Home away from home

Our family enjoyed our stay at Good Ol' Days Resort. The beach area is very family friendly with sand toys, kayaks, paddle boat, canoe to use for free! They also have a newer play yard set up for the kiddos. Our beds were very cofmy and our rental was very clean. Overall, our stay was fantastic with one tiny exception...... the goose poop all over the lawn! Yes, I know it nature, but its not fun to have to dodge goose crap! Thank you for the wonderfyl stay!

This is a fun little old time family resort; it was quiet, clean and offered more things than I knew about. There wasn’t any sort of guest info available on rooms to review everything thing that was offered; the limited info on website was disappointing as well. We enjoyed our time here, not sure if we would return but overall nice stay.

We had a wonderful one-night girls' getaway here! The cabin is cozy with beautiful views of Lake Cullen. It’s super close to the Paul Bunyan Trail, downtown Nisswa, and Hwy 371. The free breakfast was a nice bonus. Highly recommend for a relaxing trip with friends or family!

I like that the property is well taken care of. I wish it had more than one fire pit though. I also forgot my iPad there and they sent it back to me and saved me drive. Thank you for that. Overall I’ll gladly rebook.
