Shady Rest Resort and Campground 16953 142nd Street, Villard, MN 56385

"Very nice resort. Stayed in a 3 bedroom cabin for a week. Excellent rooms right on the lake. Staff was very helpful and friendly. First time staying here and I would come back. Fishing was slow but fun. Thank you"

"Our friends have a seasonal spot here. It's very clean, not dog friendly and a rather small but very nice and clean beach. The cabins are right on the water, all various sleep sizes."

"We had some last minute changes due to the Covid pandemic and the people there were very accommodating. We were there for 5 days and it was wonderful. The fish weren't biting much but we did pull a few out. The cabin was great and the people were very nice. Love the sweatshirt I got from their shop-needed it as the nights were a bit colder than I packed for. The beach was nice. My granddaughters loved playing on the slide and in the water. It wasn't too deep for them to walk to the platform. (5 and 7 yrs) The adults enjoyed the campfires and fishing. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and dishes. The bedrooms were nice and the living space was large enough for the family. (We had a cabin and an RV but mostly hung out at the cabin) We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Shady Rest. Next trip with the family we will definitely try to get a reservation!"

"Very helpful staff and well kept grounds. Water is clear and lots of shells on the cute beach area. Safe place for kids to be kids! They have kayaks and a paddle boat to rent and games to borrow. We enjoyed Bocce ball :)"

"Canary beach is an excellent place for anyone to visit. Place is very well kept, Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Great people, we have been camping at Canary for 10-15 yrs and this place just keeps getting better, great place for family and friends. Cabins are well suited, clean and comfortable, we have alot of fun at Canary beach."
