Nice motel and area
Very clean and comfortable hotel room. Great views of Big Trout Lake and is attached to a nice restaurant and bar with a patio. Just 25 minutes northeast of Brainerd / Baxter area in the Whitefish / Cross lake area.

Loved the "Up North Lodge" ambiance. Breakfast was delicious and staff super friendly and helpful. I see why many Lodgers are "long timers"

The room is freshly redone and nice. Nothing fancy but reflects the lake lifestyle. The grounds, bar, restaurant, beach and tiki bar were delightful! We’ll definitely return!

An easy, quick getaway to see fall tree colors.
Our little 3 night get away to Manhattan Beach was just what we needed. The restaurant was open on Sunday, but was closed on Monday and Tuesday due to this being a slower time of year for them. We did have wonderful weather, the tree colors were just starting to turn which made a drive through Pillsbury State Park very enjoyable.

Our family was in Cross Lake for a funeral this weekend. Several family members stayed at Manhattan Beach. It was perfect for us. The food was great and the staff were all awesome! This is a traditional family resort, so not super fancy but clean and beds very comfortable. It was quiet this weekend, so we kinda had the place to ourselves. Such a great location that I'm sure it is jumping in the summertime. Would definitely stay again.

The property was older and you hear every creak and movement from the upper floors. Was not restful!
