Hosts were very responsive and so helpful. The property is beautiful. Well equipped with everything we needed. Gorgeous view of Gull Lake and a lot of our door seating including fire pits. Highly recommend. Clean comfortable and well appointed
Great property and accommodations. The views were great. Nice fire pit for sâmores and family gathering. Everything was clean and properly stocked. We got rained out with high choppy weather two days so we didnât experience as much of a âlakeâ fishing and canoeing experience. There was construction next door which is not usually an issue but they started at 6:30 a couple days. Floors squeeky so hard to walk quietly if you get up early:) otherwise great.
We are family of six adults. The cabin and detached apartment over the garage could accommodate many more people. Location was great, right next to Quarter Deck. The apartment was a bit warm at night, but he cabin is air conditioned and comfortable in the 85 degree heat and humidity.
We loved staying here and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. The house sleeps 15 and there were 9 of us. A note to self is to remember who is compatible with sharing a room or a bed. I'm glad we chose the bigger place.
The hosts were wonderful and we talked and texted during our stay when we had a question about something. Definitely a gem.
We had a wonderful time at this property, it was perfect for our group that consisted of 4 kids ages 1.5years to 15 years and 7 adults. The cabin/house is very well appointed & clean with nice use of space. We have stayed in many VRBO's in many different locations and there never seems to be enough useful kitchen items so I packed things that tend to be in poor shape or missing (cutting boards, serving platters/big serving bowls, sharp knives, misc utensils) but didn't need to use them much or at all as this kitchen is clearly used to cook in on a regular basis. The bathrooms were well stocked with all the essentials; towels, Native Shampoo/Conditioner, toilet paper and hand soap.The outdoor space was very well thought out with multiple areas to hang out and have fires at night. The dock/beach are in fantastic condition and were enjoyed by all of us throughout the week. We also rented a pontoon since we were able to use the dock and that made our week that much more enjoyable, why stay on a lake in the Summer unless you plan on boating, right? It was definitely a plus when deciding on where we wanted to stay as we were planning this vacation. The owners were very responsive throughout our stay as a few questions arose, one being the seemingly spotty WiFi in the bunkhouse above the garage, they were able to walk us through where to find the router etc to try and fix the issue. All in all we had a wonderful week and would definitely stay here again!
Great property, great location. Hosts are fantastic. We had a guys golf weekend and it was perfect spot as it was near on the courses. Highly recommend!
We had 4 families staying here and there was plenty of space for all. The outdoor space is amazing. Loved the dock and water access. The new lift to the dock was great for hauling stuff and people up and down. Owners were very responsive. House was clean and well stocked.
This house has everything you need for a great time with your large group. Beautiful landscaping with two fire pit locations. The views are spectacular from the large deck. We spent most of our time on the water or on the deck. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking your own meals. The ping pong table was a big hit and there is a great green space for games, etc. I would definitely recommend this home for a getaway on Gull Lake.
Excellent experience. Perfect location for a northern Minnesota lake vacation.
Marvelous house and property for a northern Minnesota lake vacation. Our two families desired a fall lake trip to fish, golf, relax, enjoy the scenery and enjoy many camp fires and this more than fit the bill. Great lake access with a nearby public boat launch. We would definitely stay again.
We are a 3 generation family with children as young as 10 months. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space,
but also great gathering areas both inside and outside. Loved the fire ring, eating on the decks, and the grassy areas for lawn games. Fishing from the dock was a highlight for the kids. Dawn and Tim (the owners) are great to work with and very prompt in responses to any questions. Would definitely like to come back another time as the beauty of the setting is very impressive. We heard and saw loons on the lake every day!
We spent a wonderful week reconnecting with our family at this beautiful lake home on Gull Lake. We have been coming to Brainerd as a family since our kids were little, and it was great to enjoy time together as adults, especially watching our grandson catch his first fish off the dock and enjoying his introduction to lake life.
The house is beautifully appointed, and the layout and amount of space was perfect (more than enough!) for our family of 9. With a beautiful weather week, we especially enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake, the beautiful lawn for yard games, fire pit(s) for bonfires, and, when the weather turned a little too toasty, we enjoyed the ample open concept gathering space of the family room in air-cooled comfort.
We would highly recommend this property for a memorable getaway!
Had an absolutely wonderful week with my wifeâs family from out of town. Property is gorgeous and well maintained, house has ample space, large open floor plan which was great for meal prep and hanging out, full wrap around deck off living room with great views of the lake. Some stairs down to the water but tram was very helpful for our bags/supplies etc, rented a boat and kept it at their dock which was great. Sandy bottom surrounding dock w stairs off dock for getting in and out of kayaks (we brought). Great location super close to quarterdeck (great outdoor bar/restaraubr/beach). Overall couldnât have been happier, highly recommend, owners were very immeadiatelt responsive to the few questions we had. Will be back next year!
We loved our stay at the Gull Lake Cabin! The home itself is well-appointed, spacious, and perfect for multiple families! It is in immaculate condition and the photos do not do it justice. The property has so many things to offer, from direct access to the lake and private dock, to the beautiful decks, fire pits, and amazing views, not to mention the gorgeous landscaped lawn. We had easy access to the surrounding amenities, although we were perfectly happy to stay at home or on the lake the entire time. Finally, the owners were extremely accessible and accommodating. This was our first Minnesota lake vacation but will not be our last!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had a beautiful elevated view of the lake with wonderful sunrises off the deck. We occasionally needed the A/C which worked quickly to cool off the place. The kitchen worked well for our group, though we did usually eat out around the lake. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. The main living room was large and comfy for use to gather at night. We mainly used the lakeside fire pit (nightly) to see the lake thru the evenings and listen to the lake sounds.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend this place.
Spent a great week on Gull Lake with 11 family members. View from the deck on the hill is wonderful. Lots of room for outdoor activities, great dock and fire pits.

Great Beautiful Outdoor Space!
We enjoyed our stay in mid September, the home was spacious and accommodating. The home sleeps 15 people, and we found some kitchen supplies did not support this many people. The stove in the bunk house did not work. Our weather for the weekend was very warm, the air conditioning did not work. We connected with the owners and they commented "sorry we need to replace the entire system, we hope its not to bad". Our group spent $$ on fans to make it comfortable for the weekend.
We have rented many properties of this size and the value in it's current condition was not there.
