Northern family adventure

Good location close to ski hills. Some place cozy to come back to after skiing or tubing. Love the pool set up, too bad slide was down. Had fun sight seeing in Gaylord which is nearby.

Great it was just what we were looking for, and a bonus it had a garage for our machines

The cottage was large enough for all of us, and the 2 bathrooms were a bonus for 7 people. We were close to the trails and had a great time.

Nice Remote Getaway

The property was nice and remote with ample space for 6 people. (It would start to get tight after 6 or 7 people) A short drive to the local lake and pool-house, and about 40 minutes from Petoskey and Charlevoix. We enjoyed our stay, Thank you!

Lakes of the North

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lakes of the North. The golf course was in great shape. Nice quiet area. About 20 minutes from Gaylord and an hour or so from Mackinaw Island. We used the pool several times. Beds were comfortable. Andreia and Brian were more than accommodating and made our stay very enjoyable. Would stay here again!

Went for a family vacation

House was perfect for the six of us. It was close to everything we wanted to do. Owners were super friendly. Answered all of are questions. The only complaint we had was the location of the washer and dryer. It is a tight squeeze. But other then that it was Fantastic. Would definitely rent again...

This is just the right place to stay

This home had all the amenities that I had hoped for. The kitchen was wellsupplied, bathrooms were very well supplied with everything Plenty of towel and tissue. We didn't have to bring anything except our personal item. It was a wonderful experience to reconnect our family. Nice and peaceful and private. We really couldn't want for more. Normally, it's rare that i give a 5, but this surpass anything i would ask for. If i could double the score to a 10, this lovely cottage and proprietor are the best. I hope to do this experience again. Thank you.

Great Trip

This was the first time I’ve book an Air B&B for a family vacation. Everything was great. It was clean and was perfect for my family of 6. My only complaint was the host was a little slow replying to me. I sent her a message asking about paying for my dog and I didn’t hear back. I then sent her a text and it was still a while before she replied. I was getting a little nervous. But the day of check in she had good communication and I had no real issues while we were there. If you plan to use the pool make sure you check the hours. We wanted to use it on Thursday and when we got there the pool was closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’d definitely stay again!

Very nice Last minute getaway

My family and I did a last minute getaway and 5his house worked beautifully. Easy check in with Andreia responding to all questions via email in a very reasonable time frame. The home was very clean and had all the necessary items needed for cooking all our meals. We never did anything at the local lakes except check them out which they looked nice enough to spend the day. We did utilize the community pool - it was for a fee but my whole family enjoyed it. Overall, this would be a home that I would recommend to anyone.

Ski trip

Quiet location, convenient to Boyne Mountain and Gaylord. House had plenty of room and beds for our group. Clubhouse with pool is about 3 miles away and only open every other day, we did not end up using it. No dishwasher.

Great rental!

I stayed here with 7 other family members including two 16 year old girls. We had a great time. It was bigger than expected because the kitchen/livingroom is open. We would definitely stay again! The beds were comfortable and the place was clean. Having two full baths was also a plus!

Decent

It's wasn't bad some things we found confusing. (i.e. the picture of the pool) There isn't a pool at the property but she did include a pass to it, unfortunately it was closed during our visit. Overall not a bad stay.

Just what we needed

Nothing but great things to say about our stay here. From the communication/ease of check in, until the time we sadly had to leave, we experienced a pleasant "home away from home" vibe. The cleanliness was outstanding and there was a relaxed atmosphere that was very calming. We would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area. P.S. - the waterside at the community center is highly recommended....even for aging Gen X'ers.

Our family enjoyed staying at this cottage. It was very clean and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet, too.

About the host

Hosted by ANDREIA SPICER

We are an outdoor family that love to ride our side by side on these trails. Our grandkids love all the amenities here. Its a great place for our family reunions!

Why they chose this property

Great place to snowmobile and ride side by side in the summer. Love the state land for hunting and hiking. The private lakes in the association are stocked with fish for the grandkids to check out a row boat and have fun. I can swim at the beach or the indoor pool. The kids love the water slide at the pool and the playgrounds. Golf and horseback riding also. Something for everyone!
