Independent Brainerd hotels

"Our family was in Cross Lake for a funeral this weekend. Several family members stayed at Manhattan Beach. It was perfect for us. The food was great and the staff were all awesome! This is a traditional family resort, so not super fancy but clean and beds very comfortable. It was quiet this weekend, so we kinda had the place to ourselves. Such a great location that I'm sure it is jumping in the summertime. Would definitely stay again."

"Had booked wrong days by accident,/with Expedia. They were full on Regular rooms. But kind as they are the gave us a deal. and put us in a Cottage for $50.00 for the two nights. Way out of their way to get us a room for two nights, I was upgrade to a cottage, 3 bedrooms ,fireplace, and 2 levels. Way to generous, They said they were MN nice, and go out of their way to please."

"The rooms are beautiful and the location is quiet. The cleanliness of the room could use some work, but overall , would recommend"

"Great."

"Was a very nice stay. Beautiful property! Great rooms. Deb was an amazing waitress with great service and fun personality! "

"The water park is great for small and older kids. Plus they put a foam type of floor down so its really nice to walk on. Would definately go back!"

"CUTE, RUSTIC AND lodge like. The rooms are simple..but have everyting you need. Bed was comforable..pillows were a bit flat but they give you two so that's nice. Staff was great.. we needed to leave early due to weather and they refunded the last night. Coffee pot in room. You can cook waffles if you want for breakfast. Pool was being repaired but looks nice. Saw 4 deer run through the property one morning. Walking distance to town square..near some very good restaurants..try the Walleye...

"Love updates that have been done!"

"The “cabins” are spacious. Kids enjoyed the waterpark."

"Close to basketball tournament. There were people in the hallways drunk in the middle of the night but nothing was done about it. It disturbed our families sleeping "
