Lakefront home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, great for groups up to 10

This home features an open concept layout, with a well stocked kitchen, family room with smart TV, dining room and sunroom all open to the full-height windows giving you a great view of the lake all day long.

Washer and Dryer are available for use on premises.

Outside we have a tree swing for the kids that looks out onto the beautiful sandy bottomed swim area next to the dock. The water is only a 1-2 feet deep at the entrance, making it perfect for your little ones. Enjoy taking out our standup paddle boards (2), our kayaks (2 kids, 1 adult, 1 tandem), and experience great fishing right off of our dock.

Dock features a sitting area at the end - perfect for a morning cup of coffee or evening drink while you enjoy watching the swan and heron who love to visit.

Enjoy your evenings lakeside around the fire pit, hanging out at night and cooking s'mores, or use the large yard as a great place for yard games.

Looking to enjoy time out on the water? Ask about renting our 25’ Tritoon and 2 jet skis during your stay! Great for exploring the lake or tubing with the kids.

Parking is available for up to 3+ vehicles.

Other amenities include Gun Lake Park a 2 minute drive away and the State Park only a 10 minute drive, or a 3 minute boat ride away which features a sandy beach, inflatable water slide, and an ice cream shop!

Wonderful lake property

The house was a perfect spot for our family vacation. Dated, but clean and perfect for a lake vacation. Nice open spaces in the dining room and sun porch. Quick communication and lots of lake toys and chairs to use.

Great summer spot

Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, a well stocked kitchen and roomy enough spaces for a group. We enjoyed the water, the kayaks, the paddle boards and the floatation devices. So happy with the air conditioning as it was hot a humid when we stayed. Our family enjoyed the swing with our grandson.

The house is well kept and right on Gun Lake. It was perfect for what we wanted. There was plenty of space, beautiful views, nice yard and dock. Our host Mark was very nice and always available. Very easy to work with. It was difficult to leave such a nice place.

Beautiful View!

This property has a beautiful view and we had a wonderful time. The neighborhood is very peaceful and that is exactly what we needed. The pontoon and the house were very clean and nice. The house has everything in it that you could possibly need. That made packing so much easier. We can't wait to rent it again!

Fun time

We had a great 3 nights at the cottage. Kitchen was well stocked, water toys and pontoon rental was appreciated and Mark was a great communicator. The reason we did not give 5 stars is because the cottage is dated and the sun porch is musty.

Roomy Lakefront

We enjoyed our stay at this lakefront home very much. The living spaces are very roomy, with lovely views of the lake. The home was clean. The kitchen provided everything we needed and more. The outside deck and tree swing are perfect--my grandkids (all under 4) really enjoyed the swing. The local grocery store is only 5 minutes away, which was convenient. The home is on a very quiet street just off the main road. All in all this is a fine property to stay in for a Gun Lake vacation!

Beautiful location

This cottage is in a great location, close to everything with a great view. It leaves a little to be desired when it comes to the house itself. It is very dated and has uneven floors. Luxurious it is not. However, it suited our needs well and we had a great time. Mark is a good host and a good neighbor to his neighbors on the lakeshore.

Perfect lakeside cottage

This Gun Lake cottage was the perfect place for our family of 4 and pup. Two separate bedrooms with bunk beds for the kids, plenty of room to spread out and relax in either the family room, enclosed porch, or backyard over looking the lake. The kitchen and dining areas offered ample space to entertain, and the cottage was well stocked with all of the utensils and paper supplies we needed for the week. Our family enjoyed using the included kayaks & paddleboards, and renting the available pontoon boat and jet skis for a couple days were a nice bonus to our memerable vacation. Mark was a great host and communicated details promptly and efficiently. We hope to be able to return again in the future!

Awesome lake house

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was thoughtfully stocked with lake gear like paddle boards, lawn chairs, and beach towels. Great location to sit around the campfire and enjoy the lake view. The living room is huge and comfortable. We hope to come back again. Thank you Mark for the cool place.

Cottage On Gun Lake

We had a wonderful time at Mark's cottage. All the stuff to make your visit comfortable is supplied plus a lot of extras. Very comfortable beds, great chairs on the porch and outside. Good dock for boats and fishing. The cottage has beach towels and a large supply of regular towels, paddle boards, and a bunch of water toys. The three kids were in the lake pretty much if they were awake. Great escape from normal life for kids and the entire family. Nice quiet location, great neighborhood and the lake is quiet in this bay - not a lot of boat traffic so good for Paddle boards and others non-motorized activities Close to grocery store, restaurants - don't miss the Curly Cone! We hope to make it back in the fall for a week and will definitely return next summer. Most comfortable place we have rented at Gun Lake. Highly recommend. .

Perfect for families

This house is absolutely amazing! Very spacious and comfortable. We had such a great time on the lake and then played games inside all night. The home has a very comfortable feel to it and the view is spectacular. I’d highly recommend staying here with family. The owner was also very nice and accommodating. He also quickly answered my questions.

A little slice of Heaven!

Great hosts! Everything was provided, we only needed clothes and food. We definitely overpacked lol. We loved fishing and swimming from the boat and the dock. Evenings were spent sitting by the fire and watching a spectacular sky. I wish we could include the photos we took. This cottage is everything we could ever want and we can't wait to do it again next year.

We loved our stay at this property. The sunroom was awesome with its wrap around views of the lake. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet close to the grocery and places to eat. Beds were comfortable, kitchen is huge and had everything we needed. Very comfy chairs in the sunroom and in the living room. We are going back in July and can't wait to stay again. Thanks for having us.
