DOCK REMOVAL:
We want to inform you that the scheduling of dock installation and removal at our Gull Lake property is subject to both weather conditions and dock service availability. Generally, we aim to have the docks in place for your enjoyment from late spring through early fall. However, as the cooler months approach and ice formation on the lake becomes likely, we arrange for the docks to be removed to ensure safety and maintain the quality of our facilities. This usually happens in late fall, but precise timing may vary from year to year based on weather forecasts and the schedule of our dock service providers. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding this seasonal adjustment. Thank you.
Interaction with Guests:
We believe in giving our guests the space and privacy they desire during their stay. However, rest assured that we are usually close by and readily available when needed to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience at our lakeside retreat.
