Good Ol Days Resort, a 5-star property on Lower Cullen Lake, features Arts & Crafts style lodge with original 1920's cabin wood and four-season twinhome cottages offering modern lakeside living. This newly renovated property spans 700 feet of pristine shoreline with a general store, multiple beaches, and docking facilities.

Luxury Lake Cottages

Lodge-Side Cottages provide spacious living with full-sized kitchens showcasing mission-style hickory cabinets and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. The accommodations at Good Ol Days Resort feature double locking adjoining doors between units, three-season porches, and additional sleeping quarters on second levels.

Breakfast Options Available

The breakfast counter serves continental breakfast, while Ganley's Restaurant, located half a mile away, offers their renowned pancakes and cinnamon rolls.

Resort Recreation Facilities

Good Ol Days Family Resort offers complimentary kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and paddleboats. Activities include beach volleyball, corn hole, croquet, and indoor entertainment in the Lodge Game Room with ping pong and pool tables.

Central Lakes Location

Located 21.5 miles from Brainerd Lakes Regional airport, the resort provides access to Paul Bunyan Trail within 1 miles and Nisswa City Park within 0.5 miles. The property connects to over 300 holes of golf in the Brainerd Lakes Area.

“I see a well-regarded Nisswa resort perfectly pitched for family stays. The cottages appear comfortable, with an Arts & Crafts influence that gives them character. Between the lake access and organized activities, it's easy to envision both kids and adults entertained across all seasons. For extended stays, I suspect the flexible management can be very accommodating.”
