Lake Area Music Festival stay in Brainerd, MN
My family and I visited Brainerd, MN for the first time to attend the Lake Area Music Festival where our daughter was performing. The house we chose was excellent and I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Brainerd area. First, the hosts, Mark and Heidi were highly communicative and quickly responsive to any questions. Second, the house is completely renovated and immaculately decorated; third the location is fantastic with short walkable access to downtown boutique shops, restaurants, bars, YMCA, the Gichi-Ziibi Center for the Arts, and many walking/biking trails. Our family of four was very comfortable in the property. I highly recommend this property and upon my next visit to Brainerd, this will definitely be our go-to property. Thanks Mark and Heidi for being such tremendous hosts.
