Top Hartley Lake Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay loads of fun!"

Love Lake - Gull Lake Chain | Entertain | Firepit

8/10 Good

"Host was very easy to communicate with and provided clear instructions for check-in and out. Home was very spacious in a nice area. Lake use requires a boat, unable to swim or fish from the property. Although backyard is small with uneven terrain, the firepit area is very nice. Front yard can be used for croquet, cornhole, or small bocce area. Basement of home has a nice bar area with a large table for games, foosball table and plenty of seating with multiple TVs. Beautiful sunrises from both upper deck and lower patio. If staying for multiple days and planning to eat leftovers, bring storage containers or bags as well as condiments and spices needed for cooking."

Private Beach: Lakefront Escape in Brainerd!

8/10 Good

"."

Cozy cabin steps from the lake!

8/10 Good

"The cabin was perfect for my husband and I. We brought our fishing boat and bicycles and were able to utilize both. The cabin itself was very cute and clean. The location on north long Lake was perfect."

Beautiful lakeside 2 Bedroom cabin on private lake (Cabin#4)

8/10 Good

"The view was amazing. Having a private dock and beach was nice. Fishing was better than expected. Accommodations I just say were standard. Not having a working shower very disappointing. Check in was a breeze. Communication with the camp host or manager of the site was very difficult. Reached out twice by text and never receive a response. Instructions to get in touch we're not clear. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would go back as long as the shower was working."

Lakefront Home on 17 Acres: 9 Mi to Dtwn Brainerd!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second year staying at this property and we enjoyed it so much! Our group is already talking about “when we go back next year”! Great location, excellent communication and so many amenities. We cooked all of our meals at the home. We made much use of the outdoor seating. Although the lake is small, boat rides were relaxing and a highlight of our vacation. There are plenty of beds. And the home is in great condition. We’ve stayed at many vacation homes, and this one has quickly climbed to the top of our list!"

Duplex on North Long Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice house to stay at. Excellent location near BIR. It had all the amenities we needed for our home away from home."

10/10 Excellent
