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 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.

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.

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.

My wife and I stayed here in the late fall for a quick getaway after our wedding. This property is amazing. Very well-kept and clean. We will definitely be booking another stay at Gladstone Haven!
What a wonderful location! The lake is so peaceful. The cabin was well-appointed and felt roomy for the 4 of us. Ron was great to work with, and we hope to get up there again!
Beautiful property in the Brainerd/Nisswa area. Very quiet spot with everything you could need. Convenient location to get into town while also feeling like you're out of the busy areas. Great yard and access to the lake.
Luv this place. Highly recommend!!
Great place for a family weekend getaway.
Pontoon was super clean.
The water was clear and the host was great at communication.
Definitely will be coming back next year!!!
We were excited for our north cabin stay however we didn’t know we were going to fall in love with the location and cabin and amenities. Everything was exactly what we needed and Ron was fantastic to communicate with. We look forward to coming back year after year.
Lovely week at this lakeside cabin. We enjoyed just relaxing at the cabin, time on the dock and in the lake. Good hiking at Northland Arboretum in Baxter, Crow Wing SP and Father Hennepin SP. Also walked along the road daily with our little dog. Thank you Ron and Jodi.
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!
We stayed at Ron's cabin for a week with our teenager and a dog. The cabin is updated and had all of the things mentioned. The weather was perfect, the water was clear, the lake is a shallower lake (max. depth 25 ft) with some weeds, it is in a very quiet area where you can walk on the road with minimal cars going by. The public boat dock was very close, and we could use Ron's dock to tie our boat up. Nisswa was a short 5-10 min. drive if you wanted to go into town. It was easy to communicate with Ron as his home is also on the property. We would stay again.
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.
Such a quaint, quiet and cozy cabin. Love it's proximity to the water and enjoyed the loons and morning coffee and sunrise. Very easy check in and described well!
We had a fabulous time! We loved getting out on the water kayaking, searching for shells on the beach, and sharing stories around the campfire. The property was super clean, newly renovated, and was perfect for our family of 5 plus our pup.
We very much enjoyed our quick weekend away at this cabin. Location is beautiful! Right next to the lake, great beach area with plenty provided to do or just relax and enjoy the view! The cabin was clean with a wonderful set up. The main house is behind the cabin but your privacy is respected and they are very nice!
We had a wonderful stay at this lakeside cabin. It was very clean and well equipped for a relaxing holiday weekend. As we were in town for a wedding, we didn’t have enough time to utilize the many water sport activities but hope to make it back soon. Thanks Ron and Jodi!
