Location - Shady Resort Resort

How do we get to Shady Rest ResorT

One of the best reasons for choosing Shady Rest Resort is the great location. You don’t have to travel a extra 2 or 3 hours to enjoy a great vacation “Up at the Lake”

Shady Rest Resort is located in the west central part of Minnesota just southwest of Alexandria between Sauk Centre and Glenwood. We know that packing up the car or truck and getting the kids ready for a vacation is hard enough without having to get lost on your way. Lets see if we can avoid that.

We’re just 2 hours from the Twin Cities and so easy to get to from any direction!

NOTE: Be careful when you use your turn by turn feature on your gps. Many, Google for sure, will take you to the back side of our Resort where there is no entrance. Our entrance is right on state Hyw 28
