Had reunion with a group of friends. The accommodations were great. Clean, and nice views of the lake.
We stayed for a long weekend. The beds are super comfortable. It was a quiet and lovely stay.
We loved this property. Traveled with my 4 kids (11-20) and a dog It was a well stocked house, including a small but well stocked kitchen, towels, bedding, games, movies, and fun lake entertainment. Everyone slept comfortably, there wasn't a bad room in the house. Despite the lack of AC, in July we stayed cool with the provided fans and open windows. Great fishing in the lake, fun to paddle and swim in, with a floating dock and platform. Lily pads and trilliums on the property thrilled my plant loving heart. Parking was close and easy. Location was great for exploring everything from Mackinac Island to Traverse city. Really, everything was perfect. Loved this place. 10/10 would stay again.
We loved this sweet chalet. It was cozy and had so many extra little touches. Super comfortable beds, great game selections for the kids, kayaks/paddle boats/fishing poles all provided with the listing. We had a great breeze and plenty of windows and fans that made even hot days feel cool for sleeping. The little retro touches were adorable and overall we just were very satisfied with the cabin. Of course the view was amazing and the quiet lake was great for kayaking and fishing. Jared was a rockstar who checked on us and made sure all our needs were met! He went above and beyond! As far as the location we were a simple 10 minutes to groceries, shops and dining. It felt like a country get away but really was so close to everything we needed. We’d definitely recommend this spot!!
This is a great cabin to rent. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of fish to be caught or boats to enjoy. The owner is very responsive and did a great job. I highly recommend this stay for kids and/or adults.
Loved our stay in this beautiful chalet! Felt spacious, the layout worked very well for our group of 5 adults. The pictures can only partially convey the peaceful, fun vibe of this place! We all felt such positive vibes and it just made us happy hanging out here! Lovely decor, lots of supplies that made you feel welcome, and not like you were intruding in someone else’s space. Owner was great to work with as well. We have told lots of friends about this hidden gem and will definitely be back! Highly recommend staying here!
Property is as described. The location and small lake are gorgeous.
Situated on a pretty lake. Great space for whole family. Very clean and well kept.
Such a sweet place to stay!
Out of the way area but 10 minutes from Gaylord. Great location overall. The view of the lake was peaceful and enjoyable.
