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!

Patio door off of our room. Trails to the lake were blacktop and great for my walker or cane when touring lakewalk. Driveway could be wider as we were almost hit by a Hummer coming in as we were going out.

The property was clean. We enjoyed having the view of the lake. There are a few repair and maintenance issues you might want to look at. For example the wall going up to the second floor wasn't completely painted. The fans in the bathrooms were dirty. The front door didn't have a window covering which we found interesting. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

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.

Overall we liked the property. It was very convenient to get to and it would be very fun to stay there in the summer being on the lake. It was also nice to be close to the town of Nisswa where we could dine and shop and also very close to Brainerd Baxter area which we enjoyed. The thing we didn't like was that the beds were very uncomfortable. We got a very poor night of sleep because of the beds. They need to be replaced. We were in the main lodge room #2 and I wouldn't stay there again because of this.

While we stayed during the off season, we extended our stay because we loved the resort so much. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a three bedroom cottage and loved the space, privacy, and felt like it worked perfect for our family. We will definitely repeat our stay based on the resort, it's promixity to Nisswa.
