Beautiful Outside Areas, Could use a little updating

The lake and view were beautiful. The outside firepit area was awesome for sitting outside ad enjoying the evenings. The house could use some updates (mattresses, comfortable furniture, and maybe a bigger shower...we r tall people and it was tough using the low shower head). Overall the week we stayed was good!!

Great rustic getaway on a quiet lake

Beautiful, peaceful setting! Cottage is rustic but not different than advertised - with lots of fans there we didn't miss AC too much. The hosts live right next door and were very responsive the few times we needed them. They proactively communicated around an issue with the fridge before our arrival and took care of it. The lake is definitely a highlight. Water was crystal clear and had good fishing as well. The canoe and boat were great for getting to the good bass spots. The beach needed some cleanup when we arrived but had a nice sandy bottom with some rocks under what we raked out. It is worth noting that the water level was up during our stay versus the pictures on the listing so there was no real sandy beach above the water line to play in.

Best stay ever

My family enjoyed the stay at the cabin a lot. We were fishing, kayaking, swimming, hiking around the lake. The cabin had enough space to accommodate our group of 6. The lake is beautiful. We will defiantly come back! Thank you Philip so much for letting us to stay at your cabin.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Opal Lake is just south of Gaylord and within a three hour drive of most of Southeast Michigan. Gaylord is still like a small town in many ways, but large enough to offer restaurants, shops, movies and other conveniences within a few minutes of the lake. Gaylord is centrally located and many Northern Michigan Highlights are within an hour of Tattrie's Cottage. As well, some of the nations prime fly fishing is found in the Au Sable and other rivers head-watered in Otsego County.

What makes this property unique

This is a lakefront cabin, so the lake is the prime focus. The lake is small enough and remote enough to maintain that Up North atmosphere and yet large enough to enjoy boating, skiing and all water sports. Peace and quiet in God's Country: Northern Michigan. Life on Opal Lake is good.
