Guesthouse in Woods

This is a beautiful guesthouse that is super clean, well maintained, and has all the necessary amenities. It is off the beaten path and very quiet, but easy to access, and a great location for the Gaylord area. A great value!

Golf Weekend

The house worked great for a foursome of golfers. The house is clean, comfortable and in great shape. The location works great for golf since there are many courses within 30 minutes. The location is very peaceful.

Beautiful Home All the Way Around

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, serene, peaceful. VERY clean and cozy. We will be back. We stayed for snowmobiling and it was a perfect location to catch the trail head.

Quiet and relaxing stay

Our family had a great time here. Everything was as described in the listing. It was very clean and cozy. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed to be well-supplied. The outdoors can be enjoyed with coffee on the deck or a fire. The kids enjoyed visiting the friendly cows.

Perfect for our Family

The stay here was great from check-in to check-out. My husband and I brought our two teenagers, their friend, and our two younger boys. The space was perfect - we had all we needed and more. We were most pleased with the cleanliness and quality of bedding, furniture, and really the entire house/property. We hope to stay again, some day!
