My family (kids 2 and 4) had a great time here. I don't normally write reviews, but this place was great. First - the beds were nice Serta beds. Something that can easily be forgotten when looking at pictures of a place. The indoor water park was loved by my kids. Unlike another waterpark that we've previously went to, this place actually is staffed well and always has staff watching the pools and cleaning stuff up. The snack area was nice - I liked that I could charge stuff directly to my room. The area had stuff for most ages of kids - very small, little, and then 2 larger waterslides that would be good for lower teens even. My family had a great experience here.

Nice place to stay in the Baxter/Brainerd area! Had a very nice stay at the Rapid River Lodge! Was comfortable, clean, had a nice breakfast (included) and all the staff we interacted with were pleasant and assisted us with any needs. We did not use the water park, so can't give you a review on it. We would definitely stay there again.

PERFECT we loved it! It was a great place to stay with my grandkids for the weekend. The room was clean the pool area was also in perfect shape. It was everything we expected. I do wish they would not allow to have the lifeguards carry cellphones. The few interactions I had with them to ask a question, I had to get their attention off their phone. With the exception of the older gentleman on Saturday who did a fantastic job watching and taking care of the pool area to make sure the tubes were put back and table and chairs were put back. I was thankful I was not relying on the young ones. Maybe a mat of something outside of the pool area would benefit the littles coming out of the pool area. Tile is very slippery when wet. The breakfast was amazing. Staff kept it stocked and clean. Over all it was a great stay. Clean and so friendly.

Two Night Stay - Never Again ! Our family 's two night stay was not comfortable or peaceful! If I could give a zero star review that would be equitable for this Baxter Rapid River Lodge experience . I remember this hotel from years past to be very comfortable and restful however there was no rest on this recent two night stay. That is the point of staying here to get rest needed . Extremely disappointed ! I would not stay here ever again even if they gave us free nights . No Thank You

Book your stay and enjoy! This hotel and water park are awesome! We traveled with 4 kids (6, 4, 2, and 5 months). The hotel room was great- lots of room and VERY clean. The carpet was the cleanest hotel carpet I’ve come across. Breakfast was wonderful- tons of options. And it tasted wonderful! The water park was so fun for each one of us. It’s set up really well for families- a tiny tots area, hot tub, deeper pool, lazy river, 2 big slides. It’s a great value for hotel, breakfast, AND water park passes!!
