BRINGING A BOAT? Please let us know for valuable information! We can accommodate a boat up to 18 feet. We are on a two track along side the lake and on a dead end so it makes it difficult to trailer both your vehicle and boat attached on trailer down the road so any boat especially bigger than 18' should put the boat in the water first as you have to pass up the boat launch enroute to the cottage and both drivers of boat and vehicle w/trailer can meet at Sunrise which is only less than 2 blocks distance from launch so its really close otherwise you will have issues. Please be so kind and let host know you are bringing a boat so we can give you details to make your arrival seamless. There is one whole side of the dock for guest usage, no lift.
WINTER/SNOWMOBILE/CROSS COUNTRY SKI/SKI HILLS: Snowmobile DNR trails right behind cottage, Trail # 7 and Ski Hills nearby for the Winter Enthusiasts! All kinds of Cross-Country Ski Trails nearby. In this area, you will find the gently sloping terrain, heavily wooded forests and deep annual snowfall ideal for Nordic skiing. It is also not uncommon to see plentiful wildlife out on the trail. Limited parking, please ask!
Although our property is professionally plowed, we do STRONGLY recommend that you have a 4 wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle to access this property in winter months.
GOLF: Lots of golf courses nearby which include world-class resorts and championship golf designed by some of America's top golf course designers, the Gaylord area is your dream golf destination.
