Summary: What a wonderful cottage! It had the look and feel of what a lake cottage is all about! Nothing fancy but we had a great time!

Summary: We had 5 guys on a golf trip. This cabin has an old charm and coziness to it that’s so relaxing. Very easy to unwind here and enjoy a wonderful stay on the shores of beautiful Gull Lake. Very clean throughout as well. Located conveniently for short boat rides to Zorbaz or Ernie’s for lunch/dinner. The owners were very thorough with the entire process. They were prompt in their replies any time I had questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Summary: What a lovely cabin! Amy and Marty have a real gem here. The spacious layout with knotty pine throughout really gives this cabin the up north feel. Gull lake is absolutely beautiful, good fishing and enjoyable bird watching. The park like front yard has an abundance of squirrels which we enjoyed feeding peanuts to. But the best was campfires on the beach and falling asleep every night to the sounds of the loons. What a great memory.

Summary: Property was exactly as described. Excellent location. On that part of the lake, having access to a lift is almost a necessity. Only negative comment would be the lighting inside the home could be improved a little bit.

Summary: Great property and perfect location for a stay. House was rustic yet clean and the beds were comfortable. The classic waffle iron was a hit several mornings and fire pit evenings were peaceful and charming. Can not wait to come back here.

Summary: Had a great time during our stay. The process was easy for check in and out. Cabin is bigger than it looked online. Very clean. Windows could use some work and an exhaust fan in the bathroom would be nice. Overall great experience and I would rent again.

Summary: The location, lake and the beach are fantastic. The cabin could use a good cleaning and much yard work. (mowing, weeding, trimming, tree trimming) Some of the windows did not open, some had no screens or torn screens. In the informational book on the cabin, the owners wrote that some of the windows did not open "good luck". Windows were extremely dirty. Shower curtain has not been changed in a long time. The shower did not drain well and we resorted to cleaning out the drain ourselves. We could not see the lake from the deck because of the untrimmed tree/bush. There were cobwebs under furniture. Within the 2 weeks we were there, we found a wallet and a checkbook from 2 previous renters. The washer and dryer could be updated or repaired since the dryer door is held shut by duct tape. My family enjoyed the 2 weeks at the cabin. We will rent from VRBO in the future but no this property. I do not feel that I am overly picky, but I do like a clean, well kept and maintained rental property.
