Grand View Lodge

3.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (726)
"We have been visiting this area on and off for the past 6 years and just love coming back more and more each year. There were a ton of fun activities for our toddler. The food is absolutely amazing. Our room was clean and almost everything worked. My only complaint is that the shower door didn’t stay all the way closed. There was a shuttle to bring us around to all of the different activities. The room was dark enough at night. The spa services are great. Sarah did a wonderful job on my nails....

"Place is secluded from your high traffic areas. Owners are great with communication and accommodated when there were requests. It was good to understand the history of the property as this is shared within the cabin. Loons are in abundance on the lake. "

Beautiful cabin on Gull Lake with access to resort's indoor pool and hot tub

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (5)
"We couldn’t check in until four in the afternoon and had to be out by 10 in the morning on Sunday, and so even if you have two nights you feel as if you only had one day. The price was rather high for just one full day…. And two nights . It wasn’t on the lake but It was a clean and a decent rental unit."

Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"The home was lovely. A little disconcerting to have any traps on the kitchen counter though. Tried to contact owner for departure instructions and they never answered so we just did what most vrbo renters have asked. Also, instructions regarding entry need updating. Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

"My long-time friend (60+ years) and I wanted a getaway to go fish for a week. This rental was great for the two of us - two bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, a stackable washer/dryer, reliable wifi and a smart TV. We were able to fish six different lakes in the week and brought two coolers of fish home. Host was quick to respond to any questions and email.
