We had a blast. There were eight of us at the house all there for a golf weekend. No complaints and plenty of room and amenities to make us more than comfortable.
This cozy home is a good fit for families. The place provides kitchen gear, kayaks, canoe, board games, crib, outdoor firepit, etc. The host was super friendly and helpful.

Great house and location for lake activity. We lefty of room and seating. Very comfortable!
Had a great time with our group, had 8 guys stay the weekend. House was rustic, clean, and met all of our needs. Close proximity to our activities, and communication with the owner was very good. Thanks for a fun weekend!

Place to relax
Good value as it accommodates a lot of people and is well stocked with all the essentials. We needed a much needed RnR and this place allowed us to do that as we were able to cook, play lots of games, ring in the new year, watch bowl games and spend quality time with family!
Lots of seating for meals, games, and visiting both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed our stay. A good value even with the additional guest fee not listed in the details. Kevin responded to our questions.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Poor communication with owners
Owners didn’t tell us AC wasn’t working until AFTER we checked in. They had installed 2 window units before we checked in but bedrooms were very hot and stuffy with doors closed at night. Then we arrived home from an outing during our stay and there was a contractor IN the house but we were NOT notified beforehand so we could protect our valuables and he was there for 3 hours making it hard to gain access to the kitchen during lunchtime for our kids. Owner was not present and said they had no idea he was there. House also has a musty smell which is especially prevalent in entryway and garage. House was sufficient for our time but we are glad we left when we did.
The group had a great time at the house. We had never been to Gaylord before and it was very good experience.
We had a lot of space a for two families traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans etc. The backyard grill was great. There were Kayaks on site but we didn't have time to use them. There was extra soaps on hand if you need them too. Pretty much every chain restaurant and Meijer is up there.
A small downside was if people (our wild children) are roaming around upstairs and you're in a first floor bedroom. You will hear it. But it wasn't a huge issue for us.
It was very easy to find and there is loads to do in the area. Just me mindful that all the bars close around 10pm.
We recommend the Iron Pig, Ostego State Park, Young State Park, and going to the Skybridge at Boyne Mt. The gals also got pedicures at Salon Bliss it was wonderful!
We'd love to come back!
My family has vacationed together for 6 years now, trying to visit a different Michigan lake each year. Otsego Lake was a fairly quiet area although close to needed grocery stores, etc. Kevin was easy to contact and was helpful and easy to talk to. The only thing that would’ve made this stay better is if the house had been on the water. We survived the short walk there with the various items all of our family members wanted to enjoy.
The property owners were so kind and went out of their way to make our stay very pleasant. The home was very clean and had plenty of things available to us to use during our stay. Thanks Drummond’s
This property was perfect for our family reunion. It has plenty of space inside and outside for gatherings and group meals. The location is conveniently close to the state and county parks, golf and downtown Gaylord restaurants and shops. This property offers all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay!
The cottage/property was a great basecamp for our three week Gaylord Getaway. Clean, comfortable, cozy house with charming private back yard. Conveniently located for shopping in Gaylord and exploring the surrounding tip of the Michigan Mit. The owners, Kevin and Jackie Drummond, are fantastic hosts, very accommodating, sweet people. I would definitely rent from them again. Thank you for a great stay!!
Great location for a Gaylord golf trip. Easy to get to golf resorts and Gaylord downtown area. older property but well managed and clean. Water had "mineral" smell quality that might be common in the area.
The house was good size for us and very clean. Only problem was the floor on the upstairs is very noisy to those below especially early in the morning. Owner was very nice and kept in contact with us for anything we might need.
This was a perfect place for our group of nine. Kevin was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and during our stay.

What a awesome place with lots of room
The only negative thing I can say is the beds up stairs need new mattresses!! (So I’m told as I sleep down stairs)
That’s it!!
The place is great other then that.
Would stay again for sure!!
Thanks Kevin for all your hospitality!!

Nice stay for our group
We had five people in our group for a snowmobile weekend around Gaylord. The weather cooperated and the accommodations were perfect for our needs. The landlord was very accommodating and checked in to make sure everything was OK. The house was close to the main trail and worked great. It was a nice place to relax after a long day of riding.

Wonderful!
House was clean and inviting. Plenty of space for the entire family and 3 friends of our children's. Only complaint is that the mattress in the master was very uncomfortable- then again- most rentals don't have quality mattresses. Kevin was super kind and helpful. Got to meet him in person. Would stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin Drummond
My wife Jackie and I have been married for twenty eight years. We have seven children. In the year 2000 we moved to Gaylord from the Grand Rapids area and fell in love with Gaylord immediately. We knew this is where we wanted to raise our children. All but one still reside in Gaylord or with us. Jackie is from Iowa and I am from Holland Mi. We enjoy all outdoor activities from hunting, fishing, skiing to boating and just relaxing on the pontoon with our kids. We are about 3 miles from the cabin and are available at anytime to help make your stay enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
We always wanted to own a cabin that we could enjoy for ourselves, family and friends. With all that Gaylord has to offer we decided to get into the vacation rentals and this is our only one. Our goal is to have your stay the most enjoyable stay ever.
What makes this property unique
The interior in this home gives you the Up North feel and enjoyment you are looking for. There is plenty of room and very cozy
