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.

Love this resort. We had one little issue and talked to the front desk. They couldn’t fix the issue so they upgraded us to a different room. They were so on top of it all and just wonderful. There is lots to do in the area and lots to explore. Just one side note, the beds do need updating. They are not really comfortable but I have slept on worse. We had to sleep in separate beds as they sank in the middle and we had to fight our way out of the middle. But don’t let this stop you from staying here, it was a small price to pay.

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!
