Top Paul Bunyan Land Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The Lodge is 20 years old and it looks that old BUT it is very well maintained. The oly issue I had was that the bed mattresses were old and squeaky. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The water park was so fun! We will stay again the next time we are in Baxter."

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. Better than I expected. Very clean , I would for sure go back again."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"

LOG CABIN w/ HOT TUB in BRAINERD - PARADISE NORTH

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was perfect for me and two 13 yo boys. They loved the loft setup and hot tub. After spending the day fishing and hiking in the Brainerd Lakes area, it was nice to eat at the local restaurant and relax on the comfy furniture."

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfy beds"

Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, but clean. Convenient location, even with construction. Beds were rather soft and breakfast was OK."

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

"Fantastic little lake cabin! The kayaks were a fantastic touch, I enjoyed them so much! Communication was also A, other places Ive had to wait hours to hear back. I would 100% stay here again!"
