Top Bay Lake Hotel Reviews

Country Inn Deerwood

8/10 Good

"It's a nice standard room, nothing wrong with it.The staff was friendly.It was quiet.There's some really nice places to go to around the area.It was just a nice little quick stop.Enjoyed itThe kids had the pool all to themselves.It was nice"

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The Lodge is 20 years old and it looks that old BUT it is very well maintained. The oly issue I had was that the bed mattresses were old and squeaky. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The water park was so fun! We will stay again the next time we are in Baxter."

River View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet room. Easy to get checked in."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfy beds"

Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, but clean. Convenient location, even with construction. Beds were rather soft and breakfast was OK."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is cozy. Not sterile feeling, but a "lived-in" feel is probably the best way to describe it. It was clean. The queen bed was quite nice. It's got a memory foam feel to it and my wife and I slept on it comfortably. We are used to a select number bed at home, so I was surprised at how nice we did sleep. The best part of this cabin is the view. Absolutely wonderful. I would say the only down side is the random noise disrupting the quietness. Neighbor's dog barking, Brainerd's train at 0600, and artillery impact concussions from Camp Ripley at random. Obviously these things are out of the owners control and by all means, don't plan your trip around noise. I basically have nothing bad to say so that's my only complaint. We would highly recommend."

Lakeside Sand Beach House on 3 Acres of fun Near Nisswa and Cross Lake.

10/10 Excellent

"The house is located in a beautiful setting, close to the lake and surrounded by trees. The house has plenty of room for a very large gathering with abundant beds and bathrooms. The hot tub (or sauna) is a perfect place to relax after a day of fishing or hiking. The bunk house/game room is the perfect place to go have fun on a rainy day. Mark and Andria are wonderful and very responsive hosts. Our entire family enjoyed our stay."
