Luxury Family Lake Home-Hot tub, Sauna, Peloton, Game Tables, Mini Sport Court!

Stunning custom-built 4200 SF luxury lake house with over 100 feet of lake frontage with private dock on exquisitely clear Gladstone Lake!

This gorgeous home has it all! Outdoor recreation, games, paddleboards, kayaks, indoor game tables with ping pong, air hockey, billiards and foosball, Ms. Pac-Man arcade game table, an indoor mini sport court, a home gym, a hot tub, and an indoor sauna!! All while offering a relaxed and intimate space for families with spectacular views. Whether you are hoping to relax and enjoy the view of the lake while sipping coffee on the 3-season porch, enjoying lake recreation (swimming, boating, fishing) on this exceptionally clear water, or you are eager to hit the biking trails of the famous Paul Bunyan trailhead, this lake house is the perfect place for you!

Upon entering the Gladstone you’ll be instantly drawn to the floor to ceiling windows capturing panoramic views of Gladstone Lake. The great room boasts a 2-story stone fireplace with seating for group gatherings. The gorgeous gourmet kitchen will impress with two islands each with a sink for food prep, top of the line appliances including two ovens, dishwasher, and extra large Professional series refrigerator, and is fully equipped with all the basic cooking tools- ready for several cooks in the kitchen or your private chef! Enjoy lake views from the dining table that seats 10 or more with additional seating at the island counter. There is plenty of space to make family dinners, bake cookies, or play board games. Off the dining room is a 3-season porch, which also has a deck with a BBQ for grilling.

Adjoining the kitchen and dining room is the living room which boasts a smart TV to stream your favorite movies and shows or relax with a glass of wine in front of the stunning 2-story stone electric fireplace. Sink into the comfy sectional with a cup of coffee, a great book, or a little nap. The spacious bedrooms include brand new furniture, luxurious bedding, and sizeable bathrooms. The main level features the master bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the lake, and a private bathroom. A private den on the main floor offers extra space with a queen sleeper, next to the main floor powder room. Upstairs features two large bedrooms, one with a king bed and child bed “nook”, and the other bedroom with one queen and two twin beds. The full upstairs bathroom includes a sink, toilet and shower/bathtub. Downstairs bedroom features a queen size bed and lake views and a full bath on the lower level. Washer and dryers are located on BOTH the main and basement floors.

The lower-level has a second kitchen with counter seating, a living room space with sleeper sofa and 65” TV, and a 3-1 game table with ping pong, air hockey, and billiards--all with amazing lake views!

Ready to keep fit, relax, and rejuvenate? The lower-level also has a private gym equipped with a Peloton treadmill, yoga mats, free weights, and an indoor hot sauna! Of course, you'll want to head outdoors to soak in the heated hot tub.

On the lower level, look for the sliding door to the indoor mini sport court! This super cool kids area allows them to play indoor knee hockey, dodgeball, or shinny/knee games in a contained area built just for them.

The home is fully equipped with WiFi and Sonos. With the Sonos app you can listen to your favorite tunes throughout the house.

From a day out on the lake to relaxing in the hot tub and sauna, to cooking up a feast for your whole crew in our gourmet kitchen, you can be assured you’ll make memories to last.

The Great Outdoors
Step outside to the crystal clear lake and beautifully landscaped yard- perfect for corn hole, ladders, and bocce ball. In the evenings enjoy roasting smores at the campfire on the paved- built-in firepit.

Gladstone lake is known for great fishing! It has a sandy bottom to swim, tube, water ski, or relax and enjoy. Enjoy boating, fishing, swimming and entertaining family and friends. Jump into the lake or dock your boat at our private dock. Kayaks and Paddle Boards are available for your recreational use. There is a public access nearby for launching your boat (or fish house in the winter). In the Fall you’ll enjoy the beautiful foliage colors with the ability to get out in nature through nearby walking trails.

Pontoon available for rent! It’s wonderful to have a boat to go explore the lake and beach. Bring your own, or rent our 9-person Bennington pontoon during your stay. Email us for more details!

Looking for an amazing family WINTER RETREAT? In the Winter you’ll enjoy outdoor snow fun, minutes from snowmobile trails, great ice fishing and at the end of the day cozying up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa! Enjoy a wellness retreat working out in the home gym equipped with Peloton treadmill, weights, and streaming classes, then hit the outdoor jacuzzi - heated year round- and an indoor hot sauna is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the indoors. The kids will be busy with multiple game tables, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, Ms. Pac-Man, and an Indoor Mini Sports Court- perfect for a dodgeball tournament and burning off some energy!

Amazing Family Vacation Spot
We rented this house for a week with extended family (5 adults + 3 kids) and it was perfect! We played in the water every day - the lake was great and very comfortable to swim in. The kids had a blast learning to kayak, paddleboard, and fish. We had plenty of room to spread out but also enough space to gather together in the kitchen/main living space. Our kids dubbed this house "The Adventure House" and we'll be reliving our wonderful summer memories for many years!

Beautiful property on a quiet lake
A true gem! We stayed at the Gladstone for five nights with my parents, siblings and their families. The house was clean, spacious, and slept everyone comfortably. The extra amenities like the hot tub, sport court and game tables were a hit with the kids! The kitchen was well equipped and the screened in porch was a perfect place to unwind to watch the beautiful sunset after a day on the lake. I would highly recommend staying at the Gladstone for your next getaway.

Family Time
From start to finish this property was just as it was listed....Beautiful, immaculate, views forever of this tranquil lake. We made so many memories between, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sitting around a fire at night, and hot tub. Games forever we even had our own Olympic games in honor of the Paris games and laughed so hard. grocery store within 9 minutes along with bait & tackle and a coffee house. A much needed vacation with all of the amenities..

Anniversary celebration
Gladstone House was a wonderful place for our family to bond. Our adult kids and our grandkids loved all the options. There was much time spent in the water and on the pontoon, in the hot tub and the sauna, and around the campfire. We loved spending time in the screened in porch.

Wonderful vacation
We take a three generation family vacation yearly, eleven people ages 77 yr to 2 yrs old. By far this house was the best! Well stocked with everything. A very nice welcome basket was waiting for us. The house and property are beautiful. The host was very responsive to all our inquiries. We always go to new places each yr, but the house may make us reconsider.

Best in Brainerd
We had the best time up north ever at The Gladstone. The hot tub, sauna, and game table (air hockey!) all were perfect additions to days on the lake. We even took advantage of the telescope to show the kids the moon. Could not recommend the space more highly.

Amazing
Gorgeous house with great amenities. We had such a great time. Enjoyed the view and game room. The house was super clean and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gladstone. We all said we will be back. There was something for everyone. I would recommend staying at the Gladstone all 4 seasons. The sport court was spot on for our grandkids and all the games kept us all busy. Thank you for the best time even with temps below zero.

Gorgeous home!
Our family of nine, ages 1 to 80, had a wonderful time at this lovely lake home. We enjoyed: games inside and out (had a tournament involving 6 outdoor games); comfy furniture and beds, well-equipped kitchen, screen porch. The home was spotless; the host was easy to communicate with. Everything was as advertised or better.

Ahhhmazing Girls Getaway!
Myself and six girlfriends stayed at the Gladstone in December. It was meant to be a relaxing getaway before the craziness of Christmas started and it did not disappoint! We got a welcome email with the door code, wifi password and the name and number of a contact person prior to arrival, which made check-in super easy. The house was big enough for everyone to have their own space, but furnished in a way that maked it feel cozy and welcoming. The house could easily fit three families without feeling crowded and it seemed like the hosts thought of everything from a well stocked kitchen (we did some holiday baking...yum) to beach towels and robes for going out to the hot tub (it was winter after all) and a cute basket in the laundry room with anything you might have forgotten! The hot tub was the perfect place to relax at the end of the day with a beautiful view out onto the lake or up at the stars. The workout room, sauna, and game room were added bonuses. I just can't say enough good things about this place. We have already decided to make a trip to the Gladstone an annual winter getaway for the ladies and we are hoping to find a week in the summer to bring our families. Thank you for a great stay...we will definitely be back!
