Up North Getaway: Cozy Lake Arrowhead Cabin with Hot Tub & Prime Location!
THE SPACE
Escape to the peace and tranquility of Lake Arrowhead at this updated, cozy 3-bedroom, 1-bath cabin in Gaylord. Offering lake views, modern comforts, and air conditioning for those hot summer days, this retreat has everything you need for a Northern Michigan getaway. Nestled just minutes from golf, biking, and hiking trails, adventure is always close by. Downtown Gaylord’s Alpine Village is only a short drive away. After a day of exploring, return for a family BBQ on the deck, unwind in the year-round hot tub, or gather around the fire pit (bring your own wood) for stargazing—and if you’re lucky, even the Northern Lights!
