4.0 / 5.0
Condo was very nice, resort was adequate. No towels at pools and grounds were tired and disappointing. Would give 5 stars for condo except towels and cleanliness would need to improve. We swept right away and had to wash some of the clean dishes. Towels and washcloths were so thin and small. There were extra in closet which we needed and also washed a couple loads.

Our entire family had a fabulous week in Nisswa! The beautifully decorated home was in the perfect location for varied activities. The host responded promptly to calls/texts regarding supplies. Unit needed a more thorough cleaning (smudges, dust, tub drain, carpet spills) to make our visit perfect. We were amazed at how quickly the week passed. Thank you for sharing your Northwoods Getaway!

Family Thanksgiving Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very well appointed and had nearly all of the furnishings and utensils one would want or need during a four night stay. It fit the needs of our family of 7 adults and 5 children under the age of 7 quite well. The only disappointment was the lack of active WIFI and/or television services which we understand are in the process of being secured for the property.
4.0 / 5.0
Internet & T.V. Signal
We had a very overall enjoyable stay. The property was very nicely laid out and very user friendly. Our only negatives would be that the property did not have wi-fi access OR any T.V./Cable/Satellite signal. Because of the lack of wi-fi, the smart t.v. features were also unavaillable for us. Given that it was the middle of November and colder weather outside, it would have been a nicer stay if those features had been available. Otherwise it was great!
5.0 / 5.0
Met all of our expectations! Great location

Beautiful House
We were all pleasantly surprised, I knew this would be a nice place from what I've heard from other's who have visited the resort but the home was so nice. The ONLY downfall is the sugar ants! They seem to be everywhere at the resort, which is understandable but we just had to be careful because ants were always crawling on the kitchen counters and found them crawing on me occasionally. Not sure if there's some sort of mitigation to help solve that problem but everything else was wonderful!
5.0 / 5.0
Family trip

Central location to many things.
Property owner made things very smooth.

END OF SUMMER VACATION
We were scheduled to be at a relative’s high school graduation party the last weekend in July in Minneapolis. One of our five children found the Gull Lake #175 listing. It was perfect!
We had three generations of our family on the trip with grandchildren ranging from almost 15 years to 8 weeks old. They each had their own space and yet we also had space for family time. Everything was within minutes—we truly spent time together, relaxing, and enjoying our experience.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful Place!
Perfect townhome! Me and my family had a great time! Great Location!
