Beautiful, newly remodeled 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath cabin with a loft and screened in porch located directly on the north side of Gladstone Lake. With the loft, the cabin sleeps 7 comfortably. The cabin is situated 30 ft from the lake. It is an easy walk with a gradual slope down to the sandy beach. Enjoy gorgeous, breath taking sunsets in the evening. The cabin is located in the heart of the beautiful and historical Brainerd Lakes Area. The cabin is just minutes south of Nisswa but only 10 miles north of Brainerd. 

Gladstone lake has a sandy bottom to swim, tube, water ski, or relax and enjoy. No muck on the bottom. Enjoy fishing and lakeside campfires or just relaxing in the screened in porch. Practice your golf game at the cabin with a one-hole coarse. Fairway with a dog leg to the right. Or practice your chipping, before heading to one of many gorgeous and well known golf courses. The Nisswa and Brainerd area are known for the fine dining, shopping and many activities for kids of all ages. There are over 15 well known golf courses within 20 minutes of the cabin. There are several activities for the kids to enjoy while mom or dad are golfing. Beside swimming at the cabin, head into Brainerd where the kids can drive the go-carts, play mini golf, rent out the batting cages, and participate in the famous Turtle Races that are held every Wednesday at noon during the Summer months.  The Cabin is also located just off the Bike Trail that goes from Brainerd to Pequot Lakes. Games on the property for use and entertainment include, croquet, bocce ball, badminton, bean bag toss, tubes for relaxing in the lake or tubing behind a boat. Also a swing set with climbing wall, swings, slide. Inside activities include, 5 different game boards, cribbage board, deck of cards, yahtzee.

The cabin has a fully functional kitchen with all new and modern appliances. Sorry no dishwasher. It is fully stocked with all the kitchen essentials; all you need to do is provide the food! The floor plan includes an open living room. The master bedroom is located on the main level and the loft has three single beds in it. The cabin does come with the essential bedding for each bed. I also provide bath towels, wash clothes to be used inside the house. I do have a 55in TV in the living room and a 42in TV in the loft entertainment area. Both are hooked up to cable. There is a regular DVD player provided as well. Bring your own PS4 or Xbox. The cabin has a wall A/C unit downstairs in the living room and one in the loft.  Along with a grill, right outside the front door. The guest will have access to the full cabin. Beautiful property with over 4 1/2 acres of land. 220 ft of lake shore. You will also be able to get into the storage unit for all outside games, life jackets, etc.

The loft is multi-level that includes a 12' x 12' entrainment room for the kids. There is a secluded hidden play room for the kids to make into their vacation fort. There is a Kayaks to use on the property. Bring your own boat or you can rent mine. I have a boat lift at the dock for rent during your stay as well. The boat has a 25 hp motor, live well, and removable seats. Also have a pontoon to rent. It is a fish and pleasure pontoon. 21 ft. pontoon with a 60 hp, 4stroke motor, holds 12 people, fish locator, life jackets. All you need is fishing pole or have a relaxing time on the lake cruising around. Please call for additional pricing details on the boat lift, fishing boat, two jet ski's or pontoon.

The cabin is available to rent (can include boat lift, pontoon, jet ski's or fishing boat) starting April 1 - October 31, for 2-5 guests. Anything over 5 guests, please call me for pricing. Small dogs are welcome for an additional fee. Please email or call for reservations.

The Perfect Getaway
We had the best time at this beautiful cabin! Fishing, bonfires and relaxing made for the most amazing trip. Cabin is clean and cozy. Ron is a wonderful host and his son was so nice. We booked our next stay before we were finished with the first. We can't wait to go back!

Cozy cabin right on the lake
Wonderful place for a 3 day getaway. Nice view of the lake from the living room. We enjoyed fishing from our kayaks on this clear lake. Saw loons, trumpeter swans, geese, eagles and caught some nice fish. Ron is a great host and very accommodating. Easy drive into town for shopping and restaurants.

Beautiful and peaceful
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the cabin! It is a beautiful setting and the cabin is super comfortable. We loved going out on the boat and had it been warmer, we would have taken advantage of the lake more. If you stay at this charming cabin, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Ron's cabin was perfect for our weekend trip. The cabin sits right on the water and is fully renovated with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I was very impressed to see all of the custom woodwork and cabinetry--it kept the cabin feel but with a modern twist! Ron was a delightful host and greeted us upon arrival to answer any questions we had about the cabin and amenities. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway on the lake!

Infested
Do not stay here!! This play is infested with Asian lady beetles. They are everywhere (literally hundreds), bite and will stain your belongings. The owner was communicative prior to us arriving. Once we let him know about the issue he never responded. We stayed for literally 1 hour then had to leave because of how bad the issue was. We left in the middle of the night during a storm. Vrbo has not issued us a refund either.

Perfection
I'm hesitant to write this raving review because I would like to keep this gem all for myself! The cabin is so adorable! Exactly as pictured, and better! Beautifully decorated and a perfect use of space. Has everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, you even have a crockpot and griddle! There's even a pack and play for a baby if you need it. The lake has a sandy bottom and clear water. My family of five had a great time! The boys (6 & 3) loved swimming in the shallow waters (under 4' beyond the dock). We did lots of fishing and swimming and even saw a bald eagle! If I could build a cabin this is exactly what I'd build. We can't wait to go back!

Great little cabin
This cabin was exactly what my friends and I were looking for, for a weekend getaway. While not overly spacious, it provided enough room for 6 guys to hang out comfortably, and sleep comfortably. If you're used to 5 star luxury hotels, the three twin mattresses in the upper loft might not be to your taste. But, this was supposed to be an outdoors-y getaway, so they were perfectly suitable for us. There is one cozy master bedroom, one nice-sized futon, a pullout couch/bed, and the aforementioned twin mattresses. Everything was very clean and updated. Was nice to have a TV to have movies/sports on in the background. We enjoyed the fire pit, as well as the grill to cook up a meal. The coffee pot was much appreciated in the morning. The nearby town of Nisswa was pretty cool - we checked out both breweries, and had fun watching the Vikings game at Zorbas before we left on Sunday. If you're into quaint small town shopping, Nisswa has a ton of it. Overall, we had a great weekend, no complaints, and would definitely come back! Thanks to the accommodating owner.

Very Cold
The property was neat and clean and on a beautiful lake in the owners back yard. The heater was not working and it was cold. The owner brought a space heater it just didn’t reach all the rooms. It was very cold and my 85 year old mother was uncomfortable and unhappy. It was late at night so we didn’t feel right asking for more help. My mom wanted to go home in the morning. The owner felt he could have fixed the situation, but my mom was already frozen and he would need a space heater in every room. We asked for some reimbursement for the second night. The listing said heat and I believe he knew it was broken when we booked, but the owner didn’t answer our message. That feels very unfriendly. It was my mom’s first time out, in many years, after healing from a brain tumor. It was just a bummer.
