Amazing stay in the BLA

A group of Camp Lake Hubert Alumni stayed here and we loved it. It was close to camp, on a fabulous lake, and the place was the perfect setting to have campfires, enjoy the lake, and spend time with old friends.

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.

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!
