HAZELHURST, Wis. (WXPR) — A video posted late last week by Travel Wisconsin featuring a Northwoods resort has caught the attention of 200,000 people.
The video features Black’s Cliff Resort of Hazelhurst and showcases the tradition of lakeside cabins and family reunions. State Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett says the video is centered on the Northwoods cabin experience from a family’s point of view. “We’ve done a lot of videos that I think are great quality and showcase Wisconsin well, but there’s something about the message of this video with family and Northwoods, peace, tranquility, beauty that’s really hard to beat.”
The two and a half minute video follows the Thompson family on their annual summer vacation to Black’s Cliff Resort. It’s been their family tradition for more than 50 years, and members of the family travel from Chicago and Colorado for their two week reunion. The video was posted Friday morning and has 205,000 views. To view the video visit Travel Wisconsin’s website, Facebook or YouTube page.
