"Wonderful little house. Actually not that little! You could put an air mattress in the living room easily. Everything was top-notch. Super clean, super quiet, very pretty area. Excellent communication with hosts. Very well stocked with everything you could need, and lots of little extras like sandwich bags and coffee! Lots of thoughtful little touches like a phone plug in the kitchen. Nice cozy electric fireplace in the living room. I could easily stay here for a month. Hope to return next...

"Buyer Beware- This host forced me to spend the night in a 100 degree cabin with no AC and although it wasn't listed as an amenity the host never replied to the question of "Is there AC?" Upon arrival and discovering the lack of any cooling capacity on the hottest day of the year the host denied the refund request. Combine this with the complete lack of WIFI (Advertised amenity) and you have the longest inferno of a night imaginable. Do not rent this place in the summer and be sure to consider...

Garrison Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my three-day stay at the Garrison Hotel. My room was very nice. Large, with 2 queen beds and nice pillows, modern lighting, large bathroom with a big lighted mirror, nice TV with a large selection of channels, and a big residential refrigerator plus a small one by the bathroom. Check in was quick and easy, lobby was clean and modern. They had a breakfast on the weekend although this time I didn't try it. There is also a nice indoor pool, but again I didn't try it out. All doors had a scan to unlock device that worked. If I had one complaint it would be that there was no microwave in my room, easy fix if management decides to correct this."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"

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."

Lakeside Sand Beach House on 3 Acres of fun Near Nisswa and Cross Lake.

10/10 Excellent

"The house is located in a beautiful setting, close to the lake and surrounded by trees. The house has plenty of room for a very large gathering with abundant beds and bathrooms. The hot tub (or sauna) is a perfect place to relax after a day of fishing or hiking. The bunk house/game room is the perfect place to go have fun on a rainy day. Mark and Andria are wonderful and very responsive hosts. Our entire family enjoyed our stay."
