Escape to this massive 3,250 sq ft, three-level lakefront gem on Gull Lake, perfect for large groups, multi-family vacations, golf getaways, or unforgettable bachelor/bachelorette parties! With five spacious bedrooms (including two master suites) and five bathrooms, this home comfortably sleeps 17 and offers plenty of space to unwind or celebrate. Nestled within the Causeway on Gull Resort, this is more than a rental—it’s your ultimate vacation headquarters in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area!

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Endless Fun Included: We’ve stocked the home with bikes, sports gear (balls, racquets), and a fully equipped kitchen—bring your ingredients and let the good times roll!
  • Resort Perks: Dive into indoor and outdoor pools, relax in hot tubs, or sweat it out in the sauna. Kids and adults alike will love the arcade games, ping pong, foosball, and lakeside clubhouse just steps away via a scenic wooded trail.
  • Your Private Lake Life: Enjoy a dedicated boat slip on Gull Lake (included free!) in the heart of the Gull Lake Chain, right next to Zorbaz. Bring your boat (ample trailer parking available) or rent one onsite from YourBoatClub or LakeFunRentals—fishing boats, jet skis, or tri-toons await! Winter guests can even park an ice castle.
  • Cozy & Modern: This is our cherished family cabin, loaded with comforts like six Smart TVs (stream your favorites!), board games, puzzles, a fireplace, and a private fire pit with free firewood.

Room for Everyone:
Spread out across three levels with plenty of privacy and space. Fresh linens, spa-quality bath products, hairdryers, and stacks of towels are all ready for you. The deck, natural gas grill, and central AC make every season a breeze. Plus, a washer/dryer keeps your crew fresh.
