The winter is also fun with with miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling that can take you all the way up to Mackinaw City (and all the little towns in between)!!! Otsego Resort and Treetops both offer cross country and downhill skiing and Boyne Mountain is only a 33 minute drive from the cottage. Not to mention the great sleigh rides!!

Porterhaus
Alpine Tavern
The Pine Squirrel
The Bearded Dogg (connected the Spud Warehouse, a go-to shopping spot for some interesting and unique knick-knacks)

    This house was a perfect place for a family weekend… Otsego Lake is gorgeous. We were able to see beautiful sunsets every night from the property.Plenty of room in the kitchen to cook for the family… family room was big enough for everybody to have a place to sit when we were not out playing in the water.My grandkids (3 and 5) were able to walk safely into the water… Very sandy bottom. They were able to walk out quite a long distance. We had a floating lily pad, and tied it to the dock… The kids played on that for hours.House was very clean and had a great breeze coming off of the lake… The upstairs master suite is gorgeous. All of the rooms were great.

    We had a great time at this rental. The home is spacious and the deck’s proximity to the house and water was great for my elderly mother with mobility issues. Thanks for a great stay!

    We stayed here for our annual girls weekend. Kurt is amazing to work with. His friendly grounds/maintenance staff even stopped in to check on us..making sure we didnt need anything! The house is very easy to find, clean, stocked, and close to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Plenty of parking too! We would definitely stay here again.

    Had a great weekend on the lake. House was spacious and well equipped. Only negative was that the dock was not in. Our grandsons brought all their fishing gear and were disappointed that they couldn’t fish off the dock.
