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.
