This is the hotel where we will have a block of rooms (Group Code: LUE). It is a great hotel for families as it is large, clean, and has an indoor waterpark for everyone to have a great time at! Plus, its less than 15 minutes from the ceremony/reception!
Groome Transportation offers shuttles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to Brainerd for as little as $45 one-way. This is a great option for guests wanting to fly into MSP but who don't want to deal with getting a rental car. It comes highly recommended by locals in Brainerd and will be sure to get you where you need to go. Our only recommendation is to book these rides ahead of time to secure your place on the shuttle!
This is another great option for couples and families alike! It is your standard hotel with clean rooms and similarly less that 15 minutes from the ceremony/reception!
This is a great hotel if you're looking for a more rustic Minnesota feel. It has a lot of wood cabin finishes and stuffed animals galore. It also has an indoor waterpark and is about 15 minutes from the ceremony/reception!
This is an affordable option for anyone looking to save a few dollars! It has great clean rooms and amazing people working there. It's also only 10 minutes from the ceremony/reception!
For anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with great amenities, Grandview Lodge is the place to go! The resort is over 100 years old and is well-loved throughout Minnesota. It comes with two professional golf courses, an award-winning spa, and enough activities to keep the whole family busy. It's a little further from the ceremony/reception at 25 minutes away, but is close to Lizzy's parents home and a quaint downtown Nisswa. As a fun fact, this is also where Lizzy worked as a front desk agent for two years (and almost met Miles Teller).
This is another great option for families looking to take a vacation in Northern Minnesota. With a little bit more reasonable prices but still great activities and views, Good ol' Days offers a relaxing Northern Minnesota experience to all! Similar to Grandview, it is about 25 minutes from the ceremony/reception, but close to Lizzy's family home and downtown Nisswa!
For anyone looking for a rustic but memorable experience in Northern Minnesota, you have to check out Beachland Cottages. This is where Lizzy's family went on summer vacations for 9 years starting on her first birthday. The Luebbers have such great memories here in these slightly broken down but lovable cottages. It is where their love of Minnesota and Lake Hubert began, and we would be remiss if we didn't add it to our recommendations.
There are also many Airbnb's up around the Brainerd area that guests can stay at. These would be perfect if you are looking for a spot for a larger family or if you are interested in trying to get a place on a nearby lake!
