Why the Owner Chose Gaylord
Gaylord fit our needs, as we wanted to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the outdoors, while still having the conveniences of a nearby city. Gaylord is home to many golf courses, lakes and beaches for summertime enjoyment, and it is also located in the middle of the Michigan Snow Belt, allowing us to ski, snowmobile and sled. Michaywe Owners Association also fit our needs as it has it's own indoor pool, beach and playground, perfect for our growing family.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Over the years, our family has had bonfires with s'mores, songwriting and games of "telephone", walks in the woods, bike rides, long days at the beach, snowmobile rides, quiet time with our own families as well as large family reunions, boating excursions, movie and game nights, fire-side chats and stargazing. As our children have grown, and we are lured by other vacation destinations, we have used our vacation home less and less. We are now offering it to others to enjoy as we have. Joining VRBO (only a month ago) has been a joy, as I have learned that mushroom hunting is a spring-time sport in Gaylord and also how to make a "dough boy" by an open fire.
This beach is used only by Michaywe members and guests. It is a quiet sandy beach with a clubhouse, bathrooms, volleyball net and a playground.
The clubhouse has an indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, tennis courts, and restuarant. Michawye Pines Golf Course features secluded fairways winding through beautiful white birch and pine forests along
Owner's Map of Gaylord
In 2000, our family set out to buy the perfect Up North vacation home. Our clan consisted of my husband and myself, (pregnant with our first child), my sister, her husband and their daughter Brittany, and my mom. After a few weekends looking around the northern part of the Lower Peninsula, two-thirds of us came upon the Pine House. That two-thirds convinced the other one-third (my husband and I) to buy the home sight-unseen, as they were so anxious to make it our own. We made the leap, and nine years later (and a total of six more children later) we are still enjoying our Up North vacation retreat.
