Top The Lakes Hotel Reviews

Grand Casino Mille Lacs

10/10 Excellent

"This is our happy place away from home! Everything is very clean, great food & drinks, and good selection of new games! We love all of the fun promotions... keeps us coming back almost monthly when we can 😊"

Cozy Lakefront Cabin w/ Sandy Beach & Bunkhouse!

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for a week in late July 2026. This cabin is even better than the pictures. It’s obvious the owners take a lot of pride in the ownership of the cabin. It is very clean and has all the extras with all the comforts of home . The owner was very responsive as well. We brought our small fishing boat and my husband fished for hours every day. He loved just walking out of the cabin straight to the boat. This end of Crooked Lake is very quiet and exactly what we wanted. The driveway is tricky and no you cannot navigate it with a connected trailer. There is also no place to park it at the cabin. We left the trailer at the boat launch for a week with no issues. The only challenge we had all week was the bathroom. It’s small and we are both tall. The shower head and bathroom mirror are both set up for people under 5 ‘ 7”. It gave us both a good daily laugh. We will certainly stay here again!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is soo nice. We loved it!!! A full sz bathtub. We were catching fish, from the dock! It was very peaceful. It was very well stocked, with everything we needed. The decor is very nice. Time was taken to make everything so nice, for our stay. We will definitely be back"

Private Retreat on 33 Acres with 1400 ft Lakeshore

8/10 Good

"Great property! We really enjoyed the hot tub looking at the lake. Very private property with no visible neighbors. There were stand up boards and a paddle boat to use. The wifi and cell service were pretty spotty, but overall would recommend!"

PARADISE NORTH: LOG HOME CABIN IN BRAINERD, MN

8/10 Good

"Beautiful cabin that was perfect for my family. Accommodations were clean and modern. The hot tub and backyard were great for evenings together! Proximity to Paradise Resort made for a fun atmosphere. Cabin is not right on the beach so be prepared to seek out public beaches if you want to enjoy more swimming time. Whipple Beach in Brainerd was excellent!"
