Long Weekend Getsway

This rental was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. I am very picky about where I stay because I need it to be super clean and this was. The view was AMAZING! We rented a lift for our boat and it was literally steps away from our rental. I would rent this exact unit again when we return to Gull Lake.

The property, location, and access to Gull is fabulous. The carpets in the hallway up to 773 upper is awful and the condo carpet looks like a shampooing is overdue. Minor things really, I suppose, but worth a walk up those stairs by management to see what I mean. The place is quite good overall.

Nice location

Very basic. Clean but bathroom sink was stopped up. Condo needs more seating only enough room for 3 people to watch TV. It is close to road so hanging out the beach you hear a lot of loud traffic. You do not hear traffic in the condo.

Quick Stay, Good Location

We just had a one-night stay, but it was good! I can imagine in the summer how much fun this spot would be. I am a local, but my family gals are not, so they agreed that the spot directly on the water would be enjoyable later in the season. Beds were comfy, unit very clean. Only drawback was the seating in the living room area. It's very small. I noticed that online before eI booked, but knew we weren't spending a ton of time at the unit. There were 4 of us and only 3 spots. Just FYI. Other than that, the location close to Nisswa and then Brainerd just a short drive down the highway made for a great spot for home base.
