About this property

Small Family Friendly Lake Front Resort only minutes from Brainerd

Pricing includes cleaning fees
Sit back, relax and enjoy the view looking over the lush sloping landscape that leads down to the lake, our 2 story + loft cabins leave little to be desired. As you step inside from the screened patio there is a cozy place to watch TV and washer and dryer free for your use. Down the hall, you have a full bath and 2 bedrooms. The second story holds the large dining area, full kitchen with dishwasher, bathroom and 2 larger bedrooms. The overlooking loft is a favorite for kids of all ages. The high ceiling and open layout, creates a great place for large gatherings. The spacious second story deck lifts you into the treetops, and holds incredible views, both day and night. Directly below is the screened patio offering a scenic view of its own & a great space to get some shade or enjoy a meal in any weather. Outside the patio you will find your own personal fire pit, grill, and picnic table.
Price includes cleaning fee; however our expectation is that you will leave the cabin as nice or nicer than you found it. Thank you.

We had a great time on the lake.
We loved the paddleboards, kayaks, floating dock, and pontoon. So many fun things to do on the lake. The fishing was good. It was fun to see the turtles too. The deck off our cabin was wonderful to sit on anytime of day, the spaciousness of our cabin was perfect for our family of 5. Our kids all had their own room. The full kitchen made it super easy to make our own meals. My only suggestion would be for more comfortable indoor chairs to sit on, maybe updated beds and bedding, curtains. The curtains were a little thin and the neighbors next to us kept their outdoor light on, which shined into our bedroom at night. Overall we had a lot of fun.

Large house on an amazing lake
We loved Hardy Lake. It wasn’t too cold. We like the small size. There were so many fun boats to use. The house wasn’t too fancy, but it met our needs. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. We didn’t know to bring our own towels, oops. The washer and dryer were great to have. Air conditioning worked well.

Overall Great Vacation
Stayed a week on the property with family consisting of 4 children and a toddler. The kids had a blast playing in the lake and trying out the canoes and paddle boards. I'm from out of state so I wasn't quite prepared for the constant onslaught of mosquitos, but that's not the properties problem as this was constant wherever we went. Bring bug spray!

Perfect summer vacation
We had such a blast at the Shady Hollow resort. Fishing was exciting:). Being able to use all the paddle boards/kayaks/canoes/swim dock was so fun! The pontoon available for rent was really nice and so reasonably priced. Diana and Sheila were so welcoming and kind with us all. They coordinated a craft time with the kids that they totally loved! There was a plumbing issue that came up while we were there and they resolved it so quickly. Can’t wait for the next chance to come back :).

Great Stay
My family and I loved everything about this property. Diana was very sweet and accommodating. We enjoyed renting the pontoon and thought the price was very reasonable. All of the water toys an added plus. Our cabin was very comfortable for two families. Nice and quiet and lake view was beautiful. Thank you shady hallow resort for creating lasting memories!
