Relax and Unwind at the Pine

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Pine House. There was plenty of room for our family of 7. The home was spacious, beds were comfy and the covered porch a bonus when the rain came. You can't beat the location, just minutes from the beach and clubhouse and a short drive to town. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Perfect is an Understatement

This location is such a hidden gem! In a neighborhood but still tucked away for privacy this location is such a nice place. The inside was outstanding as well and the pictures truly do not do this place justice! Definitely a must stay!

Cozy New Years Vacay

Our family had an excellent stay at this cozy pine house! Loved all of the little extras from the decor to the blankets and holiday lights. The main room is fantastic with high ceiling and the bunk beds were fun for the kids. We also enjoyed all of the closets and the washer/ dryer. Will definitely stay again!!!

Great Up North family and friend getaway

The house was great for our two-family party of 10. We loved the location, the comfortable, spacious living areas, and the deck in the back. The house was in a tranquil, quiet area, but had nearby amenities. We used the home as a base for a daytrips around Northern MI.

Cabin in the woods

The cabin was a lovely getaway in the Michaywe community. It was a little trek out to Hwy 32. We had a short visit yet we enjoyed using the grill, the firepit, the association's pool and sauna.

Great cabin

We enjoyed our stay. It had everything we were looking for in a getaway. Host was amazing, very accommodating and helpful. Will recommend this to anyone that needs to get away that wants out door activity. Opal lake was awesome, the staff there are very friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Thank you Todd and Beth.

Great Place to Unwind After a Day on the Slopes!

We just got back from an impromptu ski weekend at the Otsego Club (less than 15 minutes away) and really enjoyed our stay at the Pine House. It was a perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes with 7 teenagers and 4 adults, everyone was comfortable in this spotless home and enjoyed the wide variety of movies that were provided by the owner. There was even plenty of room and everything we needed (pots and pans, plates, bowls, utensils for 11 people) to make a big breakfast for the gang before heading out to the slopes in the morning. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Great Value

I spent 2 nights in this home with grandparents, parents and teens. We had a great time. The home is very clean, warm and comfortable. The house is well supplied with everything we needed. The owner is as warm and friendly as the home. It is an excellent value and, if we go back to the area next year, we will definitely stay again. Thanks so much.

Quiet Get Away

We had two families (8 people) share this house. It was cute and cozy and just the right size. There is no air conditioning, which was an oversight on our part. Luckily it was a cool Michigan weekend. Very close to Gaylord. Loved the wildlife we saw.

the Pine House

Inside is excellent; great layout for a large group and all our stuff. Location was perfect for fishing the upper Manistee and AuSable rivers. Close to town but quiet and secluded. Outside is rough; no yard maintenance done and there were a lot of caterpillars on the outside of the house. Made it hard to use the outside spaces but that wasn't an issue for us.

Very happy that you enjoyed the house, at least on the inside! The caterpillars are a new problem and we will have to look for a solution to that. We are in the process of letting the "lawn" go back to it's natural state.

The best!

This was a darling house. It was super clean and well maintained. There was tons of space in each room. The kitchen was well equipped. The views were great, we were constantly seeing deer and turkeys. Very close to Gaylord for shopping. We rented this spot because we were working a wedding at Sojourn, it was super close and made our jobs a lot easier! The communication between us and the owners was also great! Thank you!

Girls trip 2024

The location was nice, the grass could have been cut and the outside area needed cleaned up. Lots of leaves, weeds and tall grass. There were a lot of big black carpenter ants, even had some crawling on us at night. Otherwise the location was clean and enough room for all 10 of us to enjoy. Owners were very responsive and friendly via email. Would for sure rent from them again.

Central location for up north adventures

Wonderful home, exactly as described in the listing, and ideally located for day trips to Mackinac, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and inland lakes for fishing. This house was large enough to accommodate our extended family and tree filled neighborhood provided a perfect “up north” feel. Safe, quiet and secluded location without being remote. The pool and restaurant at the clubhouse were an added bonus. The owners were exceptional with communication. The instructions were clear and our late night arrival was no issue. I will definitely consider staying here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
