Our second visit to this perfect vacation spot. Super clean and well appointed. The beach area is definitely the star of the show. Sandy beach area and crystal clear water just steps from the cottage. We swam and built sand castles every day. Saw a good variety of wildlife too…fish, loons, chipmunks and squirrels, tiny toads and a flyover by a beautiful bald eagle. Easy trip to town to stock up on groceries for our week.

Wonderful!

The property is super cute. Love the walkway to the house with all the flowers and decorations. The lake is beautiful. Perfect views from the house and deck. Very nice firepit and seating. The house was clean and cozy. Much bigger than we expected. Pictures dont do this place justice. We had 8 people and never felt crowded. Plenty of seating in the living room. Cozy pillows and blankets available with a nice big tv. It came in handy for the one rainy day we had. Everything was perfect! We plan on staying again. Thank you Gail!

Awesome time on Heart Lake

We had a wonderful family vacation on Heart Lake. It’s easy to get to, close to Gaylord and yet we were able to fully disconnect from distractions and just be present together. We fished, we swam, we hung out on the beach, we read books, we explored. It was perfect.The boat access was great and the lake was small enough that even on busy days it was still pretty quiet. The kids loved the beach. They also caught a ton of fish. The adults loved that the house was so close to the water. The house itself is quite nice. Plenty of room. Beautiful views. And the hosts were generous in providing most of what we needed. There was also plenty of room for two cars and a boat trailer. The only minor gripe was the owner’s pontoon was tied up to the dock and it kind of blocked our view of the kids jumping off the dock. Super minor first world problem. Everything else was perfect. We usually pick a new house each summer but we are already talking about returning. Loved it.

Perfect Getaway on a quiet lake

Seven of us had an amazing time. The beachfront and lake were perfect. The kayaks and paddleboards a plus! A big dining room table was great for playing games, the kitchen was spacious.

Lots of amenities & well stocked

A very clean and well stocked house on a nice lake! We had a wonderful stay- there's lots of room in the house, a spacious yard front & back, sandy beach, paddle boards, kayaks & a rowboat. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the house is in a great location- Gaylord is close by with grocery stores and restaurants and there's lots of golf courses close by. We really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic family retreat

Great little lake that have the fish literally jumping at night. Great sandy beach. Great little bike ride around the lake or upt the street to the snowmobiling trails for some icecream. Great location for day trips. Clean and comfortable for our family of 7.
