Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"The home was lovely. A little disconcerting to have any traps on the kitchen counter though. Tried to contact owner for departure instructions and they never answered so we just did what most vrbo renters have asked. Also, instructions regarding entry need updating. Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

PARADISE NORTH: LOG HOME CABIN IN BRAINERD, MN

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (50)
"We had an amazing stay in Brainerd! The cabin looks exactly like it does in photographs. There was a nice view of the lake too (especially since there were no leaves on the trees in late March). We had 3 people but there was definitely room for more! Lots of places to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. "

Gull Lake Private 2nd-Floor 2-Bedroom Unit with Patio, Boat Dock, and Garage (Un

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (9)
"The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood and right on the lake. The unit was fairly clean except the random trash hidden in the couch cushions and the occasional hair tie that was found in the bathroom or next to the bed. The sheets and towels were clean and the kitchen was as well. It had everything we needed. It was nice to have accessed to a washer and dryer and a garage to store some of fishing stuff. We were sucked on the lake but oh well we were able to get to other lakes within a...

"Property was perfect for our group. 5 minutes from raceway. Close to all town stores. Beds where comfy. Kitchen had everything you need to make meals. No wifi for your phones. But tv was connected to it, which helped on those rainy days. Overall, I would stay here again."

One of the few Pet-Friendly accommodations in Brainerd - Love Lake Hacienda

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (20)
"The home is an older home that shows some wear and age but the Spanish style is very charming. We rented the home for a winter retreat so we weren't interested in the outside areas. We liked that the home has plenty of seating in the living room. Unfortunately, we never could get the fireplace to work even after following the instructions in the house binder Not a big deal but it would have added to our ambience. The beds and pillows were all comfortable and felt fresh and clean. One bathroom...

"Would be an amazing place to stay in the summer. The guest house is very cold in winter- had to sleep on the couch in the main house it was so cold (so I'd not plan on those two extra bedrooms / 1 bathroom in the winter time for space.) Fabulous place for summer, however. "

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

3.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (973)
"We got there and the lobby was full of people waiting for their rooms to be ready. They didn't know which rooms were clean. We weren't able to go into our room for 30 minutes after check in. The picture online of our room that we booked off of showed a jetted tub. It had a regular tub. The room itself was nice. We could hear the people in the neighboring room speaking and when the baby started crying, it was quite loud. Parking was convenient. Breakfast was good although the waffle maker...

"Great property - we came in during the off season, but even so this place was so great. Peaceful, quiet rooms, easy to follow maps are provided at check in. The place is old school, like Dirty Dancing resort vibes and grandma chic carpet in the hall, but the rooms were updated. We loved our private patio for coffee in the morning and our cozy fireplace for relaxing. There are minor things around the property that probably should be fixed (damaged siding, pealing stain on decks, rough parking...
