Rapid River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience for two families with 2 young kiddos - breakfast and a water park made mornings easier!"

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"We enjoy our stays at Baymont when we are in Baxter. Staff is very accommodating. And friendly. Lovely setting. Only downfall is Springtails during summer month. But since I now know they are harmless not a deal breaker. We stay here at least 3-4 times a year."

Pet Friendly-Secluded-Fire Pit-300mbps internet

10/10 Excellent

"This place was a gem. We brought our dogs and walked them every day down the quiet dirt road. Perfect for dogs as the floors are stained cement and easy to sweep. There was a grill to use and a fire pit. Internet is a little spotty. However, I used my phone to connect. Also super private. We would stay again."

Sandy Shallows on North Long Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The property has everything you need to relax & have an enjoyable time. There is everything you need to enjoy the water by day and a fire pit to enjoy the evenings by.There is enough indoor & outdoor seating to accomodate your whole group eating meals together.The host Derek is very attentive to all your questions and request. One of our vehicle had problems on the way up & we reached out to him for help once we got there. He gave us a few local recommendations & followed up with us. We were in town for a wedding that had many events planned, our only regret was we did not have more tme to spend at the property. It is has everything up would need to relax and unwind. We stayed during the summer, but would imagine the proerty would be beautiful & acommodating year round."
