Our Story

A Place to Unplug, Recharge, and Come Back To

Nestled along the western shore of Gull Lake, our recreation area has been welcoming visitors for decades. Whether you're a lifelong Minnesotan chasing summer weekends or a first-time visitor discovering the beauty of the North Country, we've got a spot waiting for you.

We believe the best vacations don't need a long itinerary. Sometimes the plan is simple: a dock, a cooler, and nowhere else you'd rather be.

Things to Do

Adventure Is Right Outside Your Door

Gull Lake is one of Minnesota's premier fishing and boating destinations. Here's what you can do when you stay with us.

Fishing

Walleye, perch, pike — Gull Lake is known for some of the best fishing in the Brainerd Lakes region.

Boating

Launch your boat, rent a kayak, or just drift along the shoreline. The lake is your playground.

Hiking & Biking

Trails wind through pine forests and along bluffs. Bring your bike or your hiking boots — there's a path for everyone.

Stargazing

No light pollution, just pure night sky. Grab a blanket and lose yourself among the stars.

"We've been coming to Gull Lake for three generations now. The kids love the dock, my wife loves the quiet mornings, and I just love that we don't have to pack much — the lake does all the work."

Peak Season Tip

June through August is our busiest stretch — weekends fill up fast. If you're planning a summer visit, we recommend booking a few weeks ahead. Spring and fall are quieter and just as beautiful.
