Top Red Sand Lake Hotel Reviews

Maddens On Gull Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Maddens was the most wonderful vacation spot we have two littles and it was the perfect place for us."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"The staff was very welcoming & the rooms were clean. The continental breakfast was good as well, I’m only ranking this 4 stars because one of the few amenities (the soda machine) wasn’t working at the time & the bathroom tub grout was off putting."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay."

Rapid River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was better than expected. The hotel was full for Labor Day weekend yet it never felt packed. There were plenty of spaces to sit for breakfast and in the water park. The rooms were very clean with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are several places to eat nearby and a lot of entertainment options."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was so friendly!! Great pool and hot tub! The water in the pool was comfortably warm. Awesome breakfast"

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice breakfast and such a sweet lady preparing it. We had 4 small children and she was super patient with the kids and just busy"

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"At first we were a little taken aback that there was no front desk clerk. But the owners texted us our individual door code which was also the same as our room code. They seemed to be very responsive as they replied to my “thank you”. That gave me some assurance that we could get a hold of someone, if needed. The room was updated and clean. Nice large screen tv, a good fridge, and comfy beds and pillows. Maybe I felt the carpet could’ve used replacing but everything was in overall excellent condition. We did not use the pool facilities or breakfast as we were visiting family in the area. It’s just a short drive to the grocery, walkable during the day. And another short drive to the downtown Nisswa area. Everything looked clean and bright! I’ll post some pics I took—forgot to take one of the room though! It was a pleasant stay & was within our budget. Would return again!"

Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

10/10 Excellent

"Great weekend. Doug was a great host"

5 BR, Movie Theater, Game Room, Swimming Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect, quiet little lake getaway with the whole family! We had 6 adults and 4 kids sleep comfortably and have the best time! Easy to get to other lake towns and enjoy what Minnesota has to offer!"
