Family Summer Getaway

We try to get to the lake every summer with our adult kids and our grandkids. We love to boat and we love being on the water. This home is on a great location, easy to get to from the Twin Cities, and very convenient. Nicely furnished and appointed, and the property managers were excellent. Very responsive to our questions and providing great service. We would definitely return! The house had practically everything we needed for a great family vacation.

Beautiful property!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your property! The home is gorgeous and there was nothing more we could have wanted or needed. There was plenty of space for us, large enough to accomodate multiple games and activities. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and we couldn't have picked a more perfect time as the fall colors were spectacular! We did have a few questions during our stay and the property host was phenomenal with prompt responses. All of the above made for a wonderful family vacation. Thank you!!

Amazing cabin and location on Gull Lake 😍

Enjoyed our time at this cabin !! Very spacious and clean with lots of showers and bathrooms for everyone. The yard is very well maintained and super green grass ! The docks are amazing as well as the location of this cabin which is right next to a bay where you can water ski and tube with very little boat traffic. Loved to go to Ernie's to eat dinner on the lake with good food and services. Also enjoyed playing ping pong 🏓 in the basement after dark. !!!!! Would love to come back next year again 😍. So much to do - very fun family summer vacation !

Beautiful getaway with friends

Your home was amazing! Very large and many options of space so we were not on top of each other. The basement became the entertaining area for the younger adults. The outdoor space was great, deck in the morning to catch the sun during breakfast, fire pit for after hours and the dock for fishing, kayaking and just catching the afternoon sun. Having an extra kitchen worked well since one couple has serious food allergies and we were able to keep their food separate from the rest. Thank you!

Fall getaway

House and grounds were gorgeous. Lots of space for the group to hang out in different areas both indoors and out. The only suggestions that I have is that housekeeping keep an eye on hand soap in bathroom areas as this needed refills as well as washcloths. We did notify the manager and washcloths were brought to the home, we moved soap dispensers to areas of need. As we were an older group that are somewhat technically challenged we were unable to navigate the tv systems in the home until our last evening so maybe step by step directions might have helped. This isn’t a negative on the house just that we couldn’t figure it out. We had a wonderful time and we would highly recommend this property the views are beautiful from the decks as well as many of rooms on the lakeside of the home. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. Nisswa is a beautiful place and a very welcoming community. Totally enjoyed browsing the shops downtown and the restaurants staff were so friendly. Hope to be able to return again.

Wonderful stay on Wilson Bay

The layout of this house is PERFECT for families big or small. The separate entrance makes it so easy to clean up after time on their beautiful beach. If you have kids, this property is set up and stocked to keep them going all day long. The huge deck provides great views and the right mix of shade and sun. The kitchen has the basics and there is ample space to store all of your supplies while you’re there. Serene Quarters was so great - quick to respond to anything we needed; wished they managed all of the properties on vrbo.

Wonderful house for families

We loved our stay at Serene. It was the perfect spot for kids to run around outside, okay in the sand and enjoy. Manager if property was responsive and super helpful. We also loved the location the the lake. Off the main lake but easy access. The only note for families is there are three bed up and three down. Families with little kids often like two rooms close by and on same floor. So with three families with small kids we actually had our kids in our room and didn’t use the bunk room at all. However, if your kids are a little older, it would be perfect (ours are under 3). We would highly recommend and hope to return one day.
