Book the BLA - Brainerd Lakes Area lake.

Featured by Redfin: Why Minnesota (and Book the BLA) is Pretty Great

We’ve always known Minnesota has a certain magic to it—and now Redfin is helping spread the word. In their recent article, What is Minnesota Known For?, they highlighted all the things that make this state pretty great: Paul Bunyan, the State Fair, wild winters, stunning summers—and of course, lake life.

We were honored to be featured alongside our sister company, Woods to Water Real Estate, for the work we do helping people experience the best of the Brainerd Lakes Area.

AS SAID BY REDFIN:

“Whether you’re looking to unplug for a weekend or settle into a slower pace, the Brainerd Lakes Area offers a taste of the good life—and Woods to Water’s short-term rental platform, Book the BLA, makes it easier than ever to plan your stay.”

That’s the heart of what we do.
We help people experience Minnesota in the most memorable way—whether that’s sipping morning coffee on a dock, soaking in a copper tub after a day on the water, or gathering around a fire pit with family and friends.

Lake Life, Your Way

From luxury retreats to cozy cabins, our vacation rental homes are curated to help you slow down, settle in, and live a little closer to nature. Every home we manage is backed by hands-on service, local knowledge, and a team that’s proud to call this place home.

Whether you’re heading up for the week, the weekend, or just exploring where to go next, we’ve got you covered.
