We enjoyed our stay there. It is a wonderful home and very accommodating. Has everything you need. The location is excellent. we definitely would come back.
Excellent summer vacation on Gull Lake. Had some weather, but was still a great time with our family. The cabin, dock and boat tie-up were perfect. Thank you.
8 of us, 3 generations for 5 days. We had plenty of room in the house and enjoyed the fire pit area a lot as it easily accommodated all of us.
Kids enjoyed swimming and jumping off the dock. There is a nice bike path across the road from the house where we walked
The Cabin on Gull Lake was great, clean with a great kitchen for our family dinners. The beds were very comfortable, at least the ones we used. The owner was very responsive and supported our vacation and questions. Was great to have a dock to tie our ski boat for overnight storage. Overall a great place for a family gathering.
House had enough space to fit 2 small families comfortably - enjoyed all the space the home offered. Views were great and location was fantastic. Stairs were a lot but not a deal breaker. Kid friendly home.
Everything was wonderful minus the 60 steps to the dock and 60 steps back up !! The downstairs was a great place for all 10 of us to watch tv and the dining room table was great for games for all of us.
Our family enjoyed a return visit. We used every inch of space. The accuracy of listing is detailed well. This visit we had smaller family members with us. The steps to the lake are difficult for small children, elders or if you have knee issues. As mentioned in summary of listing the Quarterdeck beach is easy walking distance and has restaurant /patio dining. If someone could share where the walleyes are....that would be helpful!
Plenty of room for our extended family of eight. Large family rooms with comfortable seating and good televisions on the main floor and in the lower level. Plenty of space to get-away if needed. Lots of varied dining locations including dinette area near kitchen, formal dining room, 2 deck tables. Very clean throughout. Nice gas grill with propane included enabled outdoor cooking. We enjoyed the nice firepit. Gull Lake is a nice sized lake to explore but not so large that we needed to travel a long distance to catch fish.
I would have given 5 stars if not for: (1) 73 steps from the dock to main floor deck; (2) lawn service started mowing the grass Wednesday at 7:30 AM and then followed up with blowing leaves and seeds off the roof at 8:00 AM; (3) the two queen beds on main floor were comfortable but squeaked loudly.
All in all, our family very much enjoyed the house.
The process was straight forward and simple. The property had all that was promised. However, up keep on the property was not outstanding. Closet doors were missing screws and hanging loose. Hand rail posts were missing from the staircase to the dock. Poison ivy bordered the yard so that a ball might roll into it. There was dog waste from the last renter still in the grass. This is quite a list but really overall the property met our needs and provided a great place for us to spend some time together and have fun!
We so enjoyed our stay at the Gull Lake Cabin. This cabin has everything you need! We enjoyed cooking most of our dinners during the week. The kitchen is fully stocked. We did bring a few of our favorite kitchen utensils, but that was just so we could use what we were use to. They have both a Keureg and a regular Mr coffee drip coffee maker. Gas grill. We only ate out for a few lunches, just to change things up.
We took advantage of the 2nd refrigerator in the garage as well as the beverage refrigerator in the basement. That was nice as we had several meals packed in our coolers!
We played many card games and other games on the game table in the basement.
We loved the spectacular view of Gull lake from the deck and we ate out on the deck many times.
Beds were super comfortable and accommodating for all our guests.
Lots of options to stop and get a snacks on Gull Lake. Quarterdeck is just a short walk away, but there is Maddens, Craguns, Grandview Lodge as well as Ernieâs and Zorbaâs restaurants.
We rented a tri-toon boat from Lake Fun Rentals. Very nice, newer boats. Our adult kids could waterski, wake board and tube behind the boat! We did it all! Will return!
The house and location were perfect for our family! Very comfortable, lots of space and we had everything we needed all weekend. I would definitely come back.
Great location near Quarterdeck, great layout for our family and friends. I was thankful for the slip for the boat and the boat launch at Quarterdeck. Everything you need for cooking and grilling. No complaints. Communication with the property host was also good. We had a great time!
Loved the home and the location on the lake. We are boaters, so we were out on the lake everyday. The home is well furnished and has plenty of sleeping arrangements. The dock allowed for overnight tie up of our boat, but the stairs down to the water are real. Our family enjoyed 5 days we spent here.
My family stayed at this cabin during the Christmas holiday. It was in a beautiful location right on Gull Lake with fantastic views. The cabin itself was spacious, clean and comfortable. We did encounter one little hiccup. The first night there, xmas eve, we discovered there was no running water, In a bit of a panic, we tried to get in touch with the property manager and the owner's by calling/texting. After several attempts and an hour plus later, we were able to get in touch with the Owners. They were apologetic and quick to direct us to the mechanical room where we were able to flip a switch and turn the water back on. Thankfully, a quick fix to a potential crisis! This particular week had plagued the state with dangerously cold temps and we were told that the water had likely been shut off so as to not freeze the pipes. The owners were very nice and very helpful, even offering up their suggestions for things to do/see in the area. Our only complaint is that we never at any time heard back from their property manager. While we didn't need his help any longer, it was a little disappointing that he never returned our messages regarding the incident. Overall the cabin, was a delight! It had all the comforts of home, was in a great location and was a fantastic place to enjoy our holiday! We would definitely stay again!
Couple minor recommendations:
-There was no firewood for our use. I believe it was advertised that there was wood on the premises. We ended up having to run out on xmas day to get firewood
-The downstairs was very cold and seemed to not hold the same temp as the upstairs. Not sure how to regulate this, but something to consider if you plan to have large groups, including kids during the winter months
We had an amazing time with family and our two retrievers. Best stocked cabin kitchen we have ever seen! Watched the sunrise every morning and enjoyed fireplaces and game collection. Truly a treasure in the woods.
Our young family of 6 lives in the Twin Cities and we head up to our Gull Cabin every chance we can. We're very active and take advantage of all the actives around our cabin. From the zip-line course at Mount Ski Gull to hitting the trails for our daily jog. We like to start our day with coffee on the deck overlooking the lake. Then end the night with Ice Cream at the coffee shop and drinks at Dock 77 Restaurant less than a 5 minute walk down the road. The cabin is heaven for us and we love that we put the car in park when we arrive at our cabin and don't use it again until we leave.
We bought this Cabin because of the spectacular views and proximity to Gull Lake amenities. We love the 1.2 acre lot that provides 100 ft of lakefront privacy and convenience to restaurants, resorts, state parks, and even Mount Ski Gull where you can ski/snowboard in the winter and zip-line in the summer. We're in love with our Gull Lake Cabin and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
