Perfect for Families!

We had an awesome family getaway! The cottages were super cozy, and the setup was perfect for us. The playground was just a hop away. The sandy beach was great for the kids. The only thing we didn’t love was how dim the lounge area was—it didn’t invite us to hang out. Breakfast was a sweet bonus too!

We had a fantastic stay at Good Ol Days Resort! The cottage we rented was perfect for our family, featuring a cozy living area with a gas grill and a large picnic table that made every meal enjoyable outside. The playground was just a few steps away, and the beach area was safe for our grandkids. The location was also great for exploring Nisswa via the scenic Paul Bunyan Trail. Overall, all the amenities made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together.

The lounge area was poorly lit and somewhat uninviting.

The cozy atmosphere created by the friendly staff is unforgettable, especially when I enjoyed breakfast by the lit fireplace with a thoughtful conversation about the resort's history.

We loved the clean rooms and comfy beds! The outdoor playground by the lake was perfect for our kids, and the bikes made exploring so much fun! We’ll definitely come back!

excellent access to downtown and scenic paul bunyan trail

I loved how close this place was to downtown Nisswa, making it easy to enjoy restaurants and local shops. I had a great time biking along the scenic Paul Bunyan Trail that runs right by the resort. it really felt like my own serene mini getaway while being just a stone's throw from the buzz of the town.

my recent stay in nisswa was amazing. the resort exceeded my expectations with its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful lake views. i loved the easy access to outdoor activities and the friendly staff who helped with everything during my stay.

internet connection was spotty at times.

We enjoyed a pleasant family trip with a cozy cabin experience and beautiful lake views. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited and the beds could use some improvement for better comfort. It's a nice spot for families but could benefit from some updates.

Lakefront access, unique cabin designs, playground for kids

Incredibly disappointing to find poorly lit common areas!!! An unkempt garbage situation by entry and a lack of repair on facilities are clear oversight areas!!! The outdated decor left much to be desired for a modern experience!!!

This place is awesome! Kayaking and biking were highlights.

Our stay was fantastic! The resort offered endless fun with activities like kayaking and swimming in the large shallow area, perfect for our little ones. The nearby Paul Bunyan Trail was a hit for biking. The beautiful sunrises made our mornings special.

My kids wished for a vacuum in the cottage to handle all the sand we tracked in.

The location is so ideal that if it were more picturesque, it would have its own Instagram account. The cottages were cozy, like a warm blanket on a chilly night, and the beach area had way more sand than my backyard sandbox ever dreamed of. The staff was friendlier than a golden retriever at a puppy party, making sure we had everything we needed!

Old bedding

great stay but minor issues

The staff was super accommodating with our electric bikes, providing secure charging options. The balcony overlooking the grounds and lake added joy to our stay. The entire property felt well cared for, which heightened our experience. The serene lake view was truly a highlight of our time.

The dining options were somewhat limited during our visit.

a cozy escape with family-friendly vibes and free activities like canoes

Perfect setting for families and outdoor fun.
