This beautiful 🏡cabin provides all the comforts of home. Bring the whole gang to the Life Is Good Lodge on peaceful North Long Lake (over 6000 acres) in the Brainerd Lakes Area which is known for its great fishing and recreational fun.
We have 150' of private, sugar sand beach 🏖️ with a shallow water entry - perfect for kids to splash and 🏊🏻♀️ swim and a level yard with no stairs to the beach!
This colorful and fun tri-level boasts room to spread out both inside and out. Perfect for extended family and multiple families.
There’s a bunkroom for the kids and 3 other 🛏️ bedrooms. The kids can enjoy their own living space with a large flat screen 📺 TV in the 2nd living area. The home is stocked with family ♟️🎲 games, 📚books, and some toys. We have also stocked it with an additional queen-sized air mattress and bedding for additional guests.
There’s plenty of space for the whole family including two comfortable 🛋️ seating areas for games, 🎬 movies, and relaxing. There’s a fully stocked and equipped kitchen with bar seating. A gas 🔥 fireplace in the upstairs living room with amazing views of the lake, a custom wet bar with seating for 6 with an additional bar seating for 4.
The home has a 🏓 ping pong table, 🎱 pool table, foosball table, ladder ball, cornhole, and plenty of games to keep the whole family entertained.
Have fun on the lake with our 🛶 kayak or stand-up paddle board. Or, choose to relax around the 🔥 fire pit and make S’mores after a great dinner from the wood-fired 🍕pizza oven.

Fully stocked kitchen
Bathrooms have towels, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body soap
