The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, is ready to redefine your family's summer vacation. Nestled among the serene pines 90 miles from Atlanta, this lakeside haven has something special in store this season, thanks to a unique collaboration with the trendy family lifestyle brand minnow. They're rolling out the "minnow cabana experience," a chic and family-friendly addition to their luxury offerings.
"We are beyond thrilled to bring The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, and minnow partnership to life at the resort this summer," said Ralph Vick, General Manager. "Our team has curated an exclusive and fun family-friendly experience for our resort guests, with collaborative activations at our Family Pool, the boutique, on the Club level and beyond. We also have some really exciting surprise and delight moments throughout the pop-up that are not to be missed! We are confident that our guests will find joy and lasting memories in what we've created together."
Starting from Memorial Day Weekend, guests will get the first dibs on minnow's new summer collection. This preview is exclusively available from May 24 to May 29, before it hits stores. You can check out the trendy swimwear and clothing at a specially designed pop-up shop right at the Family Pool or the resort's own boutique, where the collection will stay throughout the six-week partnership.

Here, families can book one of three stylish cabanas decked out with all the comforts you'd expect – plush chairs, fluffy towels, and a loaded Ritz-Carlton tote bag featuring Sum Bum sunscreen, fun pool toys, koozies, and hats. And let's not forget the Cabana Captain service, ensuring you're well supplied with minnow mini mocktails, popsicles, and various delicious poolside treats throughout the day.
Morgan Smith, minnow's Founder & CEO, is personally thrilled about this collaboration. "This summer, we're thrilled to partner with The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, for an elevated family-friendly minnow-inspired experience and curated retail pop-up poolside. My family and I visited last year and decided we want to make this trip a new family tradition, and infusing minnow for cherished memories that await. Every detail from the cottage lodging, amenities, food and endless activities are magical. It's everything you would envision for an idyllic lakeside summer."
