Quiet, great views of the lake. We were the only people on the property, but could imagine it would buzz with activity in the warmer months.

Great place to go with families. Plenty of lake activities provided (paddleboard, kayaks). Nice outdoor grills and fire pits! Pickleball within walking distance. Of course, Nisswa is a beautiful downtown to enjoy! Will stay again!

Perfect for families. Loved the beach with enough chairs for everyone. Kids loved the water toys and parents loved the depth of the lake so the young ones could touch the bottom. Wonderful for our boat lift for our boat as well. Our condo was perfect. Had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Must bring cooking essentials spices, oil, etc. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location on Gull Lake

We were 7 high school friends on a girls weekend. We had a blast in this roomy condo. Lots of space, right on the water with great views. Fire pits were awesome, we rented pontoon and spent the day on the water. When we had a small issue, it was fixed immediately. Everything was fantastic, great value for the money.

Best location on the Lake plus extras

Sandy beach, gorgeous sunsets, beautiful outside space with patio, grills, fire pits that can accommodate many families or more private if you prefer. The inside was clean, nicely decorated and wonderful views of the lake. We were upstairs and were glad once we saw the views. Also, we were greeted with a bottle of wine, small charcuterie board and sealed cup waiting for us on the center island. It was a nice touch and thoughtful way for us to commemorate our stay. Very good experience!

Anniversary weekend getaway

Initially there was some miss communication about a rental agreement that had to be signed that had not been sent. Also there was a welcome email packet that was not sent. These small issues were resolved well on-site by a staff member. Who also helped us get checked in sooner. Both staff members in person and over the phone were friendly and helpful. We had a great experience! The unit we stayed in had a great view of the lake. We enjoyed the sandy beach and didn't want to leave. We are looking forward to booking another stay here again soon!

Timothy, thank you for this stunning review. We apologize for the miscommunication of the documents, but are glad it was resolved in a professional and timely manner. We are so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed Gull Lake and will be staying with us again. We value guests like you!
