Newly Remodeled 6 Bedroom Retreat on West Gull Lake

This newly remodeled 6 bedroom, (10 bed)/4.5 bath north woods retreat is the perfect getaway for a family reunion. Visit YouTube and search “Gull Lake Cabin- Nisswa, MN” to view a drone video of our Gull Lake cabin. The main cabin has 4 bedrooms, each with a lake view. The primary bedroom has a king bed and the other 3 have a queen bed (one bedroom includes an additional full/twin bunk bed). The newly renovated bunkhouse, located above the garage, has expansive Gull Lake views and includes 2 bedrooms (each with a queen), a full kitchen, full bath and a living room with a king pullout.

Enter off of County Road 77 onto a circle drive which divides the main cabin from the bunkhouse and surrounds the large landscaped fire ring. Enter the main cabin off the raised deck with built-in seating and an outdoor dining area. The great room includes two 8 foot sofas and the stone wood burning fire place. A bedroom is located on each side of the great room. The bedrooms and great room all have beautiful lake views. Off the great room is a large wrap around lake side deck with elevated panoramic views of Gull Lake. This lake side deck has two bar height tables with seating for 8 and a comfortable 2 person raised Adirondack chair. The lake side deck also overlooks the expansive lake side landscaped patio with fire pit.

The walkout lower level of the main cabin is accessed from the great room staircase and from the lake side patio. This level includes a lounge area with a stone wood burning fireplace and bedrooms on each side of the main room. The main room and bedrooms all have lake views. This level includes a laundry room and newly remodeled full bathroom. An additional refrigerator is also located on this level.

A new hill climber provides an alternative ride down to the dock/lake/beach if you chose to skip the 69 step winding staircase (see photo).

The dock includes a 30’ section where you can tie up a rented boat or your own boat that can be launched at the Quarterdeck Resort located just a few cabins south of our cabin.

The property is sprayed for mosquitos throughout the season.

Outstanding in all ways

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.

Beautiful property with lovely lake view. Beach area is a plus. If you have a larger family and use the bunkhouse it does not have air conditioning. Also this year there was construction next door and depending on what they are working on can be distracting. We had a great family vacation. Rented a boat and all had a blast swimming off the docks. Location is great.

Great property and accommodations. The views were great. Nice fire pit for s’mores and family gathering. Everything was clean and properly stocked. We got rained out with high choppy weather two days so we didn’t experience as much of a “lake” 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.

Family Reunion

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.

Lovely Week at the Lake

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 Gull Lake Cabin for multiple families

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.

Perfect vacation home!

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.

Great experience---wonderful setting!

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!

Beautiful property

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!

Amazing gull lake retreat

Had an absolutely wonderful week with my wife’s 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 couldn’t have been happier, highly recommend, owners were very immeadiatelt responsive to the few questions we had. Will be back next year!

Great Home Base for a Great Lake Vacation

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!
