Brainerd Resorts and Lodges

A Place that Offers Everything but the Crowds...

Lost Lake Lodge is an unforgettable escape, situated on two lakes in the Minnesota Northwoods.

A spectacular restaurant serves food made from the freshest ingredients - including stone ground spring wheat & corn from the Lost Lake Grist Mill. The genuine combination of personal attention, nature, available golf and spa services and warm accommodations make this place a truly magical Brainerd getaway. Learn More...
