The perfect getaway

My friends and I loved staying here at Gull Lake. It was absolutely beautiful! My favorite part was watching the sunset while sitting buy the fire. And once night fell, an Arora Borealis appeared over the lake! It was absolutely stunning!

Family Reunion Vacation

It was a treat to stay at such a nice, spacious, clean, modern place with central air on the lake. The kitchen is adorable, the beds amazingly comfortable, great shower. Us kids are in our 50s and parents 80 so it was wonderful to hang out together. Loved the propane grills. The beach/grounds are well taken care of too.

Great Location

We loved the condo and the location. Very clean and spacious. We did have an issue with our code not working on the second night which was frustrating but one employee came from their home to let us in and stayed to reset a new code and make sure it worked.

The place is amazing, and very comfortable. The weather was too cold and windy for a fire, but in October you take your chances. I would consider booking in the warmer weather in a heart beat.

Always fun to be in the Gull Lake Area!

We had a great time girls weekend at Bay Colony. We were welcomed with beverages too, which was so nice! I rated this a 4 only due to some updates in the first room needed (missing blind, bathroom grout and door issues). I did report this, but it didn’t make our stay unmanageable. The people upstairs were loud (banging), but not an issue of the property owner at all. Overall, it was a great getaway on the coldest weekend of the winter (fireplace was wonderful)!! Thank you so much for having us!
