As the 21st century progressed, expectations for travel and lodging changed. Travelers wanted modern conveniences but still craved authenticity. Jennings Resort adapted:
Updating cabins without losing their character
Offering stronger emphasis on long-term stays
Maintaining family-led customer service
Keeping the resort peaceful rather than commercialized
The resort navigated changing demands by preserving its identity: a laid-back, lakeside retreat where visitors could disconnect from busyness and reconnect with nature.
The Importance of Family Ownership
A key reason Jennings Resort has remained authentic for generations is its continued family involvement. Family-run establishments often maintain:
Care for the land
Pride in consistent hospitality
Knowledge of guests’ traditions
Deep emotional connection to the property
