Top Red Sand Lake Hotel Reviews

Nature Link Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Super dog friendly. Beautiful clean property that feels more like a wellness retreat. We stayed in a king suite which is above the main building. Rooms were super nice with a huge deck! They have a sauna and a beach, although the water wasnt very clean. Complimentary bikes, kayaks, canoe and paddleboard that you can take anytime. Beautiful fire rings on the beach with all the supplies you need to start it. They have a small store but not really any food options so buy snacks somewhere else."

Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities with restaurant and bar, live bands, free kayak and SUP boards. Pool and hot tub were awesome! Room was very nice with kitchenette but we noticed it needed vacuuming and cleaning do ceilings fans and bathroom vent. We were on first floor but friends were on third floor, deck was hug e any awesome as well!"

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

8/10 Good

"For the most part all okay...was quiet, breakfast good, and room was clean. but only 1 key available per room? toilet ran nonstop TV options limited"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

8/10 Good

"Have stayed at tishotel many, many times with my family. Extremely convenient location-although it can be a it noisy with traffic on 371, and Menards on some mornings. I do not hesitate to recommend it. If they keep the summer up-to-the-lake price around $150.00 its a great value."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved our room. Very spacious and awesome comfy chairs. Didn’t realize our small balcony was literally beside a high traffic roadway with cars and walking guests. Also beach area was very nice however the water wasn’t very clean and the bottom was sludgy."

Good Ol' Days Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Good Ol' Days resort! Kids wanted to stay longer and come back! The location was superb, with short walk or bike ride to town and right on the Paul Bunyan trail. The water was also so clear on Lower Cullen. Beautiful place and stay!"

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Great hotel would stay again"

Lost Lake Lodge

8/10 Good

"I loved how quiet it was for the first three days; the last night was very loud and rather busy. I was a little disappointed in the amenities. The bikes were unusable and rusty, and the games were clearly very old and not complete. The blinds in our rooms were also all broken which made sleeping in impossible."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean motel with an amazing breakfast 😁 not one thing was missing from my breakfast selection during my stay."
