Top Rice Lake Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

10/10 Excellent

"clean"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Brainerd-Baxter by IHG

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was decent for a hotel. elevator is super slow. I brought my kids here for the night for the water park it sucks it doesn't open till 9am so it's a lot of waiting around with excited kids waiting to go swimming in the morning. Very kid friendly hotel obviously! Been here multiple days and always had a good time with the kids."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"We think the history of Cragun's is really neat. We enjoyed the views from our room and the food at Lakehouse Bar and Grill. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Due to the age and additions of the resort, it does not have the most mobility friendly environment and it was difficult for my older parents. There are many steps and levels. We also think for the price paid for a room, supplies for the "kitchen" area - such as dish soap and hand and drying towels should be provided for ALL rooms. Not just the north end. We did ask for these things and were provided with them at no charge - but they shouldn't need to be asked for. We would stay again."

Charming, Private Cabin / Open Floor Plan / Beautifully Maintained Nisswa Cabin!

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was very clean and was totally what we expected. Had beautiful view of the pond in the back. Very modern. Loved that it was secluded. Did have neighbors to the one side but very quiet area. Will definitely recommend to anyone for a get away. Town was far enough away but not to far."

Cozy cabin 25ft off the water! Near shopping, Restaurants, Attractions & Golf!

8/10 Good

"The cabin was very nice, clean & modern. Couple concerns were the very narrow driveway. We had our trailer & UTV was not able to turn around had to back out the driveway. Also says it sleeps 4. It only has one bed & that's in the loft area with a ships ladder to get up there. Everything else was good. We enjoyed our stay."
