This is the second year we have stayed here and we had another excellent experience! The owners are very responsive to all questions. This was a family vacation and the set up was perfect. The grandkids loved the book nook, their bunk bed room and all the beach toys! Already looking forward to next year.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful, memorable time. Home and property were perfect. It was hard to leave. The children and adults loved the large, soft sand beach (gets very hot so possibly bring water shoes) The water is very shallow which was perfect for our littles and adults to lounge. The large lawn was freshly mowed and some how we never encountered mosquitoes! Bring sticks for your s’mores as there aren’t any supplied for the beautiful fire pit.

Great MN Up North Weekend

We had a great stay up north! The property has an awesome beach front with a very shallow sand beach that goes well out into the lake. Kayaking and paddle boarding were a lot of fun. The backyard shed had a bunch of fun outdoor games, and there was a great fire pit. The house was great for our two families (4 adults and 4 kids). Not that it matters but as a heads up, there was nothing ‘extra’ in the kitchen - like coffee/spices/cleaning supplies/etc that we see in other rental places, so make sure you plan accordingly. Close to Nisswa for fun restaurants and shopping. Owner was very responsive to a couple questions and requests. We were there for the 4th and had a wonderful time! Highly recommend this beautiful property and prime location!

Perfect Nisswa Lake House!

Just returned from a wonderful trip up north! Big backyard with fire pit, sandy beach with long gradual entry and water toys were among the highlights of this property. House was very clean and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We had two families (6 kids and 6 adults) and the space was perfect. Bunk room was great for the older kids. Just 15 mins to Nisswa for gas/groceries/booze/fire wood. Warm outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off the sand when done at the lake. Overall wonderful experience. Just a heads up for future renters, there were little-to-no cleaning supplies, coffee, spices, etc. in kitchen and there were no beach towels and minimal bath towels. Wasn’t a major issue for us but plan accordingly if this is important to you. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would absolutely stay here again. 5 Stars.

Perfect family vacation house

Our group consisted of six adults and five children ranging in ages from 4-13. The house is gorgeous just like the photos and had plenty of room for all. Very large kitchen with open concept made it perfect for making meals and still getting to be a part of the activities. The house location is perfect as it was close to anything you may need store wise and close to downtown shopping. You also have a private beach with all of the water toys you need. The kids had an amazing time and we loved how shallow the water was for the littles. Water and beach sand were also very clean. We rented a pontoon and jet ski from a boat shop down the road and that was everyone’s favorite day! Round Lake is a smaller less busy lake (which the house sits on) so it was perfect for tubing with the kids. Round Lake connects to Gull lake which you can get to via boat and is much larger. Gull Lake was fun to drive around on with the pontoon and stop at lake restaurants. Owners were very communicative and responded almost instantly. We had the best time and couldn’t recommend more! This location will be tough to top!

Absolutely wonderful!

Stay here!! (I recently stayed at two different VRBOs- total opposites- this was hands down the winner!). This place is beautiful and perfect for a large group! The owners were kind, quick to respond, easy to work with, willing to help and overall just great! The house and yard are wonderful- can’t say enough about that- tons to keep everyone entertained. We used the kitchen and grill a lot. Per another review recommendation- we brought our own beach towels and washed them up every night. Kitchen was pretty well stocked. Firepit and chairs were great. We went for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary long weekend getaway and it was the perfect fit for everyone.

Wonderful Place, Will Definitely Go Back!

We had a great time! Everything was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. The beach was amazing and the outdoor 'toys' were a huge bonus especially with all the grandkids. It is a very spacious home so we did not feel like were on top of each other. The refrigerator did not have a filtered water system as shown in the photos so we did end up having to buy quite more bottled water than expected but not that big of a deal. We absolutely had a wonderful time and will hopefully be going back next year!!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Christie

Host profile image
We are Chris and Christie! Cheesy... we know! Originally from Texas but moved to Minnesota in 2005. We've always loved the Brainerd area and knew that one day we would find the perfect lake home that our family could make long-lasting memories in. We have 3 beautiful children that absolutely love the lake!

Why they chose this property

The panoramic views of the lake when you walk into the home will take your breath away! Only 2-2.5hrs from the Twin cities, this was the perfect location for our family. This home was recently built in 2019 with memory-making in mind. One of the biggest reasons we purchased this home is because it's on Round Lake connected to the Gull Lake Chain. You have the opportunity to explore multiple lakes throughout the chain. The other rare and exciting feature of this property is the 1 acre flat yard with a sandy shoreline beach. No steep stairs to get to the beach and the water is clear with a gradual slope entry. This home is centrally located just off 371 in Brainerd... between Nisswa and Baxter. Amazing location when you need to make a quick run to Target/Costco, need a variety of restaurants/bars or to do some fun boutique shopping in Nisswa Square.

What makes this property unique

The goal of our property is for guests to make wonderful memories while staying at a luxury lake home on the Gull Lake Chain. Everything in the home is newly furnished from the furniture, to the beds, the linens, the kitchen utensils, etc... The views of the lake and summer sunsets are truly stunning!

Thank you for considering our home as we're certain you will love it as much as we do!
