Top Lower Whipple Lake Hotel Reviews

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Great hotel would stay again"

Lost Lake Lodge

8/10 Good

"I loved how quiet it was for the first three days; the last night was very loud and rather busy. I was a little disappointed in the amenities. The bikes were unusable and rusty, and the games were clearly very old and not complete. The blinds in our rooms were also all broken which made sleeping in impossible."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing Staff & Experience We had such an amazing trip to Cragun’s Resort! The resort itself was beautiful, but what really made our experience special was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. You could tell they really cared about making sure guests had a great experience. Honestly, the staff made the trip for us. Their kindness and positive attitudes made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. We had such a wonderful time and are already looking forward to coming back! Thank you to the entire Cragun’s team for helping make our trip so memorable! ❤️"
