Welcome to Shady Hollow Resort

Your Classic Minnesota Vacation Destination

Shady Hollow Resort offers you the quintessential Minnesota vacation experience, providing the perfect getaway for families seeking relaxation and adventure in a serene setting.

Comfortable Accommodations

We have recently downsized and now offer just two short-term rental options: Cabin 4 and Cabin 5. Each cabin features two bedrooms and a loft, providing extra sleeping space to accommodate families comfortably. These cabins are ideal for group gatherings, with a maximum reunion size of approximately 10 to 12 people.

Our Location and Family-Friendly Atmosphere

As a small, family-owned resort situated on Hardy Lake, just minutes from Brainerd, we ensure a peaceful and secluded environment. Parents can enjoy peace of mind while children delight in our warm, swimmable lake and a playground filled with toys that are consistently popular with guests. Many kids have even caught their first fish here before their families finished unpacking.

Personalized Guest Support

• We are here for you: If you’re unfamiliar with making a campfire, baiting a hook, or removing a fish, we’re happy to assist and teach you.
• Outdoor Activities: If you want to learn how to use a canoe, paddleboard, or kayak, our staff is ready to help you get started and make the most of your stay.

Ongoing Improvements

We continuously update and remodel our accommodations to maintain a high standard of comfort and quality for our guests.

An Uncrowded “Up North” Experience

Let Shady Hollow Resort provide your next “up north” vacation without the crowds, high costs, or congestion found at the larger Brainerd Lakes Area resorts and lakes. Our convenient location also offers easy access to dining and shopping, ensuring both tranquility and convenience during your stay.
