This is a convenient location for activities in the Nisswa Minnesota area. We were in town for a…read morewedding and this was a great location for getting to all the events we needed to photograph. The value for the cost per night is not as good as it could be. Rooms are small, beds in ours felt like a hide-a-bed with the single mattress and metal frame. Bathroom was functional but really small. Our window air conditioner did not work the first night and there was no one available to assist us until the next day. They did get it fixed but the first night was hot and humid. I would probably seek different accommodations if we were in the area again.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend so we could spend time on the Cuyuna trails. Our…read moreexperience surpassed our expectations. Every minute detail was thought of by these owners. Even though the shower and toilet stalls were further away and we had a little hill to climb with our bikes, we didn't mind. I made my first French press coffee which was provided and I loved it. The lighting, the ambiance, the amenities were next level. My friends all commented that it looked like we're staying in a fairy garden and that was exactly how it felt. Beds were very comfortable. Ample plug ins for electrical devices which is pretty rare. The one and only thing I would say that is even close to negative is that the front door was difficult to lock which was a minor annoyance that we eventually figured out. All in all I HIGHLY recommend this resort. My husband has already suggested we book another weekend in a month or two? Do they have a frequent visitor discount?? Lol...we will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely slice of heaven with us

Upon arriving to Cuyuna Cove, within a matter of minutes we were asked to leave. When we booked…read moreour reservations ~ 8 months in advance, you were able to select the number of adults and number of children. What we didn't realize was that children, in fact, were not allowed to stay. After abruptly being made aware of this quite important little detail, the owner referred me to their "FAQ" section under the heading, "Is Cuyuna Cove right for me?" She actually expects guests to sift through over 20 FAQs just to find a buried notation that children are "not suitable." You can imagine how devastated we all were, especially our two young children. What's worse is that she, at first, wouldn't offer any refund and even suggested we book another local rental. We've already lost $1,000 and now you have the audacity to recommend forking up another several hundred dollars so we can enjoy a weekend we've planned for months?? We ended up having to turn around and drive the 3 hours back home. No hiking, no biking, no restaurants. For a locally owned business, we are appalled at the utter lack of compassion and understanding.

A friend and I stayed here for a weekend and would likely stay again. It's a small old-school…read moreresort with many personal touches. The property is the biggest draw. Level land and cabins steps from the lake make the water easily accessible. It's a a cove on Gull Lake so a bit protected from the really busy boat traffic (there still is traffic- just not as much as on the main partnof the lake). Beautiful spot to watch the sunset from. We stayed in Cabin 1 which is actually a trailer with an attached screen porch. Tiny but enough space for 2. Lots of cute, personalized touches like a chalkboard greeting us by name and some fresh cookies on the table. The only problem was that it was a very humid weekend and the wall air conditioner in the living room just didn't help the bedrooms. Kayaks are free to take out, which I loved! The calm water in the cove plus rhe nearby channels are perfect for kayking. Staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. You need to bring your own towels and soap for the shower. This isn't a big resort so no restaurant or anything like that on-site. Not much of a beach so I don't think I'd bring small children. More for adults who want to relax and maybe boat.

Just back from our second stay here and definitely will return. This is a lovely place with…read moreexcellent lake access and convenience to Nisswa, Brainerd, etc. The cabins are small but comfy and generally well-equipped. It is perfect for an extended family trip where you want family togetherness but also some space of your own. Yes, I would love it if the showers were bigger and I could do laundry while I was there, but you know what, you can't have everything, and sitting on the screened in porch with my coffee and a book in the morning and canoeing in the afternoon or playing on the little beach makes it all worthwhile. Sue and staff do a wonderful job here and there's a good reason they are often booked months in advance.

At booking she assigned me a room number and a door code. We didn't arrive until late, about 10pm. So we let ourselves in and got settled. We were happy to find a very clean room with all the amenities you could want. A varied assortment of teas and coffee. A comfortable bed. A tv equipped with Roku for all of your streaming needs. WiFi access. A hot shower (after you gave it a few minutes to warm up). All of the fluffy towels you would need (1 floor mat, 4 bath, 4-5 hand towels, 4-5 wash cloths). Also had divine smelling amenities (2 shampoo, 2 conditioner, 2 body wash, 1 hand soap bar, and 1 skincare bar). It was a super cozy room, and I would happily stay/ vacation here again. I can't recommend these accommodations enough. We paid $142.84 and it was well worth it.

The host couple is wonderfully hospitable, welcoming, and charming. The house is a beautiful and spotlessly clean farmhouse with everything you could need. There are three guest rooms in the main house and one other couple was staying there when we were. We didn't hear a peep from them other than on the stairs, so there was very nice privacy. The Haven Room has one of the best showers I've had in a long time! Most importantly, the breakfast was over-the-top wonderful. Great conversation and delicious food, graciously accommodating one vegetarian and three meat-eaters! The hosts also gave great recommendations for hanging out in nearby towns, and the drive to several nice restaurants was pleasant and only 10 min away or so. We certainly hope to come back and heartily recommend this B and B!

The owners were so cool at one point, but were also very focused on selling and renting out property...they were sort of "fake friendly" I suppose.

I came up to Deerwood to some fishing and wanted a cheap place to stay. They had parking for my boat and a place to plug in my boat to charge my electronics.

The room has everything you normally have in a hotel room: TV, microwave, refrigerator, table etc. A neat amenity this hotel does have is a fish cleaning shed. I would definitely come back. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it is a old hotel.
