About this property
Only a short walk to the lake! Or a Short ride to the trails!
Looking to escape up north and enjoy the Lake? Miles upon miles of trails for your ORV. Rest and Recharge at our cottage with room to sleep 8. Walking distance from St. Helen Lake for water recreation. Open floor plan w/ 1 bed and bath on 1st floor. 1 full bedroom and another for the "little's" upstairs (This room is only about 5 foot tall. An adult will not be able to stand upright in this room). Trail access is just down the road and everything in town can be accessed with your ORV or snowmobile sled!
The space
Enjoy a calm relaxed getaway in our cottage where you can stroll down to the lake, rest on the deck or light up the charcoal grill to cook the catch of the day. Out back, cook some S'mores or enjoy a cold one by the fire. Inside we invite you to open the hallway closet where you will find our supply of puzzles or a board games to play at the kitchen table. (there is a leaf under the table that can be opened to make it larger) You can also hop in the car and enjoy Houghton lake or Higgins Lake with just a short drive.
Guest access
You will have access to the whole cottage with the exception of the 2 Garages.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Blaise Rosser

We enjoy coming up to the cottage ourselves when it is not rented to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It just feels like everything slows down when we are up there and gives us the opportunity to enjoy some family time.
Why they chose this property
It is a very short drive to the trails and an even shorter walk to the lake.
What makes this property unique
Our cozy little cottage has modern conveniences of wifi, but there are board games and a few decks of cards in the closet if you are trying to get away from all that technology and let the vacation come to you.
