Relax in the comfort of this all season, lakefront vacation home. This 3-Bedroom, 1½-Bath home accomodates 6 adults with all of the amenities of home. Queen beds in all 3 bedrooms. The property is located on a large wooded lot with a wrap-around deck overlooking 200 feet of shoreline on Lake Arrowhead.Spring / Summer- Morel mushroom hunting, nature walks, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and golf. Gaylord is known as the 'Golf Mecca of the Midwest.' The area features over 20world class courses. Most are less than 30 minutes away. Fall / Winter- Beautiful fall colors, downhill and cross county skiing and snowmobiling. Gaylord is centrally located inside Michigan's 'Snowbelt', receiving abundant snowfall each winter. Gaylord's trail system connects thousands of miles of marked and groomed trails.

Family Activities-: Keeping the kids happy can make or break a vacation, but when visiting Otsego County, boredom is never a consideration. When the weather won't cooperate or the little ones have just plain run out of things to do, that's when it's time to venture out and discover the many attractions that can put smiles back on their faces. The Otsego County Sportsplex, where kids and grownups can swim in an Olympic-size pool or rent a pair of skates an take to the ice for 'wintertime' fun, even as the sidewalks are sizzling outside. Adjacent to the Sportsplex is the Energy Outlet, a quaint park filled with slides, swings and climbing equipment, all designed to delight and distract the kids from any thoughts of boredom. Throughout the park are structures embedded with information and etchings of the dinosaur age, and surrounding all the fun stuff is a paved walking track.

and more family activities...: At Call of the Wild, fun and learning go hand in hand, and it's almost a sure thing that kids want to go back again and again. After touring the outdoors, vistors can step outside the museum to ride on a go-kart or play a round of miniature golf. Checking out the wildlife museum is great fun, but to catch a glimpse of the real thing, a stop at the elk-viewing area at the end of Grandview Boulevard (just east across South Otsego Ave. from Wiscousin St) will afford you a close-up view of North Michigan wildlife. If you still have energy after all that, give some through to seeing a movie at Gaylord Cinema on M-32 West, which shows several different features daily.

    The entire family had a great time. The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. The boat launch and dock were very convenient. It was also close enough to Gaylord for when we wanted to go into town

    Very nice property. Convenient parking. Love the fire pit. Swimming area very nice. Through no fault of the owner we only had 1 warm and sunny day. Did some hiking at Jordan River. Visited Short’s Brewery in Bellaire. Went to Petoskey for the day.

    This was I believe our fourth trip to Mitch’s Place for our Summer family vacation and it is always wonderful! The home is on a large lot at the quieter end of the lake, with a large fire pit area, and a lovely wrap around porch with the best views!Mitch is always quick to respond with needs or questions. His home offers everything you could possibly want for a family vacation.We love the use of the dock and the kayaks.Looking to return again next Summer! Thank you Mitch!

    The property is beautiful- the views from the wrap around porch and the fire pit are outstanding.We loved having our senior dog with us. Kitchen was well stocked- adequate dishes and silverware for 7 adults and plenty of pots and pans. Ceiling fans in all the rooms and a washer and dryer were a bonus. Thank you for a wonderful week!

    We enjoyed the time with our doggies chasing sticks, kayaking and swimming, and just sitting by the fire pit with our friends in the evening. Caught a four pound small mouth bass and a 5 pound large mouth bass as well spme nice panfish on the fly rod. This was 6 years in a row renting the home, and we have so many great memories. As usual, we had great neighbors in the owner's house next door. Always hard to say goodbye to the lake!

    Property is always well appointed and clean. We love the quiet, end-of-the-lane setting, as do our puppies. The fishing was really good this week, lots of bass and large pike in the area around the property. This is seven straight years for us and we will be back next year.

    We were so extremely happy with this property. It offered everything and more that we were hoping for, swimming, kayaking, hiking and bonfires! Our labs LOVED it too. We’ll be back! If we could we’d give it 10 out of 5 stars!!
