This adds a vibrant social scene to the area, particularly in the summer months. Quiet Residential Areas: Despite the availability of lively entertainment options nearby, the neighborhood maintains a quiet, residential feel, with areas that are more secluded and tranquil, ideal for relaxation and privacy. Community Atmosphere: The community in and around Gull Lake is friendly and welcoming, often geared towards supporting family activities and local businesses. Community events, markets, and gatherings are common, fostering a strong sense of togetherness. Access and Transportation: While the neighborhood offers peace and quiet, it is also well-connected by roads and has access to local transportation services like Ole's Shuttle Service for safe night-time travel.

Their services cover the Brainerd Lakes area. Other Things to Note: Property Condition: Please note, our property is charming with a rustic, cabin-like feel, but it is not in perfect condition. While we strive to address repairs and maintain the property, some areas are dated and could use updates. Given that our busy season is about 8 weeks a year, keeping everything in pristine condition is unsustainable. However, as long as you come with the right expectations, you will likely enjoy your stay, especially as most of your time will be spent outdoors. Each unit’s AC is located in the living room, and while bedrooms do not have ACs, fans are provided to help circulate the air on extremely hot days. Thanks to our location on a peninsula, we often enjoy nice breezes that contribute to a comfortable environment. Pet Policy: If you plan to bring your pet, they must be included in the reservation as an adult guest. This policy adds approximately $15 per night per pet. Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the property, and keep wet dogs outside and off the furniture. Mosquito Control: Our location benefits from natural breezes that help keep mosquitoes at bay, and the city performs regular mosquito fogging on our street, so it’s rare to encounter mosquito issues. Local Attractions: We are located on the famous Squaw Point. At the end of the point is a sandbar where people gather to park their boats, party, and swim. Interaction with Guests: While I won't be on-site regularly, I'm always within reach and committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Here's what you can expect regarding interactions: On-Site Presence: My maintenance team and cleaning staff are on the premises more often than I am, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Host Visits: I occasionally stop by to check in and say hello, maintaining a friendly but unobtrusive presence. Communication: Most of our interactions will be through the booking platform's messaging service, text, or phone calls, ensuring I am accessible for any questions or assistance you might need. Boat Dock Use: Sometimes, I may park my boat at the docks for a few hours, especially when nearby Ernie's is full. I ensure this does not interfere with your access and enjoyment. My goal is to provide a seamless and comfortable experience, allowing you to enjoy your privacy while being supported by attentive and accessible service.
