Come make memories at the 6,600 sq. ft. Lakeshore house! Our spacious yet intimate, bright and modern home on the North end and East shoreline of Gull Lake is uniquely equipped to handle your large family, or multiple families, in a single house.
MAIN LEVEL
A welcoming foyer and a functional mudroom (off the garage) greet all who enter, but the expansive views of Gull Lake really steal the show. Everyone seems to gather in the kitchen, and you will love the hub of our home. Double ovens, double refrigerators, double dishwashers and a 10 foot island help this kitchen handle everything a big-group can throw its way. With an adjoining screened-in porch as well as a sunny great room with electric fireplace and 65" television, there is plenty of space for everyone. A TV/exercise/playroom is just off the great room, but still private with its frosted-glass French doors. Grab a book and enjoy the gas fireplace in the reading room/office, also off the main-level great room and separated by frosted-glass French doors. Both the great room and the reading room access our Westerly-facing deck. Step outside to fire-up the BBQ or just enjoy a beautiful up-North sunset. The half-bath rounds-out the layout of the main level.
UPSTAIRS
The "treehouse" with its two ensuite bedrooms awaits those who enjoy the perch. Our roomy primary suite overlooks the lake but is a private sanctuary. An additional ensuite with two twin XL beds is down the hallway and enjoys a view of the wooded East side of the property. A storage closet with washer and dryer complete the upstairs level.
LAKE LEVEL
This is where the fun is! Our convenient lake-level walkout lets you stay close to all the action of the lake. Facing the lake are three (3) bedrooms - 1 king, 1 queen + 1 California king. The California king room in an ensuite, while the other two share (along with the bunk room) the hall bathroom and the shower room. The interior bunk-room with its walk-in closet is the perfect place for those late-sleeping teenagers. Cards, dice, board games, and a television are available in the wet bar/game room for those late summer night gatherings. The unique shower room with its double sinks is the perfect place for a quick shower after a fun day in the sun. Throw your suits and towels in the laundry room right next door and enjoy the evening. The lake level sunroom is spacious enough to store all your water and sand toys.
OUTDOORS
Feel free to take out our two paddle boards and explore the bay. Plenty of parking is available in the driveway at the mail level with additional parking in front of the road-side garage. The gentle elevation of the lake-side of the property makes it easy to get back-and-forth from the dock to the house when necessity strikes. Our little sand beach and gently-sloping, sand bottom swimming area is perfect for all ages. Ample dock space is available to tie-up your boat or other water toys. A rock fire-pit with Adirondack chairs is the quintessential way to end those long summer nights.

We had the best time at the Lake Shore cabin! It was exactly what we hoped and were able to make amazing memories with our family and friends. Jenn was so easy to work with. The house is beautiful and set up perfectly to enjoy time by yourself or with others. We cannot wait to come back!
We had a such a magnificent stay at this property. The owners were kind and responsive to any questions that came up. The house is absolutely gorgeous and just as pictured. There were 5 adults and 3 children staying and we had more than enough room for us all. We had fantastic meals in the beautiful and plentiful kitchen and really enjoyed the open floor plan of the main floor. The basement was perfect for our kids and guests and the master suite was just perfect. There's really not a space in the home you won't love. Outside we enjoyed spending time in the screened in porch and played by the hour down by the water. The property was conveniently located close to a public water access and just a short boat ride to Zorbaz and other fun establishments along the water. This rental was everything we could have wanted and more. Most definitely an absolutely wonderful vacation full of memories that will last a lifetime.
This is a beautiful, well-maintained property on a lovely lake. Six adults and three children stayed for a week. It was a comfortable and enjoyable time. The owners were highly responsive and gracious.
We stayed with two other families and this house on Gull Lake is by far the best spot we’ve ever rented from up north! Absolutely beautiful property and the layout was perfect so every family had their own spot in the house. Jenn and Tony (the owners) were great to work with and we can’t wait to come back next summer!!
This house is large, beautiful, modern, updated, and comfortable and, best of all, is right on the shore of the gorgeous and huge Gull Lake. Most rooms have a panoramic view of the lake as do the decks. The open air deck is best for the day and to bbq, and we loved the screened-in deck, with its comfy couch and chairs, to watch moonlight on the lake water. The two-fridge, two-sink modern kitchen has everything you need and the largest kitchen island we had ever seen. The beds are super nice and there are two sets of washers and dryers. You have a private and shaded small beach, an outdoor fire pit, and a nice and sturdy private dock. We had a fantastic time with our family - can't wait to return!
The house is gorgeous - clean and tastefully decorated throughout. The photos on the listing are true to life. It has a giant kitchen with two fridges and dishwashers, a huge center island, and is fully stocked with all the pots, appliances and utensils you will need. The house is designed so it’s easy for people/groups to find space for themselves. The screened in porch is perfect and we spect lots of time there. The deck has a big outside dining table and a nice gas grill. The western exposure offers beautiful views of the sunset every night. The surrounding woods are filled with deer for viewing on your evening walks. The dock was easily big enough for our pontoon and jet ski. The water off the dock is weedy so we took the pontoon out to swim. The house is minutes from a grocery store and from downtown Nisswa, which has lots of nice shops and restaurants. The owner, Jenn, is very responsive, professional and friendly. The place was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again. My one suggestion for improvement would be to make some mattresses toppers available as our group found some of the mattresses a bit too firm. Book with confidence — you won’t regret it!
Our family had a fantastic week at the Lakeshore House. The house was in great condition and the layout was perfect for the twelve of us (three generations), providing many different spaces to gather together or get away for some quiet time. The house is situated perfectly towards the end of a beautifully wooded and quiet lane, on the Northern end of Gull Lake, looking West to take in the incredible sunsets. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We hope to return in the future and would definitely recommend this vacation home to our friends.
The house was excellent and everything we expected. Perfect location on the lake and plenty of room for our family. Swimming off the dock isn’t really feasible as the entire thing is surrounded by very tall dense weeds. This wasn’t really an issue for us as we usually took our boat out on the water for swimming anyways. Everything about the house was perfect. We had a minor delay in getting into the house at check in but this was quickly resolved. Overall a great experience.
Beautiful home, well furnished, great for kids and an amazingly responsive owner!
From the quality of the house/lot to the responsiveness of the owner, we could not have been happier!
