"Our week at Riverside Resort was A # 1! Jim and Jeanette are great and provide a top notch resort. We had many laughs and fun times in our cabin as well as beachside.

"What a wonderful place for a family reunion! We had 4 cabins and 5 generations. This is our third year here and each year we have more of the third and fourth generation because we tell them what a wonderful resort we've found. There's something for everyone, and the staff bends over backwards to keep everything convenient for us. The atmosphere of caring says 'Welcome' as soon as you arrive." Glenda, Coon Rapids, MN., Cottage # 3

"This was our first year at Riverside Resort. We were impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful accommodations. We were blessed on Sunday by the 'Bethel Connection' singing group from Bethel College. We also enjoyed the Sunday noon cookout and Monday evening volleyball game." Marv & Joanne, Story City, IA. Cottage # 7

"We are coming to the end of out 4th year in Cabin # 4 -great place and great view of the lake! We are here with my entire family -22 of us scattered in various cabins. We have had a GREAT week! The weather has been gorgeous. Watching the fireworks over the lake ( on July 4th) was very beautiful. The DeRose's are great and do so much to make our stay here so enjoyable. Our 6 year old water skied for the first time! Many wonderful memories have been made!" Jay & Sharon, Sioux Falls, SD., Cottage # 4

"We've had a wonderful week vacationing together and that calls for Praises to the Lord. The weather was beautiful for boating, swimming, and fishing. Special thanks to the DeRose's for being so accommodating. The giving of your time, in and out of the water, makes our stay here so pleasurable. You're a wonderful family and are a blessing to those of us who stay at Riverside Resort. Thank you for being so gracious." Harold & Lucy, Lonsdale, MN. Cottage # 10

"Waking up every morning to the sound of birds singing was so special every morning. Several mornings we were up and on the lake between 6:30- 7:00 a.m. in our canoe. The water was like glass, the little ducks were swimming around, and all was calm and beautiful. We have appreciated our experiences and cabin very much. The DeRose family has gone the 'extra mile' to ensure a clean cabin, a well-equipped kitchen, cable T .V., and air-conditioner, and soft water (pretty curtains too!) The worship service on Sunday was special too. For a special time away from our busy schedules, a time to relax and reflect, this is the place!" Chuck & Gail, Carroll, IA. Cottage # 6
