"We had a very peaceful, serene stay. The pan fishing from the dock was great and the sunsets were amazing. The grounds outside would benefit from trimming overgrownn shrubs and irradicating poison ivy. We'd be concerned about the poison ivy if we had children or a dog with us. The management was friendly and helpful. We were concerned about access as it is not easily accessable for loading and unloading and were allowed to get closer to do so."

10/10 Excellent

"Good experience. Helpful staff, clean and well prepared."

Nature Link Resort

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Stay at NatureLink Resort! We recently stayed at NatureLink Resort in the Brainerd Lakes/Nisswa area and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the communication with the team was outstanding. They were super friendly, responsive and genuinely accommodating. The resort itself is stunning. The grounds and facilities are immaculate, with a chic, modern aesthetic seamlessly blended into a beautiful natural lakeside setting. Our cabin was gorgeous, spacious, thoughtfully designed and offered breathtaking lake views. It felt both luxurious and cozy at the same time. Every detail was top-notch and we honestly cannot think of a single downside. If you are looking for a unique, high-quality stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, we cannot recommend NatureLink Resort enough. We will definitely be back!"

"This is our second time staying here and we will be coming back every year! We come to watch my best friend and her husband race at Brainerd International. The only complaint was when we went down for breakfast, we still had about 10 minutes before it ended but they were cleaning it out and unplugged the waffle maker in the middle of making a waffle, they took the syrup and utensils away while it was clear we were still getting our breakfast. Other than that, it was perfect!! "
