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

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing and the getaway I needed. It had everything a person could think of from the kitchen, to water fun, to kid toys, they even had sleds in case you're there in the winter time, and firewood. My family is already asking me to book another stay."

Pet Friendly-Secluded-Fire Pit-300mbps internet

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding experience. We arrived a little early and Ben was able to coordinate an early checkin with prompt communication. Much appreciated. Beautiful interior with great design and layout. Very clean. Comfortable beds and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed. Excellent location and private. Loved the outdoor firepit and saw a few deer! Overall a wonderful visit!"

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!"
