About this property
Newer Construction - Gull Lake Cottage on Squaw Point - 1 of 2 - East Cottage
Top of the line design highlights this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom cottage with sunset views on the water’s edge of Gull Lake. Finished in 2016, this cottage sits just 50 feet from the level shoreline on the original site of two historic Gull Lake cabins. The premium mid-lake Squaw Point location has close proximity to almost every attraction and activity in the area.
Inside the cottage, rough cut custom oak hardwood floors run throughout the open main level. The main floor opens to the lake, with a lake view of almost full glass provided by 3 matching sets of 6 foot wide sliding glass doors. At ground level, all three sliding glass doors access a full deck attached to the entire front side of the cottage. The deck sits just a couple feet above the water level for excellent views and easy mobility for all ages. Granite kitchen counter tops and breakfast bar seating in the kitchen serves small groups, plus there is a separate dining table for four people inside. Additionally, dine outside on the deck’s hand-set stone table with 6 comfortable, swivel patio chairs. The kitchen’s new Whirlpool stainless appliances include a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher and natural gas stove top and oven.
The main level features a gas fireplace, full couch with a lake view, chairs, center ottomans with storage inside, and a 32” flat screen TV. The main floor master bedroom includes a queen bed, 42” flat screen TV and a bathroom en suite with a custom glass door walk-in shower. Also, on the main level, the powder room includes full size, front-loading laundry washer and dryer.
Upstairs, the lakeside king bedroom includes a king bed and 50” flat screen TV and closet. The nautical-themed shared bathroom upstairs features a tub-shower combination and tile. The third bedroom is a bunk room format with a twin/full bunk combination and drawers beneath. The bunk room includes a 50” flat Screen TV. Ample closet space is provided in all the bedrooms.
Besides the finest of amenities inside, bonus outdoor toys are included in the rental. In Spring and Summer, a kayak and a stand up paddle board are included and stored on the brand new DH Dock that is shared by the two matching cottages. The dock includes a sturdy 7-step staircase with a hand rail into the water for safe fun for all ages. For those bringing your own boat, you will love tying off conveniently to the dock, which is included in the rental. Every dock post is covered with a Brock Dock pole cover to reduce the risk of damage to your boat when tied up. A boat access and parking area for your boat trailer is just 100 feet away. Alternatively, a 2016 Premier pontoon with 115 HP Four Stoke Suzuki outboard is located on the dock and can be rented for additional easy, lake fun .
In addition to having the premier area golf courses a few miles away, the Cottages are located on the best point on the lake. The premier swimming spot on Squaw Point is only a few hundred yards away. Ernie’s on Gull lakeside restaurant is 100 feet away with a classic vacation vibe and outdoor amenities, like a kid’s playground, sand volleyball courts, and easy, good meals. Brainerd International Raceway, Maddens, Craguns, The Legacy Golf Course and even Mini-Golf are all within a few miles.
In Autumn, create your own fall colors tours via the local trails, parks, or roads and, of course, the lake tours are amazing. Hunters know that Gull Lake’s best waterfowl hunting is just across the bay and down the point. A short drive north provides upland hunting and sporting clays at Hunts Point Preserve or trap and range shooting at the Lakeshore Conservation Club. Endless upland, small game and deer hunting is just a few miles to the west in the Pillsbury State Forest and on miles of public land.
For winter fun, snowmobilers love the level lake access and can drive right up to the front door for easy snowmobile access to the groomed trail that crosses Gull Lake just in front of the cottage. Skiers love the trails and Mount Ski Gull, which is in view just across the lake. Ice fishing house rental is available for fishing out front of the Cottage on main Gull Lake.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Cottage 2. Our questions and requests were responded to promptly. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Great location, lots of windows overlooking the lake. Highly recommend this cottage.
This is the 2nd time staying at this property and it was another wonderful time. The house is VERY clean and the location is perfect. Leslie, the host, is beyond accommodating and makes you feel at home. We will be staying again next year.
The house was actually better than it looked in the pictures. There were tons of flies. Should probably leave more than two rolls of paper towels for larger groups. We had to get more. Overall our stay was fantastic.
We loved the cottage! VERY clean, comfortable, quiet, and had everything you needed for a great stay right on the lake. We enjoyed the pontoon on the most beautiful day, and appreciated the closeness of town for non-lake activities. Host was very easy to communicate with and was very quick to respond to inquiries and to rent the pontoon. We would definitely rent again!
Our kids enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards (even with the chilly water). We loved being close to Ernie's for volleyball and playground as well their food and beverages! We already rebooked for two more trips this summer! The cabin was equipped with everything you'll need. It was a perfect fit!
Everything about this property was phenomena. Leslie was wonderful to work with and thought of everything you may need on your trip. Our trip was amazing, and Leslie played a huge part in making that possible!
We made lots of memories and had a great time at the cottage! Leslie was very easy to reach if we had any questions. The cottage is beautiful and very well maintained. Little extras like kayaks, paddle boards, hammock, s’mores sticks, corn hole were nice to have. We hope to return! Thank you!
We spent 6 days here and could not have been more pleased with our experience. The cottage was clean and modern and had more amenities than I have ever had in a VRBO. The host left welcome gifts for us including bottled waters and a s'mores kit. It was so nice to have everything we needed provided for us. Leslie was quickly responsive to every question we had and even had an electrician come out within an hour when a ceiling fan stopped working. The property is next to a fun restaurant "Ernie's" that is very popular on Gull Lake. Even with how busy the restaurant was, it was never too noisy which I appreciated. Great Lake, gorgeous sunsets and wonderful memories for my family. We will definitely rent again!
Everything was easy about renting this property. Our first morning we woke to two eagles sitting on edge by the water. Layout of rental allows a great view and sunshine to pour in. The green area before the water allows enough space to enjoy a bag toss game. The deck provides a perfect place to take it all in. We enjoyed having Ernies right next door. Leslie was super responsive and provided excellent service in making sure our stay was perfect.
Leslie was responsive to our questions and needs. People will like the lake-themed decor. It’s next door to Ernie’s which I was worried would be loud but it was fine and super handy when you needed a bite or drink. The only thing I would have wanted was more privacy between the other unit and us and more space overall inside.
The vacility was great and worked well. It was nice to have a private dock as well. The Pontoon was very nice and seemed new. There was a firepit within a few feet of the lake.
Beautiful and well maintained property with a location that cannot be beat! Leslie is a very responsive and polite host. Would not recommend changing a thing, we will be
back.
We really enjoyed the property’s cleanliness and coziness! Fireplace is a perfect added touch and there’s plenty of room for friends and family. Definitely would come back for a longer family vacation!

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Arnold
After growing up in East Gull Lake, I wanted to have the opportunity to watch others enjoy the area I love. After living in Wisconsin & Minneapolis, I am proud to call the Gull Lake area home and I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does. To me, what is better than Squaw Point? Spectacular views, close to many activities like golf, mini-golf, go-carts, Brainerd International Raceway, Ski Gull, Nisswa (Home of "Pretty Good Shopping") & many restaurant options within reach. What better place to have all of this than at The Cottages On Gull Lake.
Why they chose this property
This property is less than two miles from my original home and our family has deep roots in the area for generations. As soon as we saw this place, we knew it was special. Having watched the construction and seen the great layout, we knew this cottage site is unique to the area. There is no other home and site that is so well centered in the heart of fun in the Gull Lake area for friends and families.
What makes this property unique
This cottage on Squaw Point was chosen for its idea location on Gull Lake and close proximity to the water's edge. It hosts beautiful lake views, direct access to the lake with a private dock to enjoy swimming, boating, water sports, fishing and everything else Gull Lake has to offer.
