Property is dated, beds not great and breakfast options very limited. We were looking for a place along the Paul Bunyan trail and this filled the bill. You get what you pay for.

Charming, older, well-groomed pine cabin-themed resort with other cabin options. We were in the main building, had a simple clean room an area on balcony and all the basic amenities (TV, microwave, coffeemaker, sm refrig, small desk, 1 easy chair). The surrounding paths and grounds are beautiful. Great for families with small outdoor children's play area. Cost is very approachable in popular Nisswa area with cute shops and cafes/coffee shops/ pub grills a short distance away. Several opportunities for lake activities at the resort with bikes also available to ride the Paul Bunyon trail just outside the entrance. Easy direct access from room balcony to open grounds, campfire and beach area. No elevator and continental breakfast was nothing special but we were there at start of fall so fewer people staying. Very restful and enjoyable stay for us. We will stay there again!

The math is easy when you add an idyllic spot to an ideal location with a very favorable price Point it equals a real gem. We have been traveling a fair amount in the first year of retirement and have found no better stay than the Good Ol’ Days Lodge.

The property was clean, quiet and well maintained. The whole resort centers on the lake front, which is beautiful. Available activities included; kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, fishing (off boat docks and off kayaks), boating (for rent from the resort), basketball, volleyball, children’s playground and more. There was plenty to do. The room was clean and spacious. The only negative was the breakfast was continental, it was just ok. We will return for sure.
