Great Vacation Spot!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location of the cottage is great! It is private and secluded but close enough to the town of Gaylord. The cottage is clean and cozy. The view of the lake is beautiful and is great for fishing and loon watching. We absolutely loved this place and hope to be back again.

Great time, very relaxing

Our annual sisters trip was a success! Everything we needed to relax and rest was here and to have access to the lake right from our yard was the best. Very clean lake and stores were close enough if we needed something. Would definitely go back.

The house was quaint and right on the water of a gorgeous lake. The house had everything we needed and wanted. The owner was very responsive to questions and was great to work with. We are already planning our return visit, this time with the kids.

Cute little cottage

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend. Overall a very nice little cottage on a quiet lake. Beautiful views and property. The kitchen could have used a few more tools and cookware, but we were able to figure it out.

Wonderful Place

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is so beautiful. It was so clean and well stocked with everything. Our family enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. We also enjoyed the indoor games and the nice porch and great view of the lake. Our host was very friendly and quick to respond. We had a wonderful stay.
