5 Bed 5 Bath Home in Resort with Boat Slip Gull Lake!

The Loons Nest is a 5 Bed 5 Bath townhome in the Causeway on Gull Resort.
It's absolutely HUGE for a townhome at 3,250 Sq Ft with Five Beds and Five Baths. Complete with two master bedrooms!
Newly built and only recently finished in July 2021.  This is the perfect home to host multiple families with plenty of space for everyone to spread out over all three levels.
The resort has both indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs with a sauna at the outdoor pool house.  A short stroll down the wooded trail past your private fire pit takes you to the indoor pool building and the Causeway Clubhouse with a selection of arcade games plus ping pong and foosball.
The home rental includes a dedicated boat slip on Gull Lake.  There is plenty of room for trailer parking so you can bring your own boat or your ice shack and snowmobiles in the winter months.  If you need to rent a boat there are two options right on-site with YourBoatClub and LakeFunRentals and several others nearby.  You can get anything from a fishing boat or performance tri-toon to jet skis.  There are also many off-site rental businesses that can even rent you a wake boat with or without a captain. Either way, you will have your own slip at Causeway right next to Zorbaz for the duration of your stay at no added cost.
This home is fully stocked with all the comforts of home.  The kitchen is loaded, just bring your ingredients and skills.  There are games and puzzles for evenings and rainy days to keep everyone entertained. Six Smart TVs waiting for you to enter in your login info so you can access all your favorite shows and rent/stream a family moving after the sun goes down.
We are set in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes area.  The Location is awesome!

Newer, Clean, Great Location
Well managed and appointed from all aspects. Great location for lake access. Manager was easy to contact and interact with. Had a family gathering coming from various locations. Gave us the space to easily socialize, as well as have private time. All TV's, etc., worked so we could keep the young boys occupied. Easy access to eating, as well. Will want to return.

We would have a few suggestions, including a better stocked kitchen and consistency/ accuracy of available beds through listings. However, it is a beautiful house and overall we had a lovely visit at this property.
