    The best lake experience! This lake cottage was perfect for our families Michigan lake getaway. It's located on Heart Lake which is a quiet private lake just on the edge of Gaylord. Tom was a gem of a host and made us feel so welcome! The cabin is comfortable and equipped with everything you need, but the true magic is from the private dock. There are paddle boards and kayaks to use complete with life vests and we could not get our boys off the lake. A perfect experience for us out of towners looking to live lake life for a few days.

    Super cute “cottage” on Heart Lake. The property was spotless and the hosts were very accommodating, asking us to make sure to contact them if we needed anything. We didn’t need anything. Everything was already there at our fingertips. The weather was wonderful and we were able to make full use of the kayaks. Heart Lake is crystal clear and a pleasure to kayak on, as it has a no wake area and is quite quiet even in the area where a wake is allowed. Would highly recommend.

    My wife & I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage. Everything we could need was provided, and the owners Tom & Lynette were friendly and responsive to any need. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and it was easy to find everything we needed, and everything we needed for, say, cooking, was readily available. Loved sitting down by the water at the beginning and end of the day, and paddleboarding out on the lake was a real treat.

    We loved our stay on Heart Lake! The cottage was clean, cute, comfy and stocked with everything we needed. Tom and Lynnette are so friendly and accomodating. We loved kayaking and paddleboarding every morning, swimming to the floating dock, having bonfires every night, and just enjoying the sheer beauty of the lake. So relaxing and enjoyable! Lots of great restaurants locally and a nice walking/bike path across the street for morning exercise. It was a great experience!

    Great lakefront getaway for our family! The home was very clean and plenty of room for our family of five. Wonderful extras including a boat with an electric motor, kayaks as well as paddle boards for our use. Close proximity to golf and dining. Hosts were very hospitable and easily accessible. Would absolutely enjoy visiting again.
