Home away from home but with a view

Adorable cabin, perfect for a family of 4. The view is amazing. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, playing on the beach and the paddleboat was a big hit. We brought our boat and beached it each night. It was very easy to get it tied up. The cabin is on a quieter bay, great for tubing or skiing. The sandbar on the lake was very close and the restaurants were plentiful. Jim and Carole are great hosts. We look forward to coming back.

Ultimate in Relaxation

This is the second year we've stayed at this property and once again were not disappointed. Jim and Carole make you feel so welcome and you can't beat being right on the lake. We caught a lot of fish off the dock and having the kayak, canoe, and paddle boat at our disposal just made our stay that much more enjoyable. We HIGHLY recommend this property. It will not disappoint!!!

Enjoyable

Cabin was clean and comfortable. No issues except if you plan to dock your boat, you may have to beach it; touch base with the host. Sandy beach would be perfect for children to play.

Minnesota lake getaway

Great lake property, loons, hummingbirds and a nice sandy beach to relax on. Tucked away in a quiet bay made for relaxing mornings and evenings on the deck. The property was in a great location convenient to everything the Gull Lake/Nisswa/ Brainerd area has to offer! Clean and equipped cabin with comfortable furniture and beds! Couldn’t have asked for more. We thoroughly enjoyed our week!!

Family Lake Getaway

This was a perfect little cabin for our family. The proximity to the beach, the sandy beach, and decent swimming area (some weeds but nothing too bothersome) were exactly what we were looking for. Gull Lake offers lots to explore. We fished and swam nearly every day. My husband and I enjoyed the view of the lake and our children playing from the lovely shaded deck. Jim and Carol were kind and courteous. The cabin was immaculate. This cabin is an apartment over their boathouse right next to their home, but it was in no way awkward. The only minor downside was the neighbors on the other side. At times they were loud and coarse and there seemed to be a different group of people every few days, but the kindness of Jim and Carol, and the use of this tidy cabin on such an interesting lake far surpassed this. This was the getaway our family needed!

Gull Lake Beauty review

We enjoyed the cabin and lake. Our only feedback is that this property is an above the boathouse apartment and not a stand alone cabin. This is not mentioned in the listing. However, the space is nicely finished and maintained. The owners are nice and helpful.

Outstanding Stay on Gull Lake!

The view was amazing, very private place to stay and the hosts were super hospitable! We have traveled extensively over the last 25 years and this was one of our BEST trips ever! We were pleasantly surprised by the Sauna and use of the gas grill. Trust me, this place is WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY!!! PS: they are close to the public boat launch, if you are bringing a boat.

Had a lovely stay. Guest house is clean and very private. I would defiantly stay there again.

Nice beach. Gull lake is beautiful with great fishing. The guys caught lots of walleye, even in late July. Lots of fun things to do near by. The highlight for the girls was the zoo in brainard, mini golf near by and shopping in Nisswa. Very quite and relaxing. I didn’t want to go home. Thank you very much Jim and Carol for providing such a beautiful place to spend the week with our friends. Not one complaint other than a blender could have been useful as my husband likes to drink smoothies is the morning. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

A superb vacation

There are no negatives about this cabin. It is in terrific shape, well-stocked with the necessities, and in a spectacular location. We loved our week here and had no desire to leave to do other things. The lake was right outside our door, as was tubing, skiing, cruising, and fishing. More than that, though, Jim and Carole are consummate hosts. They are nothing but gracious and respectful of their guests' space. Thank you for a great week!

Wonderful experience!

Gull Lake beauty covered all the bases for my hard-to-please family. We made full use of the paddleboat, canoe & kayak. The beach was a nice private area for playing, relaxing & enjoying the fire pit. The dock is a fun place for fishing and enjoying the sunset. Sauna with shower & bathroom is a plus too. The cabin itself is clean with cozy bedrooms with comfortable beds and a cheerful bathroom. Open concept living/dining/kitchen area is great conversational spaces. Nice to have wifi available in this area, so people who need to "plug in" have a gorgeous view to take in. Grill is easily accessible, the softened water is a plus. . . there is no compromise here. It's a lovely "up north" experience with comforts of home and convenience of the nearby well developed community. Also, Jim and Carole are accommodating and quiet.
