About this property

PARADISE NORTH: LOG HOME CABIN IN BRAINERD, MN

Log Home Cabin livin'. Welcome to Paradise North! Come enjoy all the Brainerd lakes area has to offer at Paradise North.

Want a calm & quiet area to relax?
Breath in the fresh northern air while listening to loons calling and gazing at the stars above...all while in our hot tub, on our patio grilling, or roasting s'mores at our bonfire!

Looking for more action?
Head out on the Lake, go snowmobiling/4-wheeling/biking/running on the many trails, walleye fish on Mille Lacs (20 mins), or head to Brainerd (18 mins) for tons of entertainment options for everyone year round!

***************

INSIDE
Open the door to our log cabin and smell that fresh pine scent. This log home is filled with classic cabin decor and modern amenities to make you feel cozy and right at home. The open floor plan with a loft (with two comfy queen log beds) that over looks the main living area and kitchen space creates a great vibe. Put the kids up top while the parents take the spacious master bedroom on the main floor. Just you and your significant other? No problem, this layout works great for a couple or a family! A full bathroom is located on the main floor and also in the loft that are pridefully kept spotless, along with the rest of the unit. In the kitchen I have included all the essentials to make and/or enjoy a meal inside and outside. There is also a table next to the kitchen and on the patio for dining or computer work while using the fast wifi. Need to relax and just want to hang? Or maybe it's raining outside...No worries, grab a seat in the living room on the cushy couch next to an electric fireplace, play one of our many games, surf the internet, or stream your favorite shows on the TV that is ready for you to connect to with your favorite streaming accounts. Upstairs in the loft, there are a number of DVDs for adults and kids as well.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, THE MAIN FLOOR OF THE CABIN HAS A HEATED FLOOR! Sure to create a cozy vibe come winter time.

Consumables Included: During your stay there will be fresh towels, shampoo/body wash, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap and bleach, coffee, coffee filters, creamer, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, assortment of spices, trash bags, makeup remover and pads, cotton swabs.

Conveniences: air conditioning and fans, coffee maker, blender, toaster, hair dryer, hair curler, hair straightener, full length mirror, TV with DVD player in loft, assortment of DVDs that appeal to adults and kids, board games. Also, water in home is well water. BUT, all water in home passes through a water softener AND whole home water filter and is thus ready to drink!

OUTSIDE
Paradise North has a large patio with a built in grill for entertaining family and friends. Not eating? Sit on the patio picnic table while getting some work done or just simply enjoying a great book and cup of coffee. A hot tub is located just outside the back door and is wonderful for stargazing at the end of the day year round. There is also a bonfire area with plenty of seating for cozying up and roasting s'mores with your companions.

NEARBY
Less than a 5 min walk or quarter mile down the road is the only bar/restaurant on the lake. Paradise Bar & Grill is a classic northern dive bar that has great food and drinks, a pool table, darts, and pull tabs. Additionally, it has a large patio with seating in the summertime and routinely has events going on through out the year. (Check out their FB page to see what's coming up next.) This bar stays busy in the winter time as well as it is at the intersection of multiple snowmobile trails and serves as lunch spot for those passing through. This bar is fantastic when you don't feel like cooking, need a drink, or just looking for something to do during your stay.

So, want a little time away? Sick of your four walls? Come on up and experience the "Up North" vibe, the loons are calling you :)

Nice weekend getaway!
Super nice, tucked away little cabin. Hot tub was great to use and the rest of the place was really comfortable! Sometimes water pressure got a little iffy, but that’s just part of having a mid-size group of people using one well. Overall, very pleased with the stay here!

Very Relaxing Weekend
It was a very relaxing weekend and the place is beautiful and very well decorated. We utilized the beautiful deck often and the hot tub was just what we needed. That being said, there were a couple things that should be looked at/noted. First of all, this is not a secluded site. It is in a neighborhood and you do have neighbors. The pictures make it look more secluded. There is no close access to the water. There are no curtains/blinds on the large deck windows and three out of the five front windows either didn’t have any blinds or they did not work. The lower level bedroom and bathroom curtains are sheer and totally see-through. If it was more secluded, this would not be a problem. I’m sure when the trees are all full of leaves, it is a little more secluded, but when we went, the trees were still bare. Some of the kitchen utensils and pans need replacement or updating and there were no dish cloths or scrub brush available. We did have an Internet issue and it took several hours to hear back from the host. We’re not sure if all the jets in the hot tub were working as they were supposed to, but we still enjoyed it very much. There is no sink next to the grill as it shows in the picture. We did go into Brainerd to Northland Arboretum and went on a 3 1/2 mile hike and stopped at the Paradise restaurant on the way back, which was very enjoyable, and then enjoyed the hot tub and the stars afterwards. Overall, it was a very nice and relaxing weekend in a beautiful place.

Just close enough
We enjoyed our stay at Paradise North. The cabin is a short but enjoyable drive to Brainerd. We walked down to the Paradise Resort Bar a couple times for a beer and a game of pool. The cabin is nicely setup. It had coffee, toilet paper, paper towels and fresh bath towels. We had an issue with the spa, but Garret was quick to respond and took care of the issue. I would stay here again but I do wish the cabin had direct lake access.

Nice looking property. Some type of complication caused us to come to an uncleaned house. We called the owner and he promptly gave us a refund, and we found another place to stay.

Nice, but not impressive
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, however we were disappointed to find the hot tub had not been cleaned…it was too yucky to use. This was one of the main reasons we booked this cabin. The cabin was clean inside, and had clean linens and towels. We did have to spend some time cleaning the grill prior to using it. The bathroom on the main floor was lovely, we just had to be careful where we stood in the shower as some of the rocks on floor are sharp. We had no issues with the tv. But did find it hard to get comfy on the main floor bed and the couch as they are overly soft to sit/lie on. Our host was great! Very accommodating. But for the price we paid for 2 nights, we were disappointed.

Great cabin!
The cabin was wonderful! Very cozy and updated! The sandbar by the bridge was a huge hit! The beach by the resort is private and not to be used by this VRBO. It is in one of the pictures, but the owners at the resort said it’s only for registered guests. The tv in the main room was difficult to work. The remotes were either dead or not registering to the tv and we could not change the volume. A few of the jets in the hot tub had no pressure. These are easy fixes! Other than that, awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Garrett Faust

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Garrett and I am the property manager for this VRBO. I enjoy hosting because it allows me to share my favorite areas with others and enables them to make their own memories in the cities I love with the people they love.

A little about me, I am from the Twin Cities and grew up spending many summer weekends up north at the cabin. My family didn't own a cabin so my visits up north were always dependent on my parents scheduling a family vacation or getting the invite from friends. I had so much fun and made so many memories at the cabin growing up that I made it a goal of mine to own a cabin of my own some day.

So, here we are many years later and this is how it manifested. Short term renting has made it sustainable to obtain a property that family, friends, and I can enjoy as well as share it with others who are looking to make similar memories to the ones I made growing up. I'm so proud of this slice of northern paradise and I am excited to share it with you. So, please, enjoy your time here and make your own cabin memories with friends and family!

Why they chose this property
