We stayed in the two-bedroom, two-bath condo. Bedrooms were lofted (both beds queens). Murphy bed on the main floor, plus pull out couch. In-room hot tub and fireplace, along with two decks and gas grill. Full kitchen and laundry room. These rooms rocked.

Commander Bar, many lakes with good fishing, many small towns with cute shops, golf

Resort was very peaceful and quiet. On-site pools (3) with game room. Indoor hot tub and fireplace. Fishing very close along with golf.

Fabulous resort! Staff great and beautiful rooms, seemed newly renovated inside. Stayed in a two-bedroom and it was bigger then some friends’ apartments. Will be back with friends or family anytime. Five stars!

Since those early beginnings, Breezy Point has seen continuous spurts of growth. While most of the original 1920s buildings were lost in a fire many years ago, there are a wide range of accommodations and amenities ranging from old to new.

The two primary attractions of the resort are the marina and golf courses. Located on Pelican Lake, and giving access to the Whitefish Chain of lakes, Breezy Point is a great launching point for fishermen. Many guests bring their own boats and dock at the marina or rentals of anything from fishing boats, jet-skis, or 12-25 foot pontoons are available.

Golf is definitely a highlight at Breezy Point. The resort hosts two great golf courses and is surrounded by many other world-class golf options. During the summer months, vacationers can take advantage of a weekly golf membership providing unlimited access to the Breezy courses.

A unique feature at Breezy Point is the Ice Arena. This is northern Minnesota and hockey and figure skating are important in this area. The Breezy Ice Arena is home to a couple of local hockey teams and has several nights each week available for open skating. As a timeshare guest, we received a coupon for free admission to the open skate for our group.

As with most other resorts, there are pools, tennis courts, and other recreation areas. Unique to Breezy is the nearby access to a very popular bike trail called the Paul Bunyan Trail. This well cared for, blacktop trail winds 75 miles from Brainerd to Bemidji, Minnesota and has stops in many smaller communities in between. An enjoyable bike ride for families is the four or five mile stretch from Pequot Lakes (a town right by Breezy Point) to Nisswa. Grab an ice cream cone at the Chocolate Ox in Nisswa for a treat at your halfway point.

The Breezy area has many places to hike. The Breezy Point cemetery and nature walk is about half a mile from the Breezy front gate and is a beautifully landscaped park to enjoy on a morning hike.

A mix of newer and older accommodations, there appears to be quite a variety of lodging possibilities. We were in a one-bedroom unit with a loft. It wasn't that large, but made really good use of the space. It was nice and comfortable.

In addition to the pools, there were lots of activities, a gym, and lots of games for the kids. We learned that this resort was voted the #1 family resort in Minnesota for five years running and it is easy to see why.
