Stay by lake

Beds and pillows could be more comfortable, maybe a light by front door that doesn't attract the bugs, other than that the place was just what we needed, wanted and it was as described.

Overall decent stay

Property was clean and amenities were as listed. As noted in other reviews, access to the lake is across the old highway and railroad tracks. Water was not great while we were there but we were able to kayak. Not a great swimming location for a family but we used this as a home base for other travels. There is a good State Park on one end of the lake and a County Park on the other. Gaylord was a nice little town with some good restaurants and a really great ice cream spot (Alpine Chocolate Haus). It did get a little warm but the provided fans definitely helped. Also, while not listed as provided - be aware that there are no laundry facilities on property. Overall a good stay and Tad was very responsive to our questions!

Great spot!

We stayed in the 3 bedroom cottage and one of the 2 bedroom cabins which was perfect for our group. Very clean, easy instructions and great location for the family reunion we were attending. Way better than staying at a hotel and more affordable. Bonus was the view of the lake across the street.

Why they chose this property

The cottage was built around 1948 and has the original stone masonry fireplace as its center piece. The interiors are very cute & cozy with original tongue & groove knotty pine walls, new windows & entry door and awesome view of the lake. The exteriors include a covered entry Porch, parking right outside the door, new insulated roof, fresh cedar log & split shake siding along with cedar board & batten & cedar trim. We're working hard to make this property a treasure for our Guests. Located in the heart of northern lower Michigan there's a bounty of fun, dining & entertainment, enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Our private 110' deck/dock is anchored at the shoreline by a 24'x16' deck with stairs up to the mainland path. It's secluded and quiet at our lake deck, almost lagoon-like. There's good swimming and fishing right from the dock. The deck/dock is equipped with built-in benches, deck furniture, fire-pit, 3-kayaks with paddles, life vests, kid's toys, pillows and a private beach at the deck. We also have bicycles available for rent.

During the winter the Iron Belle trail is part of the snowmobile trail system, so access is direct from the cottage. We also offer our Guests ice fishing with an insulated / heated shanty, guide service for fishing including spearing is available. All our Guests are welcome to use our amenities so please be courteous with one another.
