Our family included 8 adults and 6 children under age 10. When looking for a lake home to rent for a summer vacation with our whole family, we prioritized what we we’re looking for. Number One is a level lake lot. Next we want clean water with hard sandy lake bottom, and shallow water for youngest grandkids to play in. The dock is new and very safe. There is a sandy beach area for kids and a fire pit that controls the smoke! Also, you can’t even tell they have neighbors! When inside, you cannot hear hwy 371.
The location is close to Nisswa and Brainerd! But we never wanted to leave! So then we look at the lake home…this home is stunning! They have two extra refrigerator/freezers and a chest freezer in garage! You walk in and you see all the way to the lake through the great room windows! So impressive! They have big entries with plenty of space for all those shoes and sandals! There is a mud room AND a pantry!! The kitchen has two dishwashers, gas stove/oven, large table with lake views, and very large island with perfect stools especially for children. Two bedrooms have closets large enough for a crib. The mattresses are so comfortable and new! The sheets, pillows and comforter are so nice! The “play room” has ping pong table, a small kitchen, large couch and huge TV!
If you have a boat, you can get into Gull Lake chain of lakes, restaurants, etc. Round lake is a good fishing lake. It’s usually quiet- not much boat traffic nor jet skis. But get a lake map so you know depth and rock areas. We did not want to leave!
