Very personable fellow, who went above and beyond. I had a situation with one kid that necessitated an "emergency" trip to a convince store and he helped out with no complaints or signs of annoyance, when it clearly must have been annoying. The trek down the Pine River was beautiful and so relaxing. My kids (9 & 13) had a great time. Our whole group did. I don't know much about what else they offer but the caring service rendered, along with the great time meandering down the river, was one I'll remember for a long time.

So much fun! Great equipment and fun and knowledgeable crew! Booked 2 afternoons of tubing and…read morewakesurfing and had an amazing time!

Here's the deal; I understand & believe the reviews. I have been renting Waverunners from them for…read moreabout 6 years in a row! The waverunners are almost new and always ready to go. They are very organized in this sense. Just don't make one of them mad. That's all I'm going to say. Otherwise, here are some simple but important suggestions I quickly learned: Three rules!!! STAY AWAY FROM THE DOCK! STAY AWAY FROM THE DOCK! STAY AWAY FROM THE DOCK! (I bet they make more money for paint chips on the Waverunners than for the rental itself! lol Trust me, they have my "paint chip" money!) Don't get rocks in the propeller or it won't go over 20 mph!! (Not fun!!!) Don't forget to put the drain plugs in BEFORE you drop it in the water!!! (I have never jumped in a lake so fast!!) Don't forget your trailer hitch!

Worst experience ever. The Premier pontoon we expected to rent was garbage. It leaked gas, the…read morepropeller was so out of balance it vibrated the pontoon and the power steering steering did not work. The pontoon was so dangerous to drive I would not let my adult children drive it. Complete safety hazard. Upon returning the pontoon, I reported the problem to Dave the owner. Not only did he not offer any discount, he didn't even apologize. He actually was offended I reported the problem. He was arrogant and rude. I have lived in the Brainerd lakes are for 30 years. I have never been treated so poorly by anybody, especially in this area. I should have read the reviews before I rented.

They have a wide selection of excellent coffee drinks plus really tasty soup, sandwiches, and breakfast items to fuel you up for a ride. I ordered a grilled cheese and the soup of the day, which was a curried squash soup. I can't get over how good that soup was. It was vegan, and I can't quite pinpoint what the spices were, but it was so tasty. Very savory. They also have a great supply of bikes and biking supplies to meet all of your needs when hitting the trails. If you're coming up to bike Cayuna, you have to stop at red Raven.

What a cool store/restaurant. I loved the rustic touches like the corrugated metal on the exterior and reclaimed wood inside. Staff was amazing. Loved how they told me the origins of the name of Cuyuna park. They made a great latte as well. Great stop.
