Amazing Property

As advertised! Beautiful property on a beautiful lake. The home is well maintained and much nicer in person. Our party had 6 adults and there was room for more. We enjoyed the fire globe fire pit each evening on the beach while listening to the loons calling back and forth to each other…very relaxing. The “boys” even caught some fish!

Great Stay!

The house was beautiful inside and out, and the property is located directly on the lake with a dock, which is perfect if you’re renting a boat during your stay. Melanie was very professional and always prompt at answering my questions which was very helpful. I will say that the space is more suited for a maximum of 8 adults rather than 10, but we were able to figure out our sleeping arrangements with little problems. Overall, this was an awesome stay and would 100% come again.

Great home, great location

Very quiet secluded neighborhood. Beautiful home, everything is like new. Dock is on the Wilson Bay Area of Gull Lake so the water is calmer and more manageable for novice boaters. Would highly recommend this home for a family of four or five

Amazing property & beautiful location

Planned some getaway time with my mom and sisters and found this beautiful property. Its location in a neighborhood on Gull Lake is quiet, beautiful, and serene. The home itself is very lovely with wood vaulted ceilings, large windows, and amazing deck and porch spaces both at the house, and well as down on the sandy beach. The lake is clean and clear, and the landscaping is fantastic. There are bathrooms near all bedrooms, and nice indoor gathering spaces for games or conversations. The kitchen is well-equipped and works well for preparing meals or Happy Hours :) Some considerations:. You cannot use the fireplace which is unfortunate especially for colder weather times, and there are also quite a few stairs to get into the house itself, and again if someone is sleeping in either the Master bedroom (no hand railing to this room either which is challenging even when you have good mobility) or to get into the lower level room/TV room (only one bedroom on the main floor). Otherwise a wonderful stay in a very beautiful home!

Beautiful lake view

Beautiful home with lots of potential. In my opinion the “sleeps 10” should be taken with a grain of salt. There are 3 bedrooms- 1 king, 1 queen and two twins downstairs. There are two twins in an open loft overlooking the king bed. However- the straight ladder to reach it advises a 150 pound limit, the opening is very small and the ladder itself has more dowels than an actual flat step. Perhaps kids from 6-12 years may fit. To sleep up to 10 there are apparently two air mattresses for use. I’m not sure where these could even be placed as there is very little floor space. For the most part weather was good; one chilly night but not being able to use the fireplace is disappointing as it is a listed amenity. But, in the house rules it is very firmly stated that it is not to be used. The screened porch was a lovely surprise as there were no pictures on the site. We spent a great deal of time there; no mosquitoes and great views. We loved the area, but due to these and other contradicting rules and confusing issues we wouldn’t return to this particular property.

Great Lake House on Gull Lake

We had a great stay at this lake house. Very clean and lots of space for 10 people. Only thing that was a surprise was the 2 twin beds located in the lofted space above the master bedroom. I would recommend staying here and will definitely book this house again if we head that way.

Spectacular Gull Lake Stay

There are not enough great things that I can say about this property. This stunning home is located on a peninsula just south of squaw point sand bar on Gull Lake. We took in the panoramic views from the elevated deck and enjoyed the sunsets from the beach level bonfire pit. The kitchen was well appointed and made meal prep for the group a breeze. Melanie was super easy to work with and had all of her ducks in a row which made for easy in/out of the property. Overall, this house was immaculate and a gem of a find. We would stay here again in a second.

Beautiful Gull Lake Cabin

We had an absolutely perfect Up North MN cabin weekend. Place is beautiful with a great location on Gull with beach and campfire right by lake. We loved the house too, with a great layout, plenty of room and very clean. Restaurants close by boat and nice dock to leave boat tied to. Communication and information provided by owner was clear and easy to follow. Would highly recommend this property in this great Lakes Region of Minnesota.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie A. Miller

My grandparents once owned a home on Gull Lake and I spent almost all of my summers their. It's such a special place, that I bought my own to share with my son's who are 16 and 5.

Although I grew up in a different state I know generations who come back from all over the world to experience the beauty and peace of the Lake. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

This home is situated on one of the best locations of the lake and has a reputation of a lovely neighborhood. It is on a culdesac and has views of both sides of the lake. Unusual on the lake. When it is calm on the lake on one side, it may be windy on the other.

The house has a beauty that I was floored by than any other property, including my grandparents home.
