Overall the stay was well, there were a few things that were falling apart on us on site, they sent a handy man got it taken care of but might be something to be just aware of if you have younger kids, the place is a bit older. Also the number of rooms and beds was nice for a large group, however take in account there is only 1 bathroom

Sisters Weekend

We planned this getaway in the area to enjoy the full Fall color peak in Nisswa. This was a glorious weekend full of vibrate and beautiful colors. The neighborhood was so calm and quiet. We enjoyed plenty of walks in the neighborhoods. The house had so much more space than we anticipated. And there was nothing lacking in the kitchen! It was wonderful!

I grew up enjoying the Brainerd Lakes area's many amenities: local wildlife, fishing, hunting, biking, skiing, and more. Growing up in the Brainerd Lakes Area leaves me with many fond memories. We love to take the grandkids to the mini golf in town. We also enjoy going to the many thrift and antique shops. Fishing and Hunting have also been a large part of my family's activities.
