Reviews
Girls Weekend for 10!
The Blue Ox was perfect for the 10 of us. Plenty of beds & bathrooms for all of us (important for a girls weekend!) The townhouse was fully stocked, lots of space, and close to dining options. Peter was very responsive with any questions we had! Wanted to rent again next year but was booked the weekend we wanted it. Found another property on this same sight and booked that instead. Will keep this one on the list for sure!
Gull lake #175
The place was absolutely beautiful, everything we could have asked for and more. Place was stocked with all the dishes we needed, plenty of firewood for the bonfire at the private fire pit. Plenty of bedrooms and shower space for everyone in our rental group. Used the bikes to get down to Zorbraz and to also use the outdoor pool. I will definitely be looking into renting again when we do another weekend get away. The hosts were very nice and if you had any questions they would email you back within minutes.
Long weekend getaway
5 stars for this place. Clean, modern, lots of space for 9 kids and 6 adults. Great location! Excited to come back again!
Lots of space / great location
We recently stayed at the Gull Lake 175 with a group of 6 adults. The place was spotless and very well outfitted for being able to just show up and relax. Communication with the owner Peter was very quick. The size and location of this place would be great for two families or a group of couples to show up and have plenty of bedrooms / bathrooms for all. Also, lots of parking available for boat or snowmobile trailers which is a plus!
Glad you guys enjoyed your stay. Come on back anytime. - Peter
