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

10/10 Excellent
"My family got together for an early Christmas. There was room for everyone. The grandkids ranged from 3-23. There was something for each age group, as well as for adults. This place would be fantastic during the summer on the lake! The hosts were also fantastic and was quick to respond to questions. "
