I am returning next summer for a week in July. My parents have been coming and staying at Shady Rest for 14 years. When we first started coming we only needed 1 cabin but now we are up to 3. The resort is a family owned resort and they have always been wonderful to us. As a child, I spent...

My family has been coming to this resort for years (cabin, tenting, and a long time ago a seasonal rental mobile home). The resort offers plenty of things to do - playground, shuffleboard, basketball, tennis, horseshoes, volleyball (all equipment available free of charge) - along with lake activities such as swimming (beach with sun deck) and fishing (boat rentals -...

Overall it was a decent resort. Make sure to bring games or activities for children under 12. Not much for them to do onsite. Friendly staff. Cabin beds are a bit rough. Nice lake, and decent fishing.
My wife and I have brought the kids up to Shady Rest for quite a few years and have always enjoyed ourselves. The owners are very nice and we always get together a few times during the week. The cabins are very nice and they are always being improved on. I'm glad they atarted adding queen beds to them. The...

As the owner, I apologize for the bad experience that you had while staying at Shady Rest. Everyone at Shady Rest does their best to make every guest's stay as enjoyable as possible.

We have went the last 2 years with our 4 daughters, niece, in-laws and relatives and everyone had a wonderful time. Beautiful sunsets and plenty of fish to catch off the docks or in the boat. My girls enjoyed swimming at the beach and finding sea shells in the water. They even found a "Mud Puppy" to get pictures of....

Thank you for you kind review. Rio, by the way, hates winters when there are no guests around.

This our first time we went to a resort in Minnesota but we thought our kids would like it so what the heck, lets give it a try. The kids had a blast. They fished and went swimming every day. It rained one day and we went to Alexandria to see the museums. The boat one was wonderful. The cabins...

This was our second summer at Shady Rest. They did more changes on our cabins, #4 and #5 and we love it. Can't wait to see what they'll have updated next year. Kids love the playground and the beach, they added a new swim raft that my oldest loves. Fishing was not great until the last 3 days. My wife...
