About this property

Book Your Summer Vacation Today!

Beautiful, newly remodeled 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath cabin with a loft and screened in porch located directly on the north side of Gladstone Lake. With the loft, the cabin sleeps 7 comfortably. The cabin is situated 30 ft from the lake. It is an easy walk with a gradual slope down to the sandy beach. Enjoy gorgeous, breath taking sunsets in the evening. The cabin is located in the heart of the beautiful and historical Brainerd Lakes Area. The cabin is just minutes south of Nisswa but only 10 miles north of Brainerd. 

Gladstone lake has a sandy bottom to swim, tube, water ski, or relax and enjoy. No muck on the bottom. Enjoy fishing and lakeside campfires or just relaxing in the screened in porch. Practice your golf game at the cabin with a one-hole coarse. Fairway with a dog leg to the right. Or practice your chipping, before heading to one of many gorgeous and well known golf courses. The Nisswa and Brainerd area are known for the fine dining, shopping and many activities for kids of all ages. There are over 15 well known golf courses within 20 minutes of the cabin. There are several activities for the kids to enjoy while mom or dad are golfing. Beside swimming at the cabin, head into Brainerd where the kids can drive the go-carts, play mini golf, rent out the batting cages, and participate in the famous Turtle Races that are held every Wednesday at noon during the Summer months.  The Cabin is also located just off the Bike Trail that goes from Brainerd to Pequot Lakes. Games on the property for use and entertainment include, croquet, bocce ball, badminton, bean bag toss, tubes for relaxing in the lake or tubing behind a boat. Also a swing set with climbing wall, swings, slide. Inside activities include, 5 different game boards, cribbage board, deck of cards, yahtzee.

The cabin has a fully functional kitchen with all new and modern appliances. Sorry no dishwasher. It is fully stocked with all the kitchen essentials; all you need to do is provide the food! The floor plan includes an open living room. The master bedroom is located on the main level and the loft has three single beds in it. The cabin does come with the essential bedding for each bed. I also provide bath towels, wash clothes to be used inside the house. I do have a 55in TV in the living room and a 42in TV in the loft entertainment area. Both are hooked up to cable. There is a regular DVD player provided as well. Bring your own PS4 or Xbox. The cabin has a wall A/C unit downstairs in the living room and one in the loft.  Along with a grill, right outside the front door. The guest will have access to the full cabin. Beautiful property with over 4 1/2 acres of land. 220 ft of lake shore. You will also be able to get into the storage unit for all outside games, life jackets, etc.

The loft is multi-level that includes a 12' x 12' entrainment room for the kids. There is a secluded hidden play room for the kids to make into their vacation fort. There is a Kayaks to use on the property. Bring your own boat or you can rent mine. I have a boat lift at the dock for rent during your stay as well. The boat has a 25 hp motor, live well, and removable seats. Also have a pontoon to rent. It is a fish and pleasure pontoon. 21 ft. pontoon with a 60 hp, 4stroke motor, holds 12 people, fish locator, life jackets. All you need is fishing pole or have a relaxing time on the lake cruising around. Please call for additional pricing details on the boat lift, fishing boat, two jet ski's or pontoon.

The cabin is available to rent (can include boat lift, pontoon, jet ski's or fishing boat) starting April 1 - October 31, for 2-5 guests. Anything over 5 guests, please call me for pricing. Small dogs are welcome for an additional fee. Please email or call for reservations.

We had a fabulous time! We loved getting out on the water kayaking, searching for shells on the beach, and sharing stories around the campfire. The property was super clean, newly renovated, and was perfect for our family of 5 plus our pup.

We very much enjoyed our quick weekend away at this cabin. Location is beautiful! Right next to the lake, great beach area with plenty provided to do or just relax and enjoy the view! The cabin was clean with a wonderful set up. The main house is behind the cabin but your privacy is respected and they are very nice!

We had a wonderful stay at this lakeside cabin. It was very clean and well equipped for a relaxing holiday weekend. As we were in town for a wedding, we didn’t have enough time to utilize the many water sport activities but hope to make it back soon. Thanks Ron and Jodi!

Charming cabin

We liked our cabin but there was little privacy outside. A family lived behind us and dominated the beach, dock and firepit. So we will not be returning. A suggestion is to leave batteries for the remote, instructions for the Roku TV and the grill.
