About this property

Beautiful New Home On Private Lake Across From Gull Lake And Other Local Spots!

This fabulous lodge features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 8 people. This Northern Gull Retreat is extremely secluded on it's own private, 25 acre lake with extensive outdoor space, all while being within walking distance to Gull Lake, Bar Harbor Supper club, Cowboys, and Zorbaz with Grandview Lodge 1.5 miles away. The perfect year round family location in the Gull Lakes area.

As you enter the 200 yard white pine adorned driveway, you will know you have left the hustle and bustle of the city and entered your own private northern wonderland complete with your own private lake. Lone Lake Lodge beautifully blends the comfort of an “Up North Cabin” experience with the modern conveniences of a gas fireplace, 2 big screen TV’s with Roku and Dish Network, indoor/outdoor home audio system, washer/dryer, wireless high-speed internet, outdoor gas grill and much more. Bring your clothes and we will provide the rest.

The custom design interior features 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms 3 king (with one that becomes twin beds) beds and a bunk-room with a day bed and trundle perfect for kids. A fully-stocked large kitchen with attached great room including a gas fireplace keeps everything and eveyone in one spot. The lodge also has a full laundry room, screened-in porch with a table and 8 chairs, and a large downstairs family room/game room with a foosball table. The kids can be downstairs while the adults have their private space. The outdoor area includes a large patio with a fire pit, 8 adirondack chairs, large gas grill, and a private driveway with plenty of parking.

Lone Lake Lodge is nestled in a large 150 acre wooded area and includes its own small, private swimming lake (22acres) equipped with a dock, ladder, bench, paddle board, paddleboat, small non motorized fishing boat, and Kayak. There is no beach on Lone Lake keeping with the natural serenity of the surroundings. The property backs up to Fritz Loven park with miles of hiking trails and cross country skiing right in the backyard. The lake is perfect for swimming, and paddle boarding in the summer, or skating, and cross country skiing in the winter. Some of the best snowmobiling trails in the country are located just a few miles away with access right outside the lodge driveway. There is plenty of room for sled trailers in the parking area of the lodge.

Fall at the lodge offers all the beauty of the colorful Minnesota landscape right in the backyard with the birch, and pine trees showcasing their changing colors overlooking the majestic acreage surrounding the water.
Lone Lake Lodge is the perfect year round vacation spot.
Lone Lake does not have public water access, and is non motorized making it your private, quite, water retreat! All you will hear are the call of the loons, swans and geese in the morning and the visits from the many wildlife that do venture into the back yard on occasion. At night, the northern lights have been known to make an appearance, and a celestial concert in the sky can be seen most nights featuring all the stars, planets and satellites seen with the naked eye.

The lodge is located a 1/4 mile from the Gull Lake boat launch near Zorbaz. For those who may want to venture out on Gull Lake, 2 boat rental companies (Gull Lake Marina, Lake fun Rentals) are available across the street from the launch. There are also a few public beaches and many restaurants along the shores of Gull Lake. A few miles down the road is “Ski Gull” open year round featuring skiing, snowboarding and tubing in the winter and zip lining and mountain biking in the summer. Amazing golf courses and mini golf for all abilities are also just minutes away. The quaint town of Nisswa is 2 miles away and will fulfill desires the any shopping enthusiasts.

The house and property are a delightful stay. The living space is open and well laid out. The furnishings are Up North appealing. The 3 BR's serve your sleeping needs with large comfortable beds and clothes storage space with added space downstairs with single beds available for children. The basement recreation and outdoor space is great for gathering. The view of the small private lake is relaxing. If you wish time on the nearby large Gull Lake there is boat rental minutes from the door. We will certainly return when visiting this lakes area again.

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful time at this home. The peacefulness of the lake and the proximity to everything we love in Nisswa was perfect. There were a few issues, the dock was a bit more rustic than we were prepared for with children, some boards need attending to, but overall it was amazing!

My daughter and I enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful time at the lake. I enjoyed listening to the loons in the morning and at night. Perfect location close to Nisswa Boutique’s and for a quick pizza at Zorba’s or getting dressed up for dinner at Bar Harbor. Beautiful home, very welcoming and inviting!!! Highly recommend

Five Star PLUS

We had family from out of state with us and it was the best weekend ever. The house is absolutely beautiful, very clean and the only thing you need to bring is food! It was so peaceful and loved taking the paddle boat out on the private lake. Saw deer walking up the path from the lake. We missed seeing and listening to the loons, maybe next time. Pictures do not do this home justice! Host was very prompt on questions ahead of time and they made sure our stay was perfect. This was our second stay there and definitely will not be our last!

Secluded within minutes of everything

We absolutely loved our visit! We cooked every meal in the kitchen and found everything we needed. The property is exactly as pictured and we enjoyed being away from everything, yet just minutes away from shopping. We brought snowshoes and spent an afternoon trekking along the lake and warmed up by the fire when we returned. We were lucky enough to see a fox on the drive in, and deer on two different days. We will be back! Thanks so much to the Johnson’s for everything.

Great property with privacy, peace, and quiet. Wish I could give more stars!

This cabin blew us away - the meticulous attention to detail in design and décor was impressive. Not only was the appearance and aesthetic of the cabin 5 stars, but the location and secluded nature of the property was second to none. A handful of friends and I were looking for a quiet getaway for a long weekend, and this cabin greatly exceeded our expectations. A fantastic spot to relax and enjoy company out in the woods.The proximity of the cabin to local establishments was very convenient and gave us an opportunity to explore the area without much of an effort. If you are looking for a top of the line property and are in search of peace and quiet, I can think of no better place than The Johnson's Cabin in the incredible Nisswa/Breezy Point area. We will definitely be looking to return here in the very near future! The Johnson's were very accessible, professional, and quick to respond to all inquiries. It is very clear they are passionate about their cabin, and could not have been better hosts for us. This property seriously deserves more than 5 stars!

This house offers a quiet Northwoods feeling that's right near top resorts, beautiful lakes and great restaurants. There's nothing more you can wish for in a quiet getaway. We could relax by the fire pit or go out for live music at a local bar within minutes of the property. We'd come back!

Friends 4th of July Weekend

We enjoyed our trip to Long Lake Lodge! The house is beautiful and set up nicely for groups with plenty of bed options. It’s too bad the max is 8 because it’s very spacious with many sleeping options which was awesome! My only complaint is the backyard is quite a bit smaller than it looks in pictures. Still enough room for a small kids pool and to play yard games just a little tight! The private lake was great for those in our group who enjoy fishing/for young kids as you are pretty much constantly reeling in little fish! Our group all agreed we probably would never swim in the water as it’s pretty weedy and Lily pads around! Lots of wildlife and pretty cool to see and hear Loons down there! Property owners were good to work with, only problem we had was being accused of the garbage being “rancid” due to liquids in there and unfortunately it’s hard to avoid when throwing away pop, beer cans, etc. even if you dump out the liquids there’s always going to be an odor as well as leftover food when it’s 90. We unfortunately had a bear come shortly after we checked out and get into the garbage so highly recommend making sure no garbage is showing and they’re latched. May need to take some garbage with you if you had more than fit in the bins like us! The cabin is a great secluded cabin in the woods (the driveway is a little tight in large pickups and SUVs) and I’d just be cautious if bringing a car or low clearance vehicle! Overall we enjoyed our stay and the area!
