Vacation Rentals in Brainerd

Pontoon Rental, Great Fishing, Guest House, Swimming off of Dock, & More!

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"Would be an amazing place to stay in the summer. The guest house is very cold in winter- had to sleep on the couch in the main house it was so cold (so I'd not plan on those two extra bedrooms / 1 bathroom in the winter time for space.) Fabulous place for summer, however. "

Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (43)
"The home was lovely. A little disconcerting to have any traps on the kitchen counter though. Tried to contact owner for departure instructions and they never answered so we just did what most vrbo renters have asked. Also, instructions regarding entry need updating. Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

Great location too to Crosby and Brainerd. "

Gull Lake Private 2nd-Floor 2-Bedroom Unit with Patio, Boat Dock, and Garage (Un

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (7)
"I was in town for a week for work. The location was perfect, I could bring my dog, the host was polite and quick to respond to questions. Accuracy of listing was a 3 only because it sleeps 4 but there are only 3 kitchen chairs and one bowl for eating in the kitchen; it worked for me but may be an issue for a group of 4. The couch desperately needs to be replaced but is usable. I would stay here again."

"We came from Bemidji and met our family that lives in the Twin Cities for a great weekend away. It was a perfect location for us all. We watched our daughter at a dance competition then spent the rest of the weekend hanging out spending time together. The house was large and inviting, giving us enough space to all feel comfortable, yet with a warm and cozy feeling. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful experience and stay. Before we left, we all agreed...

"This place was awesome and had all the amenities described. The view of the lake was gorgeous and was within steps of the patio door. We appreciated the hot tub and enjoyed it immensely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need to cook with. We also enjoyed the game room. The communication with the owner went smoothly and was fast. We will be back!"

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (9)
"The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood and right on the lake. The unit was fairly clean except the random trash hidden in the couch cushions and the occasional hair tie that was found in the bathroom or next to the bed. The sheets and towels were clean and the kitchen was as well. It had everything we needed. It was nice to have accessed to a washer and dryer and a garage to store some of fishing stuff. We were sucked on the lake but oh well we were able to get to other lakes within a...

"My long-time friend (60+ years) and I wanted a getaway to go fish for a week. This rental was great for the two of us - two bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, a stackable washer/dryer, reliable wifi and a smart TV. We were able to fish six different lakes in the week and brought two coolers of fish home. Host was quick to respond to any questions and email. If you're looking for high priced luxuries, this isn't it. But if you want a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay for the week or...
