Cragun's Resort & Hotel

3.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (290)
"Great property - we came in during the off season, but even so this place was so great. Peaceful, quiet rooms, easy to follow maps are provided at check in. The place is old school, like Dirty Dancing resort vibes and grandma chic carpet in the hall, but the rooms were updated. We loved our private patio for coffee in the morning and our cozy fireplace for relaxing. There are minor things around the property that probably should be fixed (damaged siding, pealing stain on decks, rough parking...

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

2.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (931)
"I think the property was nice. The staff was friendly. I felt the room was a little dirty, bathroom door had dry water marks running down, the edging on the walls could use a little vacuuming around the room. The beds were not that comfortable for my husband and I, kids slept fine. I wish the bathroom sink had more area to store your belongings, it mainly was the sink with about 2 inches around it. There was no place to hang your hand towel or set it without it falling in sink from the kids. I...

"What a great way to spend a beautiful fall weekend! Beautiful location on a quiet lake with great views! The house was stocked with the little things that make a stay easier; coffee, coloring books for kids, outdoor games, fire wood, etc. The hosts were incredibly communicative and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay! Highly recommend!"

Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"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...
