Beautiful and relaxing getaway! This home is gorgeous and very well taken care of. Highly recommend! It’s also close enough to everything in Gaylord but far enough away to feel relaxing. Also very close to Otsego lake which is beautiful!

This was a girls trip with 8 ladies. We go to a different place every year and this was the best one so far. The house and property are AMAZING! We spent the day floating on rafts in the pond, playing games and a bonfire at night. The house was accommodating with a well stocked kitchen. We loved it so much we plan to book again next year.

This place was awesome! Went for a golf trip with 6 people. We had plenty of room. Definitely could have had 12 stay here. The house had everything you would need and was very clean. The garage game room was so clutch. The property is secluded and well maintained. Overall we were very pleased with everything. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very spacious inside and out. We used it for a golf trip as there are many excellent courses nearby over Memorial Day weekend. We have gone to the area for decades and already familiar. The garage turned into a bar room with pool/ ping pong table and darts was a game changer.

Peaceful and beautiful

The home and property were beautiful. A lot of space both inside and out of the home. Quiet and secluded home but close to many cities and things to explore. Would rent this property again.

Fantastic Area

Yearly family vacation in a large home and convenient area. This cabin on 40 acres gave us everything we were looking for and more. Beth, the owner, was awesome! We had a couple of issues during our stay, and she was RIGHT on it! If your looking for a nice cabin in the woods, this is definitely it!

Great family place with lots to do

Beth was very friendly and readily available if I had questions the whole time. The kids loved the filtered pond and the location was great for us to take our side by sides on the trails! House had an awesome game room with pool and ping pong and kitchenette. We already plan on returning later this year!

2 Days in Heaven

The most beautiful, quiet, and serene property I've ever stayed at. 5 minutes off the highway, but we never heard a thing. Centrally located in the center of the state... we went to Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, and Wolverine and never felt like we were on the road for very long.
