Lake access is just a short walk away or less than a 1 minute car ride. Your Otsego Lake Oasis is a 50' by 70' private lot that borders both the lake and a canal. There is an additional firepit with 6 camping chairs on the lake lot. Plenty of room to play games, secure boats on the dock, swim on the sandy bottom or just lay in the sun.

Can you park at the lake lot? Yes, either on the road or on the lot.

How is the parking at the house? There is a long circular driveway making it easy to navigate snowmobile, ATV and boat trailers. There is room for several vehicles.

Does the home have air conditioning. No. However, the home stays comfortably cool because of the tall shade trees.

How is the lake lot bordered? It has a seawall that runs the entire length of the lake front and into the canal. There is a dock you can walk onto and separate steps to walk into the water.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great place!

We arrived for a 3 day girls weekend. The house was easily accessible, very clean, and there was plenty of parking space for everyone. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had, even offered to let us stay a bit later on checkout day so we could enjoy of kid and husband free time a bit more. Thank you for a great stay!!!

Everything was awesome. At nights, I particularly liked the large family table for meals and games. The water is a short walk away--there isn't a beach. The public beach is a short drive away, however.

The owners were very quick with communication and extremely friendly and helpful with activities in the area. The cabin was nicer than it looked like in the pictures. Everyone that stayed there was very happy with the place and will be booking for out trip next year if it’s available.

Golf trip

House was simple and a great place to stay. Pictures were slightly deceptive. Based on pictures it appears the property is on the water but it is not. There is a property that you are able to use to access the lake.

Just what we were looking for our extended family.

The cabin, amenities were as described, with plenty of space and comfortable beds. We were in a great spot for our day trips, Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Gaylord. We did not use the lake, since we were more focused on our day trips. Enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

Family vacation

I must say first, very clean and well stocked. It is a beautiful place, very roomy. We enjoyed the firepit, deck, and I loved that it had washer/dryer, dish washer, and two bathrooms! Kids loved the loft area and the giant tv during the rainy day. We had two boats with us and they tied to the dock wonderfully. We felt secure leaving them there. Great place to stay!

We (two families) came up for a weekend in Gaylord and surrounding area. This was the perfect home base! We spent the days at Boyne Mountain and Treetops, and also did dinner in Gaylord. The property is private and felt very safe. We loved it! Recommend 100%.
