Lakehouse with watersports

Excellent location-Upper Gull Lake was ideal for watersports. We enjoyed a pontoon/ski/tube rental from Lake Fun Rentals that was only a 10 minute ride away. Loved seeing and hearing loons on the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks. Newly renovated cabin with well-thought out details. A/c unit in kitchen was so new that it was not yet hooked up; this will be very helpful for future guests that have 89 degree highs like we did! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Saved us! Great times, great place.

We needed someplace to put everyone before the fun begins this week and Kristy saved us! The place was great for our group, space to get together and space to chill as we were all on different schedules. You can tell that she's put a lot of work into the property while keeping the authentic resort cabin vibe. We will be making plans to come back when the water is wet!

Comfort & the great outdoors

This cabin was everything we wanted! Comfortable, beautiful and perfectly tucked away in the great outdoors. The views of the lake were wonderful. I cannot wait to book again. This time with my kids so we can enjoy loads of outdoor time on the lake and by the firepit. A definite keeper on my VRBO list.
