Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and kind"

Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, but clean. Convenient location, even with construction. Beds were rather soft and breakfast was OK."

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."

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

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely VRBO. The description and pictures do not do it justice.Thank you for sharing your home with us."

5 BR, Movie Theater, Game Room, Swimming Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This house fit our family. We had 10 adults and 3 children. We loved the game room in the garage. Two of the children were 11 year old girls and they had a blast singing along to videos in the theater.. We are checking schedules for next year and would like to stay here again."
