The home is part of the Causeway on Gull Resort and is stocked with plenty of bikes, balls, and racquets to keep the kids busy and you're only steps away from the ever-popular Zorbaz on Gull. The resort has indoor and outdoor pools with hot tubs and a sauna. The home rental includes a dedicated boat slip on Gull Lake. There is plenty of room for trailer parking making it easy to bring your boat or if you prefer, rent a boat. There are two boat rental businesses right on-site with YourBoatClub and LakeFunRentals, and three other options only 5 min up the road in Nisswa. You can get anything from a fishing boat or performance tri-toon to jet skis. Either way, you will have a slip at the Causeway marina right next to Zorbaz for the duration of your stay at no added cost.

Nice Condo, resort just ok
Condo was very nice, resort was adequate. No towels at pools and grounds were tired and disappointing. Would give 5 stars for condo except towels and cleanliness would need to improve. We swept right away and had to wash some of the clean dishes. Towels and washcloths were so thin and small. There were extra in closet which we needed and also washed a couple loads.

Much Needed Family Vacation
Our entire family had a fabulous week in Nisswa! The beautifully decorated home was in the perfect location for varied activities. The host responded promptly to calls/texts regarding supplies. Unit needed a more thorough cleaning (smudges, dust, tub drain, carpet spills) to make our visit perfect. We were amazed at how quickly the week passed. Thank you for sharing your Northwoods Getaway!

Family Thanksgiving Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very well appointed and had nearly all of the furnishings and utensils one would want or need during a four night stay. It fit the needs of our family of 7 adults and 5 children under the age of 7 quite well. The only disappointment was the lack of active WIFI and/or television services which we understand are in the process of being secured for the property.
