Nice property in a quiet area. Enjoyed the peace away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to everything North! The house can get a little bit warm during the nights upstairs. Overall great experience and communication with property manager. Would recommend and already in talks for a return visit next year. Thank you!

Wonderful fall trip

This is our second time at this house. It is very clean and capable of handling multiple families comfortably. Located in a wooded area it was perfect for the fall colors.

We had a great stay. The home is clean, comfortable, and spacious. We rode our ORVs hundreds of miles over the course of the week right from the driveway - no need to trailer.

Golf trip

Very clean cottage and well equipped with everything we needed to cook several meals. The covered front porch and fire pit were our favorite places outside to spend time . We also liked that the cottage was part of the Lakes of the north property development but also pretty secluded. We would definitely book this property again.

House was perfect for our large group of 11, ages 2-45. Pictures don’t do it justice. Lots of space and very cozy. Very private, large backyard with play set. Truly felt like a home away from home. Will be back!

Very Peaceful and Comfortable

This cottage was comfortable, clean, and enjoyable for our entire family of 11. Great communication with the property owner. She also sponsored us so that we could swim at the clubhouse. The pool was awesome and the kids absolutely loved the water slide! This was the perfect location for us to use as a base from which we were able to travel to Mackinaw. Yard has play stuff for the kids and a big fire pit -though we did not use that due to the dry conditions. We really loved our stay!

Family staycation

Very nice house with the cabin feeling. More than enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded. Only down side was the mosquitos at night. Had a bonfire going , several tiki torches and of course the stinky spray. It all helped but we still got bit up. Would recommend spraying the back yard a couple times a month.

About the host

Hosted by ANDREIA SPICER

We are an outdoor family, and love this place. Close to the ATV / snowmobile trails and lakes. The fishing is awesome. The house accommodates our large family reunions. There are lots of activities to keep everyone busy. Everyone loves the new clubhouse pool and hot tub!

Why they chose this property

All around fun for everyone.

What makes this property unique

The connecting trail system is groomed, scenic, and goes in every direction. This snowbelt area provides great riding without having to travel farther north. We are also close to skiing. The summer is just as fun with ATV trails, the lakes, golfing, fishing, and the state land provides excellent hunting and fishing. Tour northern Michigan hot spots from this central location. Petoskey, Traverse City, Mackinaw City, and Mackinaw Island... my favorite.
