Nisswa and Pequot Lakes are located a short distance from Breezy Point and offer an array of shops. We spent some time in the shops of Nisswa.
Many of the shops have northwoods arts and crafts. Carvings and artwork as well as maple syrups and wild rice are some of the things you can find.
Several of the shops had fine dishware--unique items--that were of great quality and very elegant. The entertainer or gourmet can find wine serving sets, fine and exotic teas and spices.
Our kids loved The Chocolate Ox, a candy store with adult fare--fudge and truffles--as well as bulk candies that they loved. They also loved The Lucky Loon, a toy store with toys you may have never seen before. Very creative stuff in this store--things that will encourage a child's creativity and imagination.
There is a doll shop with a wide selection of miniatures as well as some vintage and antique dolls that will take you down memory lane.
We ate at The Nisswa Grill. It had a very nice atmosphere--nice and warm by the fireplace. The food was great and very inexpensive.
You might also like to check out the store Scandinavian Living, which is not located on the main street strip but is on the road back to Breezy Point. There are unique furniture items as well as dishware and decorative items.
There are is at least one art gallery on the main street and one or more along the road. We went in the one on the main street. You'll find nature and wildlife art.
You'd enjoy this area for a little trip a short half-hour away from Breezy.
