About this property

Happy Trails Haus - Cozy Lake View Cabin

Step into natures playground in Gaylord Michigan. This three bedroom one bath cabin is located steps to beautiful Otsego lake with access across the street where you can swim, fish or try out kayaking. (Kayaks and bikes provided at no extra cost!) With a cozy up north cabin feel you also get the amenities of home with Wi-Fi for streaming, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and downtown Gaylord just a 9 minute drive away! If staying in for a cozy night is your thing, put on your favorite record and have a dance party or cook a nice family meal! A warm cup of your favorite coffee might be on your vacay list, and the best spot for that is cozied up by our stone fireplace or front all-seasons room with surrounding windows to view the lake. The cabin mimics the towns cozy alpine aesthetic.


If golf is your niche, The Ridge Golf Course is right up the road along with so many more within 15-20 minutes of the cabin such as Tree Tops, Michaywe Pines, Lakes Golf Course or Natural Golf Course. Otsego Lake State Park is a 5 minute drive south where there is a large beach, great fishing pier and boat launch! There's also the Sturgeon river about 20 minutes north where you can tube lazily down in the summer or raft in the summer AND winter! The Iron Belle Trail which starts in Belle Isle, Detroit and ends in Ironwood in the UP is the longest designated state trail in the nation and is steps from the house. Snowmobile trail #7 rides along the Iron Belle as well! Watch the snowmobilers fly by as you sit cozy in the sunroom. For any ORV riders, North Branch ORV trail head is 8 minutes east of the property. There are also great restaurants in town and the surrounding areas to try!





With the Happy Trails Haus being centrally located, you can take a day trip to many of the wonderful places Michigan has to offer!

About the host

Hosted by Cara

Host profile image
I'm a born and raised Michigander and I live in south east MI. I always loved going up north MI as a kid with my family and I love anything outdoors. Ambiance and hosting people has always been a passion of mine. When I was looking for a place in northern MI It had to be just right, and once we found it I put my own touches inside to make it feel cozy and unique. I designed the space to be somewhere I wanted to vacation to - to get away and make everlasting memories.

Gaylord is a year round outdoor recreational town which we love! We are big hikers and brewery enthusiasts, and there are so many beautiful trails and great breweries! There's snowmobiling, skiing, snowtubing, ice fishing, biking, hiking, fishing, TONS of golf. We are big fans of fall colors and snow as well, and Gaylord has plenty of both! I'm a big fan of themes and Gaylord is an Alpine Village which makes it very quaint. Gaylord is also a great base city for exploring anything and everything northern MI. You can day trip to almost any of the northern MI destinations under 1 hour such as Petoskey, Mackinac City, Charlevoix, Torch Lake, Higgins Lake, Cheboygan, and Boyne City.
