Top Brainerd Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice and clean. There were 4 life jackets in the waterpark- on the website it says there are life jackets avaliable for use. We have 6 kids! This was one of our only complaints. The breakfast is average but complementary!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Country Inn! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. After several days on the road, it was exactly what we needed. We felt comfortable and well taken care of and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The entire experience was fabulous. We wanted someplace to just be away from our normal routine. It was wonderful to watch all the kids on the lake, the friendly boaters going by. Watching the Loons and a family of ducks. The cabin was very clean and easy to navigate. It was right on the lake. Couldn't get any closer unless you were in it. My husband sat on the deck the entire time and loved it. I drove to Miners Mountain and walked the trails, it was beautiful and only about 17 minutes away. A good place to eat right off the main road, before turning into the road to the cabin. I would recommend this cabin to anyone."

Private Beach: Lakefront Escape in Brainerd!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay with three families and would definitely recommend this home. The layout was perfect for a large group, with great visibility to the beach and yard, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids. We loved the private beach, kayaks, beach toys, game room, spacious yard, and how close it was to Baxter for groceries and anything else we needed. The home felt warm, welcoming, and communication with the host was excellent.A few improvements would make it even better. The upstairs bedrooms got quite warm with the doors closed, so better airflow or fans would help, and blackout curtains would be a great addition for families with young kids. The grill was slow and didn't heat evenly, there was quite a bit of goose poop around the beach and yard, and we would have appreciated a recycling option.Overall, we made wonderful family memories here and would happily stay again."

Tiny Home-A Frame-Sauna-Cold Plunge-Fire Pit-Seclusion

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to retreat to the woods. It's not on North Long Lake but it is near the Paul Bunyon Trail and between Brainerd and Nisswa. The space was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked and had what we needed to make meals. The host did a great job communicating and responding to any questions. Would stay here again."
