About this place
One beautiful chain of lakes. Three living spaces. Endless memories.
Experience the best of the Brainerd Lakes Area at this one-of-a-kind lakeside retreat! Enjoy a spacious main cabin PLUS a beautifully remodeled boathouse just steps from the water. With room for up to 13 guests, this property is an incredible setup for multi-generational families, multiple families vacationing together, golf trips and groups of friends.
Imagine mornings on the deck with coffee, afternoons floating in the sandy-bottom swimming area, evenings grilling dinner with the group, and nights around the firepit under the stars.

THE SPACE
Spend your days enjoying everything Round Lake has to offer. Wade and float in the sandy-bottom shallow shoreline, soak up the sun on the dock, play lawn games, or take the paddleboards out for a cruise.
Have a boat? Enjoy channel access to the Gull Lake Chain and dock space for your rented pontoon or jet ski. When it's time to come ashore, there's plenty of room to spread out, relax and enjoy the property.
And when the sun starts setting, gather around the firepit (we provide the firewood), fire up the grill, or head to the patio and deck to enjoy the beautiful lake setting.
THE BOATHOUSE
The recently remodeled boathouse is truly something special. Just steps from the water, this separate living space gives your group an entirely different way to enjoy the lake.
Featuring:
Comfortable living room with fireplace, sleeper sofa and Smart TV
Separate bunk room with Twin XL beds
Full dry kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and oven
Space to prepare lunch, store beverages and snacks, or escape the midday sun
It's the perfect place for kids to hang out, guests to have their own space, or everyone to gather after a day on the lake. Enjoy the convenience of being right at the water without having to head back up to the main cabin.
THE MAIN CABIN
The spacious main cabin offers four bedrooms, two living rooms, two full kitchens and 2.5 bathrooms, providing plenty of room for everyone to spread out.
Both cabin kitchens have a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, oven and a full selection of cookware, dishes, glasses and utensils.
The upstairs kitchen features a large dining table seating eight, with additional seating on the adjoining deck for 6–8 and banquette seating in the living room for 5–7. It's a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast together before heading out for a day on the lake.
The lower-level kitchen is conveniently located next to the outside patio with grill - a large gathering space for meals and evening get-togethers. Coffee lovers will also find a Keurig, regular coffee maker and coffee supplies here.
The cabin has two living rooms, each with a fireplace, Smart TV, air conditioning and fans. The lower-level living room includes two sleeper sofas, along with toys and games for family entertainment.
Between the cabin and boathouse, there are three separate living areas, making it easy for everyone to find their own space.
