Beautiful house with a great kitchen and nice sized rooms. We really loved the property.
We enjoyed our family time of cooking together and playing games. We went to the Otsego County Park just down the road and our children loved the playground and played all day.

Everything was awesome. At nights, I particularly liked the large family table for meals and games. The water is a short walk away--there isn't a beach. The public beach is a short drive away, however.

Stayed there July 4th weekend. Loved the place.
Property manager - very responsive and helpful.
The property has private lake side area, pit, chair - ask property manager for details. We missed it, but you can enjoy there, swimming, fishing, renting boat etc.

House was simple and a great place to stay. Pictures were slightly deceptive. Based on pictures it appears the property is on the water but it is not. There is a property that you are able to use to access the lake.

Hi Andrew, Sorry you felt that the pictures were not accurate. But our listing descripes a few minute walk to the lake. When you booked we sent you a packet of information with a map to get to your private lake lot. Sorry if that was not clear enough. Glad you enjoyed the house.
We were very pleased with the location to all of our courses we were playing. The communication process was seamless, and timely. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your cabin.

Thank you for the opportunity to host you. We’re delighted that our home and location were perfect for your golfing needs. You’re welcome back anytime!
Just what we were looking for our extended family.
The cabin, amenities were as described, with plenty of space and comfortable beds. We were in a great spot for our day trips, Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Gaylord.
We did not use the lake, since we were more focused on our day trips. Enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

Great for a group or family to stay together for vacation. Better & less expensive than a hotel for multiple families/friends. Quick and accommodating response if there are any questions or concerns.

We’re glad to hear that our home comfortably accommodated your friends and family. We agree that having the comfort of a house is much more convenient and cost-effective. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future.
I must say first, very clean and well stocked. It is a beautiful place, very roomy. We enjoyed the firepit, deck, and I loved that it had washer/dryer, dish washer, and two bathrooms! Kids loved the loft area and the giant tv during the rainy day. We had two boats with us and they tied to the dock wonderfully. We felt secure leaving them there. Great place to stay!

Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It means a lot to us. You’re always welcome back anytime!
We (two families) came up for a weekend in Gaylord and surrounding area. This was the perfect home base! We spent the days at Boyne Mountain and Treetops, and also did dinner in Gaylord. The property is private and felt very safe. We loved it! Recommend 100%.
