As you know by now, we'll be getting married in one of our favorite MN destinations, the Brainerd Lakes area! Due to this being a popular destination in the summer, we recommend you book your stays ASAP to ensure you'll be covered for next summer! Please feel free to reach out to Sam if you have any questions that aren't answered below or by talking to the different resorts/hotels in the area.

Hotel

Madden's On Gull Lake

11266 Pine Beach Peninsula, Brainerd, MN 56401
 

This is where Tom and Sam will be staying for the long weekend. We will also have the transportation to and from Madden's and the wedding venue the day of the wedding. Madden's has so much to offer and is right on Gull Lake. You can golf, relax on the beach or by the pool, and there are lots of restaurant options on the resort and close by! We do have a room block here that is being held until December. Sadly, there is no discount, so either book online (with link below) or call to be put in the room block. https://www.maddens.com/moulton-menzzi-wedding-room-block/ (Note: there is a 3 night minimum stay, unless they have rooms with only 2 night's availability)

Hotel

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

15058 Dellwood Drive North, Baxter, MN 56401
 

A great option in the town of Baxter - we will have transportation to and from Country Inn and the wedding venue the day of the wedding. (Note: they allow 1 night stays)

Hotel

Grand View Lodge Spa and Golf Resort

23521 Nokomis Avenue, Nisswa, MN 56468
 

Grandview is another one of our favorite places to visit while in the area. They have many options on their grounds, from boutique hotel, to full sized house. Even if you don't stay here, we highly recommend walking the gorgeous grounds (and stopping for some ice cream at the Chocolate Ox).

Hotel

Quarterdeck Resort

9820 Birch Bay Drive Southwest, Nisswa, MN 56468
 

Another gorgeous resort on the western side of Gull Lake. Even if you don't stay here, we recommend their patio for a drink or dinner!

Hotel

Kavanaugh's Sylvan Lake Resort

1685 Kavanaugh Drive, Brainerd, MN 56401
 

This is a smaller resort but just as great! Right across the street from Madden's.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brainerd-Baxter, an IHG Hotel

15739 Audubon Way, Baxter, MN 56425
 

An option closer to town, in Baxter. (Note: there is a 2 night minimum stay)

Hotel

Cragun's Resort, Golf & Conference

11000 Craguns Drive, Brainerd, MN 56401
 

Yet another great resort right on Gull Lake. This one is very close to Madden's if you'd like to make use of the transportation to and from the wedding that will be stopping at at that resort.
