Baxter

"Beautiful home, well located with a lovely view of White Sand Lake. Serene setting, with lots of seating area outside, and yet close to town and shopping areas. The home is spacious, allowing us to spread out and yet be together. Lots of bathrooms really helped when 14 women tried to get ready to go out. And we really appreciated the dining area where we could all comfortably sit together without crowding. We would consider booking it again. (One caveat, we didn't realize the 14th sleeping area...

"Buyer Beware- This host forced me to spend the night in a 100 degree cabin with no AC and although it wasn't listed as an amenity the host never replied to the question of "Is there AC?" Upon arrival and discovering the lack of any cooling capacity on the hottest day of the year the host denied the refund request. Combine this with the complete lack of WIFI (Advertised amenity) and you have the longest inferno of a night imaginable. Do not rent this place in the summer and be sure to consider...

"We had a fantastic, relaxing visit at this property. The host was responsive to my questions (even the ones that turned out to be silly user error on my part). The cottage was perfect for us and the location was beautiful. We enjoyed the kayaks on the river and the lake and used the hot tub more than daily. The bed was extremely comfortable - and the pillows were great. We would definitely return, it was a much-needed getaway."

Top Brainerd Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property. No complaints, just needs a few kitchen items like storage bags or left over containers."

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."

Brainerd Waterfront Lake Retreat Sleeps 18 Hot Tub, Sand Beach, Great Fish

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful retreat for a long weekend with friends. The kids loved the bunk room and we had fun enjoying the entire property. The kitchen had everything we needed, which was awesome."

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."
