mickey Mouse pole. He is
keeping the bait a secret, but it looked a lot like a nightcrawler." Bill & Betty, Glendale Heights, IL. Cottage # 16

"This is our only time of special bonding and the only time during the year that we can all be together as a family and catch up with each other's lives. And what a beautiful place to do it in. The scenery is beautiful and serene. The accommodations are outstanding and say 'Welcome Home!" As you come in the door you feel like you are home again." Sue & Scott, Elkhart, IN .Cottage # 3

"This is our third year at Riverside. We were greeted with a bakery treat of assorted muffins and as always, a clean and neat cottage. We have a great view of the lake from the cabin and deck. We enjoyed the fire ring a few times, hot dogs and s'mores were good. The kids got some special prizes from Riverside Rabbit today for entering the coloring contest and both danced with him today!" Mark & Vicky, Nerstrand, MN. Cottage # 9

"We came here from Riverside, California- a 2300 mile trip! We have decided to make this our vacation spot yearly due to the relaxation and of course, the fishing." John & Sandy, Riverside, CA. Cottage # 4

"What a joy it has been for our family to spend our 6th year together at Riverside Resort. We all enjoy the swimming, fishing, and the fun times we spend here. The DeRose family makes you feel like you are part of theirs and the welcoming hugs and greetings prove it to be. We look forward to many years of happy times spent here at Riverside."
