The lake effect house was a great place to stay for our ski weekend. Very clean, had just about anything we could need
We were very pleased and comfortable with the accommodations and our stay. We are planning to book this place again! The place was clean & spacious, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the view out to the lake was awesome!
Perfect stay for our golf trip. Short drive to the courses and downtown Gaylord.
The home was clean, comfortable and spacious. The lake is good for kayaks. It was scenic and relaxing, and close to many cities and activities if one chooses.
We all really liked it. Just wish the water had a better beach and a little cleaner. Wanted to swim. Kayaking was fun.
The property was as promised. It was clean, updated, quiet. great location. We had an amazing time sitting outside on the patio, kayaking and fishing. I would definitely would book again.
Great place!
Stayed for a week. Completely updated and very clean. Very enjoyable stay.
We loved our stay here. Often, we go to a rental and it's not as good as the pictures or the beds are uncomfortable or the kitchen doesn't have something we need. That was not the case here!! The house is beautiful, the area is quiet and relaxing, everything you could possibly need is in the kitchen. The host was amazing to communicate with. We will be back! ?
Our stay was awesome. Had a great time on the kayaks and paddle boat. The house was beautiful and very clean. Very peaceful place. Had a bon fire every night. Loved having the garage as well. When the storms hot we were still able to play cornhole. My family and I thank you so much for letting us into your home.
I took my niece and nephew on a short trip and this house was perfect for us! We had plenty of space, were very comfortable and had everything we needed (a dish drying rack would have been nice). We had a great day trip to Gaylord and a second day at the house where we caught more than 35 fish from shore (sunfish, bluegill, perch, a few small catfish, and 1 smallmouth bass). We also enjoyed some time in the kayaks and I dominated at the air hockey table. Thanks for sharing your house! Would definitely recommend to others and consider renting again!
From the moment I booked until I left the owner of this property was fantastic. She was quick to answer any questions I had. This house is adorable. It's the perfect quiet getaway. I took my Mom to celebrate her 70th birthday and beating cancer with my Aunts and cousin. We wanted a relaxing vacation to let go of all that stress. Boy was this trip needed! The basement was a perfect quiet area for my cousin and I to get away. The porch swing were our favorite. Sitting in those looking out the water was what we looked forward to the most. We will definitely be back to this little slice of heaven.
Our first Christmas get away with the whole family. We loved it. Sleigh ride at Cooks Family Farm was awesome too.
We wanted a place close enough to town to go for dinner but secluded enough that we felt by ourselves. This place checked all boxes, we had great meals in town and some wonderful nights around the fire pit too unwind. We will definitely plan to come back.
My family and I were in town for my son’s wedding in Gaylord and stayed at Lake Effect House. It was everything we imagined plus more. Lindsay did a great job with this house! It is warm and welcoming. I especially liked the fireplace to sit by and relax. The beds were comfortable and the house had all the amenities you could ask for. The lake view is beautiful and even though it was late October, my nephew went in the water. The only bad thing about the property is the dirt roads leading to the house. There are so many potholes in the road which led to a very bumpy ride. Overall, we loved staying at this property and working with Lindsay. We will be back hopefully when the weather is warmer.
Loved everything about this cute house: very clean, comfortable and great communication with the owner!
Fantastic spot and the host was a joy to communicate with. You’ll love this place!
The kindness and attentiveness of the owner and quality of the property were the two things that stood out on our stay.
We stayed at Lindsey’s cabin for our family’s extended Michigan vacation. The cabin’s location was great and Lindsey was an excellent host. Whether you want to stay and explore the Gaylord area, or like us, take a couple day trips to Mackinaw, this is a great spot to stay.
The property was perfect for us! Plenty of room to spread out yet the living room/ kitchen was a great place to gather. We used the kayaks, row boat and firepit. My only recommendation to future renters, bring ice and toilet paper.
Nice peaceful small lake. Great for kayaking and hanging out. The cabin is inviting and makes you feel like home. The fire pit setup was nice as well. The owners were nice & accessible and check in and out was very easy. Would definitely rent this property again.
We had a great time! The house was very comfortable, plenty of space. Directions were very clear. Quick 10-15 minute drive to whatever you need. Would definitely return!
Property was very nice had some minor issues with broken items in the house when we arrived. Biggest disappointment there was no dock and water was mucky for swimming and there was no way to put a personal boat in the lake. Kitchen appliances were very nice and furniture was nice as well and adequate space to hang out with family.
Cute little place on a lake. The house and amenities were great. Fishing was not the best and not the greatest for swimming, but the kids did both regardless. Lindsay was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to enjoy up north but still be close to the amenities of Gaylord.
