The History of Nystrom's

If you’ve ever longed for a place to slow down, to step away from the rush, and to simply reconnect with what matters most, you’ll find it here. Since 1942, Nystrom’s Resort has been a hidden Northwoods retreat where families return year after year. Born from one man’s vision and carried on through four generations, it remains a place where stress fades, the lake sets the rhythm, and every stay feels like coming home.

Testimonials

"Peace; tranquility; a great place for family fishing; just our favorite place on earth! Plus, the most wonderful hosts ever. This will be our 28th year! When we first called the Nystroms, we asked how long some of their guests had been coming there. We got answers like 25 years, and 32 years, and so on. We were like, “Seriously??  Who would go to the same place year after year like that?” We placed that call 28 years ago and have been back every year since then. There is a saying that what I do today is important, as I am spending a day of my life for it.  The time we spend with the Nystrom’s every year is time we could not see spending any other way."
