Our First Stay in June Lake – A Memorable Family Experience
This was our family’s first time visiting June Lake, and staying at Gull Lake Lodge made it even more special. The cabin’s location is truly fantastic — just a short stroll to the shores of beautiful Gull Lake, and close to everything you could need while still feeling tucked away in nature. We’re already dreaming of making this an annual tradition!
To be honest and helpful for future guests: the cabin is on the older side, and it shows in small ways. The porch could definitely use some repairs, the rug has seen better days, and it smells like your grandma's house. But these were minor details in the bigger picture. The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped — a perfect home base for fishing, hiking, and relaxing with family.
One unusual thing did happen during our stay: late at night, while my kids were asleep, a Sheriff came knocking, saying there had been a report of an argument in the cabin. It was a strange and unsettling moment, especially since there was no issue and he could clearly see the kids fast asleep. Thankfully, it was quickly resolved, and it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of our trip.
All in all, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Gull Lake Lodge to families looking for an authentic mountain getaway — just know to expect a bit of rustic charm along with the natural beauty!
