Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

6/10 Okay

"They overcharged me for the room, And continental breakfast was terrible!"

Cabin on Rice Lake access to Mississippi River 1 bedroom/1 bath sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying in this cozy cabin! The point allowed us to fish on all sides of the cabin, and we caught lots of sunfish and one big largemouth bass.We loved being so close to the water, and had everything we needed to be comfortable inside. Coffee and coffee maker, cozy blankets, A/C in the bedroom, a TV. And it’s close enough to town that we were able to order pizza deliver :)Loved everything about it, and so did my husband!!"

Maddens On Gull Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful lakefront property. Enjoyed our one night stay in the Mission Point section. Would request first floor next time in this section if traveling with young children or a senior as there is no elevator. Very nice updated unit overlooking the lake on the 2nd floor with a huge balcony. We enjoyed visiting the smaller beach in the Mission Point section and getting drinks from the indoor bar in the restaurant right next to the beach. We liked exploring all of the different sections and could easily spend several days enjoying all of the different onsite activities. The Strawberry Ridge section pool could use some updating. The children's wadding pool had a strange color and the whole pool area could use some renovations. The other outdoor pool near the lobby is beautiful, but did not have a wading pool for our little one so we did not use this. Good food onsite. Typical prices for large resorts in northern Minnesota. Very friendly staff. Looking forward to future stays!"

NEW - The Boardwalk on North Long Lake Brainerd with Hot Tub, Pet-Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We had a relaxing, quiet weekend. Large yard with sun and shade. Plenty of room for games and relaxing. Very surprised and happy it was so quiet for such a large lake. Great stay! We would definitely book again."
