We were in Gaylord to see colors and visit the Pigeon River State Forest to see the elk. The chalet was the perfect size for us and great location for what we were doing. Our dog loved it too! Nice fire pit and dog tie out in the back!

This rental provided us with a great location for our trip. Beds were comfortable, roof didn't leak and the refrigerator worked just fine. The shower was disappointing but overall we were happy with the amenities for a very reasonable price.

We really enjoyed our stay. This place has everything you need, & nothing you don’t. Plain & simple. I was pleasantly surprised with the brand new blow dryer, WITH a diffuser (and other nozzle attachments)! They also supply dog bowls for those like us traveling with pets. The house was clean & cozy. It’s close to town & other activities to do in Gaylord. We would stay here again.

This was the third time we stayed at this cozy, pet friendly cabin. It offers all the comforts of home and is in close proximity to many quaint lake towns. Once we found this cabin we never wanted to stay anywhere else.

Great little cabin

Property and house were clean and had pretty much anything we needed. Great location with a little creek just a couple minute walk down the road going south. Will definitely check if it's available the next time I visit!
