"We rented this cabin for a week, because my family needed a quiet place to stay during and after the death and funeral of my father. The problems were: 1. No instructions were given beforehand on how to access the cabin, so I had to call Vrbo, who had to call the owner, who forgot I was checking in that day. 2. There was only a small window air conditioner unit in one bedroom, but the rest of the house was sitting at 84 degrees! Placed another call to Vrbo, who called the owner of the...

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

8/10 Good

"The room was really clean"

Pet Friendly-Secluded-Fire Pit-300mbps internet

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is in a lovely setting surrounded by woods. It's been nicely renovated on the inside, and we enjoyed sitting outside as well. One caveat is that you should only plan on using the loft if you're comfortable with ladders and don't mind only a few feet of head room."

Cozy Rice Lake Cabin w Balcony, Grill & Views

10/10 Excellent

"The host was outstanding in communication and checking in on us. It’s a cute little cottage very close to the water. It served as a nice homebase for us. During the few days we were in Brainerd. The beds were comfortable. The views from the cottage were gorgeous."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for a quiet get away. The dock is set up really nice for kids to be able to get in and out of the lake and the kayaks and paddleboards that they suppy were very fun. Lots of room for kids to run and play in the front and back of the house."

Brainerd Lakes Cabin Get Away? Yes Please!

10/10 Excellent

"The property was even better than expected and in 10 years of renting a family summer cabin at various VRBO’s , the host was the best by far. Best communication, best check in /check out instructions and timely responses. The layout worked well for our multi generational family( keep in mind there are stairs up and down /split level if anyone I. Your party can’t do stairs) , having 3 bathrooms was a huge plus, beds were comfortable and very well stocked kitchen. We usually bring water toys, life jackets, tubes, etc and this year they never left the car because they supplied everything !!! The close fire pit was a great benefit and the sandy beach ( along with even sand toys!) was great for the kids. The lake was extremely low so unfortunately no swimming but the fishing was excellent and the 3 kayaks was great fun. Highly recommend the property!"
