About this cottage rental
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
Time! The cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked and even had K Cups for the keurig! We had a great time playing cornhole, paddle boarding, kayaking and Ernie’s was right next door to grab a meal or a drink. Having the option to rent the pontoon was so very convenient. Leslie was a wonderful communicator. We will definitely be back.

This lovely home was exactly as advertised, and even better. It worked perfectly for our family with two younger children. It's new, it's clean, it's modern, it's right on the water, it's a gorgeous space, there is no reason to not stay here. It was so close to Baxter/Brainerd, it's not even a conisderation otherwise. The bunkbed room worked perfectly to have two young kids excited to share a room "in a new place." The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Being so close to the water is amazing. Plus the owner made it very easy to book and communicate. Loved it all and look forward to staying here again soon!

We had a wonderful time. The house is one of the most well appointed properties we’ve ever stayed at. We’ve rented several VRBOs around town and this is one we’d for sure stay at again.
We had a lovely fire by the lake and enjoyed the call of the loons. The view of the fall colors were incredible. The house was beautifully decorated and had all the comforts of home. Our contact person was super nice and helpful.

Leslie is my favorite - she provides a top notch vacation home. We had another wonderful time on Gull Lake. The location can’t be beat and the house has everything you need. It’s clean and beautiful. The full length patio doors offer a beautiful view of the lake. I would not hesitate to recommend and will be reserving again.

Absolutely perfect for us. We plan to stay again. The property was cute, clean, and the lake quality was great. We loved the proximity to Ernie’s. The pontoon availability at the dock was so convenient. House was stocked with everything we needed. Grill was really dirty from previous renters but a little elbow grease and we had that cleaned right up. Thanks Lesley! See you next year. Dawn

We loved our stay at this property. The location was perfect to either get places via boat or driving. The cottage itself had everything we could need and a beautiful view right on the lake. Leslie was very responsive to any questions we had and provided numerous unexpected amenities - fire pit wood, s’mores Ingredients, etc. we would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional experience
The property was exactly as described and the perfect space for our family of 5. The kids enjoyed kayaking, swimming and the paddle boards. The restaurant next door has a neat vibe to it. The dock for our boat was amazing. The kids also fished off the dock. It’s also just a short trip into town for mini golf and go carts and the neatest coffee shop and ice cream/candy shop in an old train railway. We could have stayed way longer. Only suggestion I’d tell future renters is bring your water shoes if you want to walk around the beach area, there are a few rocks and some sharp weeds, but all of that is to be expected at a lake. :)

Perfect Location on Gull
Couldn’t be happier with our stay at this cabin. This year was our 4th year at this location. The kids love playing on the beach, riding the pontoon or running to the playground at Ernies.

In the middle of Gull Lake
Terrific location on a peninsula in the middle of Gull. We watched the lake day and night. Easy access to the lake from the dock; loved stargazing from the bench at the end of the dock.

A little slice of heaven.
One one word: Amazing! Leslie is an absolutely amazing host. We stayed in Cottage 1. Cutest nautical decor. Extra special touch with a fun little welcome basket. All the amenities. Gas grill. Cornhole boards. We brought our boat up but next year we are going to rent the one for the property. It was a great family getaway. Would recommend this Property to anyone.

Awesome lake cottage!
The lake cottage was every bit as advertised. The open concept was very nice. Leslie was a great host. The welcoming basket was a very nice touch. The cottage was very clean and the amenities were very very nice. We enjoyed the being located close to Ernies. The neighborhood was very safe for early morning runs. We brought our own pontoon so the boat slip was very nice (and large) so we didn't have to trailer all the time. We will definitely be back!

We love it!
First let me start by saying Leslie is an amazing host. She is super responsive and will respond right away! This is the cutest little cabin on the lake and has everything you need. Our 4 year old loved playing in the sand and going on the boat. Seriously great place! We will be back!!

Our Stay
The cottage was extremely clean and very well organized. It fit our family of 5 perfectly. The only downside was my kids all got swimmers itch from swimming in the lake.
