This is a nicely remodeled property, very comfortable and well equipped. It was quiet at the "resort" so we had the ability to use the shared fire pit and other shared areas.
Stayed here for 4 nights with spouse and 3 family members. Nice clean cute cabin. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Fishing was productive and the lake is very clean. The only drawback was being so close to BIR and the loudness during the races or practice or whatever they were doing. But since we were on the water or exploring the area we didn't hear too much of it. But in spite of that we totally enjoyed it!
This is the first time we ever rented this property. I grew up on North Long Lake, actually on Birchdale Rd. The cabin was immaculate and any questions we had were promptly answered. The cabin is fully stocked with everything you need. Literally walk in and unpack. Having a washer/dryer is especially helpful. The lake is absolutely gorgeous, soft sandy bottom, great for kids to swim. We definitely will rent this gem again!!! Thanks again for the wonderful stay.
My long-time friend (60+ years) and I wanted a getaway to go fish for a week. This rental was great for the two of us - two bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, a stackable washer/dryer, reliable wifi and a smart TV. We were able to fish six different lakes in the week and brought two coolers of fish home. Host was quick to respond to any questions and email. If you're looking for high priced luxuries, this isn't it. But if you want a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay for the week or weekend, this is a 5 star gem!!
House is in a great location for water access and to get to town for food. It was quiet and peaceful. The customer service of Mike was above and beyond, he was always available! The house was clean and the beds were comfortable!
We stayed for our summer family vacation. We appreciated the modern cabin and being right on the lake. The lake was amazing… it was shallow and clear with a sandy bottom for a long ways out, our kids loved it! We do wish there had been a usable boat access closer by and bumpers on the dock so we could keep our boat tied up overnight. Management was quick to respond to the small issue we had and addressed our concerns right away.
Was a great little cabin. I have a 20’ boat and had no issues with parking and having a plug in for boat power. Grill was there which we took advantage of every night we were there. Super nice swimming area with it being mostly sand for a long ways out! Great views, great location.
Mike was an excellent host. He called to welcome us before we arrived and responded immediately when we had a question. The property was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Don’t miss sunrise over the lake and make time for an afternoon in Nisswa.
Nice cabin and clean. Decent view of the lake. If you want to fish the lake it's really nice to have a dock for the boat and a short walk to it. Just be sure to use the nice boat ramp on 371 and NOT the one closest to the cabin. Trust me on this one! Would definitely consider staying here again.
Perfect location for Brainerd's many golf courses. Early May beat the summer rush and the accomodations were fine. The cable service was less than satisfactory. Otherwise, everything else was great.
We loved our stay at this lovely cabin. It was completely updated and stocked with everything we needed down to the shampoo and dish soap. It was also SO clean!!!
It was perfectly located close to everything and the lake was beautiful for relaxing with our paddle boards and kayaks. Mike was great to communicate with and checked in with us to make sure we had an easy check in and good stay. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to returning in the future.
The cabin was in great shape and was decorated/outfitted really nice! We got there later in the evening and the area was not lit up. In the dark and it wasn't obvious which cabin was ours at first. There are a handful of cabins that made up a resort at one time. Our host was easy to reach and walked me through getting to the cabin and getting checked in. Was located very close to Baxter which made grabbing supplies simple. We had a great stay and would look to stay here again in the future!
This little cabin was just perfect for a few days to relax with family. The clean, modern interior was just the thing after spending time exploring Brainerd Lakes and at the beach.

Very cute cabin tastefully decorated and supplied with everything you need. Sitting on the deck with a beautiful view of the lake was very pleasant. The lake level was down so beach was very shallow and wasn’t great for swimming when we were there, but many other beaches and water parks close by to enjoy. Convenient location to both Nisswa and Brainerd and tons of restaurants and so many things to do.
We had a great week with our family. The cabin was very clean, recently updated, and included everything that was listed. It was very nice to have a washer and dryer also. The cabin size was good for the six of us. We enjoyed our time spent on the lake and being in the Brainerd area. Communication with the manager was excellent and he made sure everything was perfect. We would definitely come back.
