“A little known gem”

Because this resort is small and tucked away, it is not well known, and that may be intentional--they seem to attract plenty of guests anyway. The property is immaculate, the cabins simple, the charms basic, the attractions timeless. Trails, marked with signs pointing out burial mounds, forest regeneration patterns, and why dead trees are left to rot (to sustain various wild creaturest), wind through hardwood forests, giving easy glimpses of deer, woodpeckers (saw six different species in an hour's walk) and breeding loons. The property is small enough that young kids can roam, large enough that you can take a two hour hike and barely see another guest. The swimming lake clean and easy to monitor.
The restaurant is so good it's almost too much, but since it's included in the price who's to complain? Don't come here to party, but if you like good food, good drink, and think nature should be at the center of a Minnesota vacation, then this is a great place. My ten year old loves it here, and so do her parents.

“Lost Lake Lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2007

We just return from this resort and had a fabulous time. It is a beautiful, newly remodeled, smaller resort on the Gull Lake Narrows. There are 13 one to three bedroom cabins all facing the narrows. Each cabin has a deck, wood burning fireplace and a great view. It is an all inclusive resort and a fabulous four course dinner and a full breakfast is included in your stay. My husband got up early and took a bike for a ride. We had an awesome canoe ride after breakfast full of wildlife. We saw 4 Blue Heron, 2 Loons, and a family of ducks. The beach is on their private Lost Lake. There is a 1 mile hike around it on which we saw a family of deer. It is minutes from the town of Nisswa for shopping.
