10/10 Excellent

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice, tidy hotel. A good value. It was weird not having a proper check-in and no contact with staff, but it worked for me. It's not walking distance to town was the only downfall. Nice place for the $."

5 BR, Movie Theater, Game Room, Swimming Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This house fit our family. We had 10 adults and 3 children. We loved the game room in the garage. Two of the children were 11 year old girls and they had a blast singing along to videos in the theater.. We are checking schedules for next year and would like to stay here again."

Rapid River Lodge

8/10 Good

"With Breakfast everything was out of order and tables were all dirty. Hotel staff was sitting behind front counter talking guest had to go ask for things including the omelettes that were kept in the freezer. When booking a room for 6 guestst they only include 4 wristbands the others you need to purchase. Staff in the waterpark was inconsistent one day my grandson was ok you use the big water slide being a 1/2 to short. The next day it was a no. He can't go down them."

Brainerd Lakes Cabin Get Away? Yes Please!

10/10 Excellent

"The property was even better than expected and in 10 years of renting a family summer cabin at various VRBO’s , the host was the best by far. Best communication, best check in /check out instructions and timely responses. The layout worked well for our multi generational family( keep in mind there are stairs up and down /split level if anyone I. Your party can’t do stairs) , having 3 bathrooms was a huge plus, beds were comfortable and very well stocked kitchen. We usually bring water toys, life jackets, tubes, etc and this year they never left the car because they supplied everything !!! The close fire pit was a great benefit and the sandy beach ( along with even sand toys!) was great for the kids. The lake was extremely low so unfortunately no swimming but the fishing was excellent and the 3 kayaks was great fun. Highly recommend the property!"

Cabin Retreat Steps from Gull Lake!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice cabin with views of the lake. It’s right on the highway but very quiet. Comfortable beds, all weather porch. 3full baths. Nice clean beach."
