You can always count on golfing during these scenic seasons. The Natural, Gaylord Country Club, The Ridge, The Loon, The Lakes, Otsego Club, & Treetops are just a few of the many public courses nearby.

Winter: Access Trail 7 at the end of the road and head all the way to Mackinac or enjoy miles and miles of local groomed and marked snowmobile trails. Room for your trailer of sleds on property or rent locally. Skiing options galore: Otsego and Treetops (15 minutes), Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek and Boyne Mountain (30 minutes).

Weekend retreat
A clean little home with a view! There was plenty to do both at the home and in the surrounding town. Jason has the house well stocked and is quick to respond if you need anything. Would stay here again if ever in the area.

Cute little cottage
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend. Overall a very nice little cottage on a quiet lake. Beautiful views and property. The kitchen could have used a few more tools and cookware, but we were able to figure it out.

Great Up North getaway
This lake house was great. So many amenities to keep everybody busy and happy for the whole stay. The grandkids (5 and 6) had a blast and the grownups had plenty to do and not be on top of each other. The lake was quiet and mostly unused by others. Fishing was so/so but not bad. There is a spider that lives on the end of the dock - we named him George. He owns the dock past 9pm and is not afraid to let you know this. Our beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and having laundry on site was amazing. Location was super close to both Grayling and Gaylord. Easy access to I-75.

Wonderful trip for our family
The lake house was very nice and clean. I was a little nervous with only having 1 bathroom for 10 people but it worked out better than I had expected. Loved having the kayaks & paddle boards to go out on the lake. The kids loved swimming & fishing the most. Good location to go to Mackinaw Island. It was only an hour drive to the ferry. Would definitely stay here again!

Great time, very relaxing
Our annual sisters trip was a success! Everything we needed to relax and rest was here and to have access to the lake right from our yard was the best. Very clean lake and stores were close enough if we needed something. Would definitely go back.

Perfect Family Getaway
My husband and I took our daughter and 4 grandkids here for a 3 night stay and it was wonderful. Plenty for everyone to do. Lots to do in Gaylord and a Town Park is right up the road. A very nice getaway.

Perfect weekend away
The house was quaint and right on the water of a gorgeous lake. The house had everything we needed and wanted. The owner was very responsive to questions and was great to work with. We are already planning our return visit, this time with the kids.

Quiet, rustic wooded sanctuary right on the lake
This was our second time staying at this property. We love that it is right on the lakefront, but also has a rustic wooded area with a fire pit. It is very private and quiet here on this lake. We stayed here with 12 of my family members, 7 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of sleeping room, and something to do for everyone. There were kayaks, and paddle boards. The private Sandy beach is great for kids to play. There is a dock for fishing. We brought our own poles, life jackets, etc but there was also a great supply available at the house for your use if needed. The fire pit area is great and has plenty of seating for a large group. We also love the large covered porch area. Even on a rainy day you can still sit outside and not get wet. Anything you need is there and available to use. There is a large playground just down the road too. Jason, the host was amazing to work with and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We just love the setting of this house and all of the surroundings and would to return for a third year.

Perfect Getaway
We stayed for a week. I loved this house. The lake was right there and the toys to play on it kept my kids entertained for days. The neighbors were also delightful and friendly. For me, I loved to sit outside in the early morning with a coffee and book and enjoy the early morning view. Also great places to walk. My kids also enjoyed the nearby park too. I didn't want to leave. This tops the list of cabin getaway on a lake, private, spacious, fun... the works.
