About this property
Includes Boat Slip on Gull Lake next to Zorbaz and Resort Pools and Amenities
The Blue Ox Guest House on Gull is a 3,250 Sq Ft Five Bed Five Bath home with two owners' suites! This is the perfect home to host multiple families or your large group gathering. With living space spread over three levels allows plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The home is part of the Causeway on Gull Resort and is stocked with plenty of bikes, balls, and racquets to keep the kids busy and you're only steps away from the ever-popular Zorbaz on Gull. The resort has indoor and outdoor pools with hot tubs and a sauna. The home rental includes a dedicated boat slip on Gull Lake. There is plenty of room for trailer parking making it easy to bring your boat or if you prefer, rent a boat. There are two boat rental businesses right on-site with YourBoatClub and LakeFunRentals, and three other options only 5 min up the road in Nisswa. You can get anything from a fishing boat or performance tri-toon to jet skis. Either way, you will have a slip at the Causeway marina right next to Zorbaz for the duration of your stay at no added cost. This home is our family cabin, and we have gone the extra mile fully stocking it with all the comforts of home. The kitchen is loaded; just bring your ingredients and skills. There are games and puzzles for evenings and rainy days to entertain everyone. Six Smart TVs so you can access all your favorite shows. The home is set in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes area.

Why they chose this property
With three kids who love to get out behind the boat, there are few places better to be during a Minnesota summer than out on Gull Lake. The townhome setup vs a traditional lake home is a winning tradeoff for us. In exchange for giving up the private lakeside yard of a single-family home, we get 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, a resort maintained dock slip that we never have to hassle with on one of the best locations on the lake. Its pretty tough to find 3,200+ Sq Ft with all the resort amenities.
What makes this property unique
Fantastic Location close to some exceptional dining and a…activities Zorbaz (0.1), Bar Harbor Supper Club (0.3), Lost Lake Lodge (0.4), Cowboy's (1.2), The Iron Waffle Coffee Company (2.3)... Golf at The Pines at Grand View (2.1) ... Only 8 Min to Nisswa and 15 min to Brainerd.
