About this property
Spacious lake home to swim and fish on, amazing views and convenient location.

There are two large bedrooms with a queen bed in each. A smaller room has a twin bed or could be used as an office.

The house features are large dock that can easily host your entire family while you swim, fish, read, sunbath, and nature watch. The house is situated right off County Road 4, which is a fairly busy road, but lakeside is private and quiet. It's just 10 minutes from downtown Nisswa, 9 minutes from Breezy Point, 13 minutes from Gull Lake locations such as Grand View Resort and Zorbaz on Gull. We also have a detached garage that we’ve filled with yard games, 2 paddle boards, a ping-pong table, kayak, floaties for the lake for you to use for entertainment. A gas grill on the patio off the main living area is easy for grilling and plenty of seating for alfresco dining and relaxing around the firepit. We provide freshly washed linens, pillows, bedspreads, and bath towels. Because of our extra cleaning practices we unfortunately cannot make exceptions for check out or check in times.

This was the second time we've stayed at this property for a July 4th week. Again, the accommodations were excellent and just what we needed. We rented a pontoon locally, spent time on the lake and hung out. Family of 5 with three late teen/early 20s kids. Highly Recommend!
My family (spouse, three late teenage kids) spent a week at this location. Everything was as advertised and we had a fabulous time. Lake was awesome, dock was awesome, grill, cabin, neighborhood, just everything. Highly recommend!
We keep coming back because this is the best place we have ever found to stay with our mobility challenged moms. Even the epic dock is accessible for them. Thanks again to Amy for keeping this beautiful cabin accessible for us!
This property was tailor-made for 2 retired couples... No stairs and flat, easy access to the dock and the lake.
Had great weather all week for coffee on the patio and a fire pit. Very enjoyable vacation!

This was our second stay here, love the cabin with great fishing so nearby!
We always Love Nisswa and Pequot lakes (Luckys tavern)!
Thank you again Emily and Amy!

This place was perfect for our family getaway to the lake! The house was very clean, the view was amazing (literally on the water) and the dock was huge. The way the home is laid out works great for accommodating two families. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Thanks for staying at Barbies on the Bay, thanks for being such great guests, we look forward to your next visit! We appreciated your honesty greatly, please feel free to offer any other advice as we are new to this!
The accommodations were very nice. No stairs as all rooms are on one level. Dock is very nice and we were able to rent a pontoon from the Cozy Cove resort which is right next door. Overall it was a very enjoyable week and the accommodations fit us very well.

Thank you! We enjoyed hosting you! You were great guests!
We had a great time here. Traveling with two small children ages 4 and 2 can be challenging but the dock was wide so we could sit and fish or swim all afternoon. Home is close to the lake to admire during nap time. Very clean home and friendly hosts. Only complaint we ever had was AC did not keep up but they had plenty of fans that made it manageable. Would stay again.
We had a wonderful time enjoying a week of leisure around the lake. Nice to be so close to the lake from the patio area and enjoyed the spacious dock pad 20 feet from shore. Kids enjoyed swimming and fishing from the pad. Family enjoyed the supplied paddle boards. Very nice clear lake to enjoy tubing and a night ride to see all the loons.
It was great to just go outside and the lake was right there. Lots of games on site for our family to play and do. The bedrooms do get a little warm for sleeping, but the main areas were good for temperature. We had nice bonfires by the lake each night. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Thanks Ed, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you’ll come back again!
This lake house is a total gem. Booked it last minute and Amy and her family was super responsive and easy to work with. The house was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the dock and all the water toys. We'll definitely stay again. Recommend to all.

Thank you very much Khrystie Lee and family, you guys were great first guests. Thanks for choosing to stay with us despite not having any reviews! We look forward to your next visit!
Really enjoyed this property as very easy to negotiate with everything in one level! Loved being so close to the lake and watching al the activities! Will definitely considered for future needs! Thank you!
Beautiful cabin with lots of room for family. We had 6 family members and it fit us all perfectly. Only downfall was the weeds around the dock, but we just got over it and swam. Loved the stand up paddle boards to use and the kayak. Lots of yard games and beautiful porch. Great location close to Nissaw/Brainerd. Great, helpful communication with the property manage prior.

Chelsea, thank you for the review! You were great guests! We hope you’ll think of us again next summer!
What a great place! The house is positioned close to the lake so every night I slept to the sound of the water. It had everything we could need. There were ceiling fans and new small table fans provided in every room. The beds were unbelievably comfortable. The big bedroom/bonus room helped for space when it rained. We never felt crowded. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Anna was great to work with. Anna makes sure everything is taken care of and was a great guest.
My wife and I wanted to take my mom, who has mobility issues, to a place on a lake where she could relax near the water. This place was beautiful, all on one level, and had everything we wanted for a long Fall weekend. The owner was very responsive and helped us with everything we needed. The level lot to the lake allowed my mom to get closer to the water than at other cabins. We are very grateful.

You guys were wonderful guests! Thank you for choosing Barbie’s on the Bay. We hope you will visit again.
This house had everything we needed. Paper products, garbage bags, spices, hand soap, hand sanitizer, etc. We were so pleasantly surprised. The paddle-board, kayak and water floats were great. We thought we were going to have to rent them. There was firewood too for the fire pit. The dock was just as pictured - and we all spent a lot of time there.
The only thing that was unexpected was the lack of walking paths close by. The house is on a busy road, so walking along the road can be done, but is a little unnerving due to speed of the cars going by. The Paul Bunyan trail is not too far away, but you need to drive to it. We were hoping to do a lot of walking/hiking and there is nothing accessible from the house.
The air conditioning is great in living area, but the bedrooms were pretty warm even with fans. It wasn’t too bad if you slept with doors open, but not ideal since we all kept different hours.
We would definitely go back. It was a great place for my husband, me and two teenage kids. Thanks!!!

Thank you for being great guests! We hope that you will visit again!
The property was wonderful, and the home was perfect for our group. We found the house just as described (it was actually better than described). Everything in the home was in good working order. Our host communicated well with us to make sure our stay as comfortable as possible.We highly recommend this property.
Clean and comfortable place, we enjoyed our time there with family that lives nearby.Fishing was great! Weather was great! No mosquitoes yet!We had a great time!
Nice, large accommodations for our daughter and family, son and family and myself and my husband when we were in Brainerd for a family wedding. Nice outdoor area...we enjoyed a fire on the patio every night. The property sits between a VERY busy county road and the lake. It's easy to miss the driveway as the only identification is the small blue address number. Lots of towels provided, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and in floor heat made it pretty cozy!

She always has loved being on the lake and sharing the lake life with family and friends from near and far. This house is an extension of her hospitality that we hope to share with others.

As soon as you walk through the front door we promise you will be as taken with the lake view as we are. You really feel like you are right on the lake when you watch it sparkle from the windows. The clarity of the water and hard sand make for ideal swimming off the large dock that is big enough to hold your whole household for summertime fun. The charm of nearby resorts, the wildlife, and the water will put you right into relaxtion mode. The location is great for whatever else might interest in you in the Nisswa/LakeShore/Breezy area as well.
What makes this property unique
The location is idea for those who truly want to experience the lakes area. There's shopping, golfing, fishing, access to the Paul Bunyan trail, fine dining, swimming, snowmobiling all within 10 minutes of the property.
