Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and comfy beds. We hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend. Warm regards!
We truly enjoyed our stay on Gull Lake. The home was beautiful and every room had a view. We enjoyed to wood-burning fireplace while playing monopoly and the copper-footed tub was so relaxing. It was clean, and check in/check out was easy. We will be back!

Thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time during your stay. It's great to know that the house met your expectations, especially the clean condition and the amazing views of the lake!
We had a wonderful stay! We stayed at this property for a month and hated to leave! Plenty of room for all our visitors, everything we needed as far as household items were there. The view of the lake was amazing! A few minor problems arose, but the host took care of them immediately! I would definitely recommend this property!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your month-long stay and that the home had everything you needed. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad we could resolve any minor issues quickly for you. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Nice stay, just a lot of little things. Outside patio's not cleaned. Storm hit the first night told them the chairs on the dock blew in the lake. We got them out but 2 were broke. Never came to get them or replace. Broken steps on the way to lake, did not come to fix. Batteries in the lift needed to be replaced so it could be operated from inside, never came to replace them. Not enough towels in bathrooms for the number of people. Only had 2 small rolls of paper towel for the week and one kitchen towel. Lost power one night did not find any flashlights. No outside games or anything to do. Too much money for what we got. Should include a pontoon for that money.
