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!! Cook Family Farms is a favorite of ours (https://cookfamilyfarm.com/sleigh-rides/)

Couple of our favorite restaurants:
Benethums (reservations recommended)
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)
Jets Pizza (lots of different options, from Detroit style to cauliflower crust to gluten free)
Crave Pizza

Girls Weekend

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.

Otsego Lake

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.
