House just outside Gaylord- Quiet getaway -Wi-Fi

Great set up. More than enough room for a single family, could easily fit 2 families, maybe 3. Well taken care of, clean, well stocked (much better than any home rentals we've been in to) - plenty of bedding, pillows, towels. Kitchen was really the best vacation rental kitchen I've seen - GOOD pots & pans, plenty of flatware, silverware, bakeware, towels, & extras like a crockpot. Excellent game/play room (our boys LOVED it) - TV, gaming system, several board games, & even a shuffle board! We all loved that there was lake/swimming access near by. You have access to the clubhouse & pool as well but we never made it there. Good drivable distance from lots of activities - less than an hour from Traverse City, Boyne City, & Mackinaw City to mention a few. Outside area was nice but we didn't really use it - well maintained porch and patio furniture - a fire pit area with plenty of seating. Personally loved that there is a recycling tub besides the trash can in the garage, also several drop off spots in Gaylord. The AC unit is a portable unit & took a few minutes to figure out but we really only needed it a couple nights before the weather cooled down. After that the house stayed nice & cool (follow the directions in the binder, it works great to keep it regulated in the warmer months). Communication can be a little delayed if you go through the site, but I never felt anything was urgent enough to bother the owner on their cell#. Great vacation rental overall! Absolutely recommend!

The house was the perfect size and everyone had room to spread out. It appears they have an old hot tub in a back storage room that causes the entire house to have a musty mildew smell. We were concerned with not having air conditioning but with the standing unit downstairs and fans upstairs it was fairly decently cool with outside temps in the 70s. We were disappointed we were unable to use the pool or gym amenities due to an unexpected large fee not listed on expedias site. Luckily the lake was close by and the kids enjoyed it. Kitchen was well stocked fridge needs new shelves on the door made it hard to keep organized but not a big deal. Fire pit was nice well stocked with wood. Water pressure was decent but the shower screams at you sometimes,we found that funny. Lots of stairs and not the best handrails for those who struggle. Kids enjoyed the game room and we were happy the table had enough chairs for our whole group. One person complained the upstairs queen bed was too hard but others were happy with their sleeping places. They provided plenty of towels and laundry pods. We think the dishwasher needs some love it looked very dirty and had a funky smell. Overall we had a good time but would probably choose a different place based on not having pool access, no air conditioning, and the odd smell in the house.

Had a great time clean comfortable and would recommend and stay again

We had a great time. We had stayed here last summer and chose to return this year. Matt is extremely helpful and responds very quickly if questions do arise. We would stay here again

We were very happy with the property. The host was very helpfull and answered questions we had promptly. He was also very patient with me as I was a little confused about the pool clubhouse usage.

This is exactly what we needed. Absolutely loved our stay. Very well maintained and equipped.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was well kept and available. Our only issue were wifi issues and musty smell in house.

This space was great for our needs! Always appreciate a pet-friendly property. The king bed downstairs was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. They yard space is well maintained and great to spend time in. Having two living spaces and the big dining table was perfect for us as we were working remotely part of the time - the wifi was great the whole time we were there as well. The hard surfaces in the home were very clean; however, the carpet and soft surfaces need a deep clean/refresh. Our socks/bottom of feet were very dirty when walking around on the carpeted areas and faint smell of dog throughout (which is to be expected to an extent but was more than we have encountered in other properties). The downstairs bathroom tub and sink drains need to be cleared out as well, both drained very slowly. Overall, was a fairly clean home but needs some TLC. We would definitely return if these were noted as being addressed.

The property is very remote, several miles outside of Gaylord, but for us, that was part of the appeal. The rental offers plenty of room for a large family or group, with 5 beds (3 in the kids rooms), as well as a pull out sofa in the living room and a comfy sectional that could work as a bed in the huge rec room. Our son especially loved this area, with a big tv, video games and comfy seating. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials. And, the fire pit was so nice at night, surrounded by quiet woods. Best of all, the area is an hour or so from Mackinaw City, Traverse City, Petoskey and not much further to Sleeping Bear Dunes. All in all, it was a great up north experience. The host was super quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definately stay again.

Awesome house, clean fun time.

We enjoyed our stay here and Lakes of the North.

We enjoyed our two week stay. The owner was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond.
