About this property

Book Your Summer Vacation Today!

Beautiful, newly remodeled 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath cabin with a loft and screened in porch located directly on the north side of Gladstone Lake. With the loft, the cabin sleeps 7 comfortably. The cabin is situated 30 ft from the lake. It is an easy walk with a gradual slope down to the sandy beach. Enjoy gorgeous, breath taking sunsets in the evening. The cabin is located in the heart of the beautiful and historical Brainerd Lakes Area. The cabin is just minutes south of Nisswa but only 10 miles north of Brainerd. 

Gladstone lake has a sandy bottom to swim, tube, water ski, or relax and enjoy. No muck on the bottom. Enjoy fishing and lakeside campfires or just relaxing in the screened in porch. Practice your golf game at the cabin with a one-hole coarse. Fairway with a dog leg to the right. Or practice your chipping, before heading to one of many gorgeous and well known golf courses. The Nisswa and Brainerd area are known for the fine dining, shopping and many activities for kids of all ages. There are over 15 well known golf courses within 20 minutes of the cabin. There are several activities for the kids to enjoy while mom or dad are golfing. Beside swimming at the cabin, head into Brainerd where the kids can drive the go-carts, play mini golf, rent out the batting cages, and participate in the famous Turtle Races that are held every Wednesday at noon during the Summer months.  The Cabin is also located just off the Bike Trail that goes from Brainerd to Pequot Lakes. Games on the property for use and entertainment include, croquet, bocce ball, badminton, bean bag toss, tubes for relaxing in the lake or tubing behind a boat. Also a swing set with climbing wall, swings, slide. Inside activities include, 5 different game boards, cribbage board, deck of cards, yahtzee.

The cabin has a fully functional kitchen with all new and modern appliances. Sorry no dishwasher. It is fully stocked with all the kitchen essentials; all you need to do is provide the food! The floor plan includes an open living room. The master bedroom is located on the main level and the loft has three single beds in it. The cabin does come with the essential bedding for each bed. I also provide bath towels, wash clothes to be used inside the house. I do have a 55in TV in the living room and a 42in TV in the loft entertainment area. Both are hooked up to cable. There is a regular DVD player provided as well. Bring your own PS4 or Xbox. The cabin has a wall A/C unit downstairs in the living room and one in the loft.  Along with a grill, right outside the front door. The guest will have access to the full cabin. Beautiful property with over 4 1/2 acres of land. 220 ft of lake shore. You will also be able to get into the storage unit for all outside games, life jackets, etc.

The loft is multi-level that includes a 12' x 12' entrainment room for the kids. There is a secluded hidden play room for the kids to make into their vacation fort. There is a Kayaks to use on the property. Bring your own boat or you can rent mine. I have a boat lift at the dock for rent during your stay as well. The boat has a 25 hp motor, live well, and removable seats. Also have a pontoon to rent. It is a fish and pleasure pontoon. 21 ft. pontoon with a 60 hp, 4stroke motor, holds 12 people, fish locator, life jackets. All you need is fishing pole or have a relaxing time on the lake cruising around. Please call for additional pricing details on the boat lift, fishing boat, two jet ski's or pontoon.

The cabin is available to rent (can include boat lift, pontoon, jet ski's or fishing boat) starting April 1 - October 31, for 2-5 guests. Anything over 5 guests, please call me for pricing. Small dogs are welcome for an additional fee. Please email or call for reservations.

Our new vacation spot
We were excited for our north cabin stay however we didn’t know we were going to fall in love with the location and cabin and amenities. Everything was exactly what we needed and Ron was fantastic to communicate with. We look forward to coming back year after year.

Lakeside retreat
Lovely week at this lakeside cabin. We enjoyed just relaxing at the cabin, time on the dock and in the lake. Good hiking at Northland Arboretum in Baxter, Crow Wing SP and Father Hennepin SP. Also walked along the road daily with our little dog. Thank you Ron and Jodi.

Great location
We stayed at Ron's cabin for a week with our teenager and a dog. The cabin is updated and had all of the things mentioned. The weather was perfect, the water was clear, the lake is a shallower lake (max. depth 25 ft) with some weeds, it is in a very quiet area where you can walk on the road with minimal cars going by. The public boat dock was very close, and we could use Ron's dock to tie our boat up. Nisswa was a short 5-10 min. drive if you wanted to go into town. It was easy to communicate with Ron as his home is also on the property. We would stay again.

Infested
Do not stay here!! This play is infested with Asian lady beetles. They are everywhere (literally hundreds), bite and will stain your belongings. The owner was communicative prior to us arriving. Once we let him know about the issue he never responded. We stayed for literally 1 hour then had to leave because of how bad the issue was. We left in the middle of the night during a storm. Vrbo has not issued us a refund either.

Very Cold
The property was neat and clean and on a beautiful lake in the owners back yard. The heater was not working and it was cold. The owner brought a space heater it just didn’t reach all the rooms. It was very cold and my 85 year old mother was uncomfortable and unhappy. It was late at night so we didn’t feel right asking for more help. My mom wanted to go home in the morning. The owner felt he could have fixed the situation, but my mom was already frozen and he would need a space heater in every room. We asked for some reimbursement for the second night. The listing said heat and I believe he knew it was broken when we booked, but the owner didn’t answer our message. That feels very unfriendly. It was my mom’s first time out, in many years, after healing from a brain tumor. It was just a bummer.

Wonderful place for a 3 day getaway. Nice view of the lake from the living room. We enjoyed fishing from our kayaks on this clear lake. Saw loons, trumpeter swans, geese, eagles and caught some nice fish. Ron is a great host and very accommodating. Easy drive into town for shopping and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Odash

Host profile image
As a child growing up in Brainerd, I knew I would always be connected to this beautiful area. In 1979 my parents purchased this property, and in 1995 I was privileged to take over the ownership and continue the legacy. I am a lake lover and appreciate all the opportunities that Gladstone Lake and the Brainerd Lakes area have to offer.

Why they chose this property

A fun fact about this property--there once was a Rock Shop run in the adjacent building. The proprietor collected agates and rare stones from near and far. His business was open on an "customer present" basis, and his love of rocks was passed down to many generations of area visitors. He never tired of greeting the Gladstone Lake Road children, and helping them find the perfect agate for their pocket full of change.

What makes this property unique

For starters--waking up with morning coffee at the Bistro table, listening to the call of the loons while the sunrise illuminates the lake. With it's unique lake-side setting, you'll feel one with the beauty of the lake and the unfolding of nature. Plenty of room to play and romp outdoors, plus creatively designed spaces inside to give every person a place to call their own. Rainy day? No worries--you'll love the loft with it's game-ready TV and entertainment system. And remember, Nisswa is just a bike ride away if the call of award winning ice-cream and turtle races catches your fancy!
