Top Horseshoe Lake Hotel Reviews

Relaxing retreat on Rice Lake! Quiet lake views w/full deck, fire pit, & hot tub

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here! The house was clean and impeccably maintained, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the hot tub was excellent. The hosts were lovely and very easy to communicate with. 5 all around!"

Rice Lake Lodge and Cabin with Dock Fire Pit Views

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed over MEA weekend this year. One of my daughter B-day as well... she brought up a couple friends and the Boathouse was perfect for them.. what a great spot overlooking the water! Plenty of room, clean and comfortable.. Thanks!"

The Lakeside On North Long

10/10 Excellent

"This property was absolutely beautiful. The communication with the host was very good. We needed to text him a couple of things and the response was immediate! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you would ever need. Everything was clearly labeled so there no question what it was used for. From the remotes to all of the light switches. The outside was just as beautiful as the inside. Very nice landscaping and beautiful views. Had a eagle fly by a couple times to tell us hello. If you are looking for a great place to take your family, this is it!!"

Cozy Rice Lake Cabin w Balcony, Grill & Views

10/10 Excellent

"This rental is perfect for a romantic getaway. The views of the lake are stunning! We enjoyed our stay and are highly likely to return."

Cabin on Rice Lake access to Mississippi River 1 bedroom/1 bath sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is cozy. Not sterile feeling, but a "lived-in" feel is probably the best way to describe it. It was clean. The queen bed was quite nice. It's got a memory foam feel to it and my wife and I slept on it comfortably. We are used to a select number bed at home, so I was surprised at how nice we did sleep. The best part of this cabin is the view. Absolutely wonderful. I would say the only down side is the random noise disrupting the quietness. Neighbor's dog barking, Brainerd's train at 0600, and artillery impact concussions from Camp Ripley at random. Obviously these things are out of the owners control and by all means, don't plan your trip around noise. I basically have nothing bad to say so that's my only complaint. We would highly recommend."

Cozy cabin 25ft off the water! Near shopping, Restaurants, Attractions & Golf!

10/10 Excellent

"The place was very nice. Great location, great views. It was cozy and comfortable. Very enjoyable stay."

Pet Friendly-Secluded-Fire Pit-300mbps internet

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable. A really nice place to stay for a Brainerd getaway."

Merrifield Vacation Rental w/ Dock & River Access

10/10 Excellent

"We just enjoyed the private, secluded, and beautiful surroundings. There was plenty of space between other properties which gave us the luxury of moving around without being noticed. We appreciated all the large windows which truly enhanced our views of the outdoors."

Serenity On Rice Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean. We had one issue that was our own fault and Mike took care of it for us . Young grandson's caught some fish off the docks and were very happy."
