No. 01The house

Nisswa’s most anticipated new Nordic retreat.

Gull Lake is the crown jewel of the Brainerd Lakes area, and now The Nordic is on it. Set directly on the main lake with private dock access, this spacious four-bedroom cabin brings the same Scandinavian-inspired design and elevated hosting standard you expect from The Nordic, scaled up for your whole group.

Five thousand arcade games. A hot tub open year-round. A sunroom made for golden-hour lake watching. And you’re less than two minutes from Mount Ski Gull, five minutes from Madden’s and Cragun’s, and a boat ride away from dining on the lake.

Whether it’s a summer lake week, a winter ski trip, or a group golf getaway, this is the one that sleeps everyone and impresses everyone.

2026Holidays on Gull

Thanksgiving & Christmas at our Gull Lake vacation rental

Bring everyone home for the holidays at our Gull Lake vacation rental, with four bedrooms and room for the whole family under one roof. As of early November, Thanksgiving and Christmas 2026 are still open at Gull.

Gull came to us as a surprise. A friend of a friend needed to sell fast, and we couldn’t say no. This fall we gave it new paint and new furniture in our hygge style, and we can’t wait to see families fill it for the holidays.

  • Around the big table

    Pull up every chair for turkey, then stay for pie and cards. The expansive kitchen has room for whoever’s on gravy duty.

  • Room for everyone

    Four bedrooms, including two bunk rooms, mean the cousins get their own spot and nobody has to drive home after dinner.

  • Hot tub on cold nights

    Once the dishes are done, head to the hot tub under the main deck. It’s open year-round, and a soak on a snowy night is hard to beat.

  • The lake, all winter

    Coffee in hand, watch main Gull Lake from the sunroom or the fireplace living room.

City of Lights · Fri, Nov 27

The day after Thanksgiving, downtown Nisswa lights up for City of Lights, about 10 minutes from Gull. We’re former Nisswa locals, and it’s still how we start the season.

“We had such a wonderful stay! The house was lovely—comfortable, cozy, and beautifully decorated. We loved relaxing in the hammock, enjoying fires in the fire pit, fishing, and taking the canoes out on the lake. The sunroom was a favorite spot, with its perfect lake views. Tatum was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend this beautiful lakeside getaway!”Michelle · October 2026

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin! Tatum was able to accommodate a slightly earlier check-in time for us, which was really helpful. She even left us with 3 bundles of firewood for a bonfire, so thoughtful! The lake views were serene, the amenities were in great condition, the house was clean and cozy. 10/10 stay!

We had an amazing stay at this cabin on Gull Lake! Our group of 8 had to make a last minute change to our golf trip and found this place the day before we left. As soon as we booked Tatum, our host, was very accommodating and welcoming! The house is beautiful and has all the amenities you could think of! We communicated to our host that we would be cooking and she made sure we had plenty of propane and even a brand new grill. The lake views and lake toys were a great touch. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
