Spacious, bright & modern Gull Lake home - gentle elevation, sand beach, sunsets

**2024 - we will open our 2024 calendar in late December 2023 once we hear from returning guests. If you're interested in our waitlist, please send a booking request for your preferred dates. Thank you **

Come make memories at the 6,600 sq. ft. Lakeshore house! Our spacious yet intimate, bright and modern home on the North end and East shoreline of Gull Lake is uniquely equipped to handle your large family, or multiple families, in a single house.

MAIN LEVEL
A welcoming foyer and a functional mudroom (off the garage) greet all who enter, but the expansive views of Gull Lake really steal the show. Everyone seems to gather in the kitchen, and you will love the hub of our home. Double ovens, double refrigerators, double dishwashers and a 10 foot island help this kitchen handle everything a big-group can throw its way. With an adjoining screened-in porch as well as a sunny great room with electric fireplace and 65" television, there is plenty of space for everyone. A TV/exercise/playroom is just off the great room, but still private with its frosted-glass French doors. Grab a book and enjoy the gas fireplace in the reading room/office, also off the main-level great room and separated by frosted-glass French doors. Both the great room and the reading room access our Westerly-facing deck. Step outside to fire-up the BBQ or just enjoy a beautiful up-North sunset. The half-bath rounds-out the layout of the main level.

UPSTAIRS
The "treehouse" with its two ensuite bedrooms awaits those who enjoy the perch. Our roomy primary suite overlooks the lake but is a private sanctuary. An additional ensuite with two twin XL beds is down the hallway and enjoys a view of the wooded East side of the property. A storage closet with washer and dryer complete the upstairs level.

LAKE LEVEL
This is where the fun is! Our convenient lake-level walkout lets you stay close to all the action of the lake. Facing the lake are three (3) bedrooms - 1 king, 1 queen + 1 California king. The California king room in an ensuite, while the other two share (along with the bunk room) the hall bathroom and the shower room. The interior bunk-room with its walk-in closet is the perfect place for those late-sleeping teenagers. Cards, dice, board games, and a television are available in the wet bar/game room for those late summer night gatherings. The unique shower room with its double sinks is the perfect place for a quick shower after a fun day in the sun. Throw your suits and towels in the laundry room right next door and enjoy the evening. The lake level sunroom is spacious enough to store all your water and sand toys.

OUTDOORS
Feel free to take out our two paddle boards and explore the bay. Plenty of parking is available in the driveway at the mail level with additional parking in front of the road-side garage. The gentle elevation of the lake-side of the property makes it easy to get back-and-forth from the dock to the house when necessity strikes. Our little sand beach and gently-sloping, sand bottom swimming area is perfect for all ages. Ample dock space is available to tie-up your boat or other water toys. A rock fire-pit with Adirondack chairs is the quintessential way to end those long summer nights.

Breathtaking!!
We had the best time at the Lake Shore cabin! It was exactly what we hoped and were able to make amazing memories with our family and friends. Jenn was so easy to work with. The house is beautiful and set up perfectly to enjoy time by yourself or with others. We cannot wait to come back!

Incredible property with all the amenities!
We had a such a magnificent stay at this property. The owners were kind and responsive to any questions that came up. The house is absolutely gorgeous and just as pictured. There were 5 adults and 3 children staying and we had more than enough room for us all. We had fantastic meals in the beautiful and plentiful kitchen and really enjoyed the open floor plan of the main floor. The basement was perfect for our kids and guests and the master suite was just perfect. There's really not a space in the home you won't love. Outside we enjoyed spending time in the screened in porch and played by the hour down by the water. The property was conveniently located close to a public water access and just a short boat ride to Zorbaz and other fun establishments along the water. This rental was everything we could have wanted and more. Most definitely an absolutely wonderful vacation full of memories that will last a lifetime.

Outstanding lakeside home and beautiful lake.
This is a beautiful, well-maintained property on a lovely lake. Six adults and three children stayed for a week. It was a comfortable and enjoyable time. The owners were highly responsive and gracious.

Amazing House on Gull Lake
We stayed with two other families and this house on Gull Lake is by far the best spot we’ve ever rented from up north! Absolutely beautiful property and the layout was perfect so every family had their own spot in the house. Jenn and Tony (the owners) were great to work with and we can’t wait to come back next summer!!

Land-of-lakes paradise
This house is large, beautiful, modern, updated, and comfortable and, best of all, is right on the shore of the gorgeous and huge Gull Lake. Most rooms have a panoramic view of the lake as do the decks. The open air deck is best for the day and to bbq, and we loved the screened-in deck, with its comfy couch and chairs, to watch moonlight on the lake water. The two-fridge, two-sink modern kitchen has everything you need and the largest kitchen island we had ever seen. The beds are super nice and there are two sets of washers and dryers. You have a private and shaded small beach, an outdoor fire pit, and a nice and sturdy private dock. We had a fantastic time with our family - can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Jenn and Tony

Host profile image
We're Tony and Jenn - a native East Coaster (Tony) and Minnesotan (Jenn) who are currently rearing our family of four children in southern California. Jenn grew up in Illinois but often visited Gull Lake; the place where her mom's family spent summers. In early 2017, we fell in love with this beautiful property and saw the potential in the large home that had undergone several renovations through the years. We were confident that we could transform the home into our dream home and make it something truly special for not only our family of six but also our extended families and friends. Over the winter of 2017/2018 we underwent an extensive renovation and fell in love the with house all over again. The home was transformed into a bright, modern and comfortable gathering place. As Californians, we aren't able to enjoy our home as often as we'd like, so we decided to share it with others - the way we used to before we purchased our home.

Why they chose this property

Location, lots of room to be together OR alone, and location! We love the Westerly views, the gentle elevation, the sandy gradual slope of the lake, the long dock and the perfect location (in our opinion) on Gull Lake.

What makes this property unique

Views from virtually every room (sorry bathrooms have no view), a large kitchen/dining/great room perfect for large groups to be together, and lots of other rooms to find privacy to play or work.
