About this property

LOG CABIN w/ HOT TUB in BRAINERD - PARADISE NORTH

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 :)

IMPORTANT LOCATION NOTE: Paradise North is located across the street from the cabins on the water. The cabin itself is NOT directly on the water.

Beautiful cabin that was perfect for my family. Accommodations were clean and modern. The hot tub and backyard were great for evenings together! Proximity to Paradise Resort made for a fun atmosphere. Cabin is not right on the beach so be prepared to seek out public beaches if you want to enjoy more swimming time. Whipple Beach in Brainerd was excellent!

You're absolutely right that we're not directly on the water, but there are several great public beaches nearby, and Whipple Beach is definitely a favorite.

The cabin was very clean and cute and had a lot of games to play when indoors. Items that could be improved: some outdoor games; there was not a drainer stopper in the kitchen sink (and the sink was very small); the main bedroom shower floor was little rocks and some were a little pokey on the feet; flannel sheets on the bed in July is an odd choice; the outdoor grill was not usable - the grates on it were not clean and were in bad shape, plus it appears only two of the burners were working.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, cozy atmosphere, and selection of games, but we're sorry that several aspects of the cabin fell short of expectations. We really appreciate you pointing out the kitchen sink stopper, we have since replaced this. The shower floor is a stone floor that the owners before us installed and can be slightly uncomfortable on the feet if standing in the wrong spot for an extended period of time. We do have "summer" and "winter" bedding, I apologize our cleaner did not use the "summer" bedding during your stay. It sounds like the previous guests created quite a bit of laundry and the "winter" bedding is the only set that was available. In regards to the grill, we have reviewed the issues and are making the necessary upgrades. In regards to outdoor games, we actually made the choice not to provide them because we are remote owners and from experience, games quickly get broken or pieces get lost which quickly turns into a big headache to keep games ready to use. We want every part of the cabin to be comfortable, functional, and ready for our guests, so feedback like this is genuinely helpful. Thank you again for staying with us and for giving us the opportunity to improve!

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

Gorgeous northern setting with modern, cozy amenities.

What makes this property unique

Hot Tub, Bonfire Area, Deck with Built-In Grill as well as a Picnic Table. Fantastic for enjoying time with a significant other, family, or friends in a beautiful/relaxing area.

Also, perfectly located equidistant to Brainerd (Northwest 18 mins) and Garrison/Mille Lacs (East 20 mins)

This property is relevant year round with tons of summer, fall, winter, and spring activities to do at the property or in nearby Brainerd or Mille Lacs.
