We stayed at the Lodge over Easter weekend. It was not very busy at all so that was actually kind of nice. Loved the room. Got the 2 queen suite with separate living area - an absolute must with kids. We also had a patio which was nice. The hotel was quiet and we had no issues except the waterpark.... more

My son won a 2 night stay at the hotel from his school. In trying to find the hotel, I called when we were up in the area and put on hold for 10 minutes (just enough time to miss the exit and had to back track) Upon arrival at the hotel, we went to the Arcade. It is a... more

Hotel rooms are very comfortable but have terrible lighting over the vanity in the bathroom. Pretty pricy rooms for what you do get. The waterpark is nice - small - probably best for younger children. Only two tube rides and a very short lazy river. Bonus is the hot tub which is indoor/outdoor. Great feature. Our biggest issue was the... more

The waterpark was a lot of fun. They do not allow you to bring in your own food/drinks, but they have an area where you can purchase these things. The lifeguards were very friendly (much better than the competition down the road) and the pool areas very clean. The hotel was another story. We paid extra for a patio room,... more

My sister and I had a girls night out in August. We stayed at The Lodge in Baxter/Brainerd. They have an awesome waterpark that you are allowed to drink beer in. Most places frown on that. They have an inside/outside hot tub. Our room was very nice and outdoorsy. There was two tvs in our room. One by the two... more

The water park was fun, but the room was below average. We had the loft suite, which had a bed, bathroom and sitting room on main level and two queen beds on 'loft' level. Trying to keep the temperature controlled in the room was impossible because it was cold on the main level and HOT on the loft level. (At... more

We stayed the first night across the street at the Holiday Inn Express, and thought we'd try this one the next night. It was a nice place, fun for the kids - waterpark and game room were nice. My 6 year old son loved the outdoor hot tub feature! The rooms were a bit dark - my husband didn't like... more

We booked three rooms for the week of the 4th of July. We booked well in advance, and were pleasantly surprised to receive an e-mail from the hotel letting us know there was a special 4th of July package that became available after we had booked. We happily changed to the special package, which gave us some cool freebies in... more

While on the surface everything looks nice, and yes the water park was fun, we had the two worst nights of sleep that we've ever had in any hotel. The rooms are not even close to being sound proofed. The water running or draining from other rooms sounded amplified. We could hear every word being said in the hallways. The... more
