Plenty of space for a group. Very nice outdoor area with a sand swimming area. Great dock. Beautiful lake fun. Only issue was windows didn’t open downstairs for a nice lake breeze. We had a amazing time and would definitely be back. Nice neighbors too!

Great location and house

We had a great time at this rental. The home is spacious and the deck’s proximity to the house and water was great for my elderly mother with mobility issues. Thanks for a great stay!

A home away from home

My family and I frequently venture up north during the summer months around the surrounding area. This is the first place we found we'd rather stay at the rental rather than trying to find things to do locally. Perfect family spot! We look forward to staying here again.

Overall the property was fine. The owner, Kurt, was fast responding to messages and pleasant to work with. Only big issue was several windows on main floor didn't open. Might not have been too big of an issue except the week started off in the 90s. It made it very hot in the house. Otherwise a wonderful property.

Girls Weekend

We stayed here for our annual girls weekend. Kurt is amazing to work with. His friendly grounds/maintenance staff even stopped in to check on us..making sure we didnt need anything! The house is very easy to find, clean, stocked, and close to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Plenty of parking too! We would definitely stay here again.

This house was a perfect place for a family weekend… Otsego Lake is gorgeous. We were able to see beautiful sunsets every night from the property.Plenty of room in the kitchen to cook for the family… family room was big enough for everybody to have a place to sit when we were not out playing in the water.My grandkids (3 and 5) were able to walk safely into the water… Very sandy bottom. They were able to walk out quite a long distance. We had a floating lily pad, and tied it to the dock… The kids played on that for hours.House was very clean and had a great breeze coming off of the lake… The upstairs master suite is gorgeous. All of the rooms were great.

Beautiful Location

We had a great time. Found the cottage to be exactly as we thought. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample water toys in the garage. Communications with the property manager was exceptional as he gave us some reco's for shopping and eating in nearby Gaylord. Wasn't a fan of the 6 children next door visiting the Grand parents but hey, that is the risk you run when you rent a cottage in the summer. Truth be told the children were not that big of distraction. We were one of the first visitors as a result we booked with no review...but it was perfect. Really loved the 2 person Kayak. Wouldn't hesitate to rent the cottage again.

I was a little hesitant because it was supposed to be so hot last weekend and this house doesn't have AC, but it is designed so perfectly that all the cool breeze from the lake keeps it comfortable all day. So much great stuff to look at and a huge library of books to read. Great signage that guided you through your stay and plenty of immensities.

Otsego Lake

Had a great weekend on the lake. House was spacious and well equipped. Only negative was that the dock was not in. Our grandsons brought all their fishing gear and were disappointed that they couldn’t fish off the dock.

Beautiful home near the lake

Host was very helpful. Home was right on the lake, we rented out a pontoon that allowed us to enjoy the weather and views of the lake. I recommend anyone looking for a home that has a beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful Lake Getaway

Kurt was a fantastic host, and helped answer any questions we had almost immediately! The place has nice sized bedrooms and a beautiful back deck and pier on the lake. We rented a fishing boat from a place across the street, which I would also highly recommend.
