There’s one feature guests mention more than almost anything else at Gull Lake Motel: the kitchenette. It’s a small thing that changes the whole shape of a stay.
Real Meals, Real Savings
Every room at Gull Lake Motel comes with its own kitchenette, so you’re not stuck eating out for every meal or living off gas station coffee. Make your own breakfast before a day on the water, pack a lunch for the boat, or just keep drinks cold without hunting down an ice machine. For families, golf groups, or anyone staying more than a night or two, it adds up — fewer restaurant checks, more control over your schedule. It’s a small detail with a big effect: guests who cook even one meal in tend to stay looser, spend more time by the lake, and less time watching the clock for a dinner reservation.
Built for Real Stays
We’re not trying to be a resort, and we don’t pretend to be one. Gull Lake Motel is built for people who want a clean, comfortable, well-kept room in a quiet wooded setting — not a lobby full of upsells. Rooms are simple and well cared for, with a two-night minimum on nightly stays and month-to-month options available for guests settling into the area for work or a longer visit.
Location Does the Rest
The kitchenette pairs well with where we sit: directly across from Gull Lake, on the walking and biking path, and close to the Nisswa boat launch, beaches, golf courses, and downtown shops and restaurants. Cook in when you want to, walk into town when you don’t.
Under Local, Caring Ownership
Gull Lake Motel has welcomed guests to the Brainerd Lakes Area since 1970. Under local ownership, we’ve kept what people love about the place while steadily upgrading the rooms and grounds over the years — including making sure every kitchenette is stocked and ready when you check in.
Whether you’re here for a weekend on the lake or a longer stay, a room that lets you settle in on your own terms makes all the difference.
