10/10 Excellent

"Clean Family friendly place comfortable Beds. Great fishing lake."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and excellent home."

The Lakeside On North Long

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 14 loved this house and all the amenities! The lake was very low which allowed the grandkids to wade out really far. The kayaks and paddle board were good quality and used a lot! The lower level game area and wet bar were also point on. Beautiful landscaping and outdoor areas as well. Looking forward to our next time there!"

Silver Lake Swimming and More

10/10 Excellent

"very clean and well maintained"

Heaven on Lake Edward

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was great, cozy, 9/10. Check in process was great smoothly 10/10. Communication was wonderful 10/10. Boat- the water was a little to shallow but the boat was excellent. Had to jump out in the water to help guide it out. The lift station was easy to work. Convenient to have soap and towels for everyone. A few soft spots in the floors but overall our experience was 10/10 and would come back. Our kids had a blast!!!! We caught lots of fish! Hosts gave some guides of some good fishing spots that were helpful! Thank you for having us! Memories were definitely made!"

Cozy cabin with 100 ft of lake shore in the heart of the brainerd lakes area!

8/10 Good

"Host is wonderful and responds quickly. We enjoyed the patio and lake even though it is very shallow at this property. My only concern is the cleanliness inside the house. Floors and countertops were fine but it really needs a good cleaning, including moving furniture, and basic maintenance such as caulking. But we still had a great time!"

Shoreview On North Long

10/10 Excellent

"Houses were very clean! Had issue with airConditioner in small house not working. Contacted host & he brought a new one within hours. This happened on a Sunday, we were very grateful as we had a very hot week. Would stay again!"

Tiny Home-A Frame-Sauna-Cold Plunge-Fire Pit-Seclusion

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to retreat to the woods. It's not on North Long Lake but it is near the Paul Bunyon Trail and between Brainerd and Nisswa. The space was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked and had what we needed to make meals. The host did a great job communicating and responding to any questions. Would stay here again."
