This was the perfect vacation rental as it’s literally 10 minutes from downtown Gaylord and right across from the lake! The backyard was great for our two dogs to run around and explore.

Loved it

Beautiful house, clean and the right size for 4 people and two dogs! Definitely worth staying at. Good location, not too out of the way of town but peaceful and in a neighborhood. Kitchen was stocked with ingredients as well as Keurig coffee machine with an assortment of coffee pods. Although, the queen sized bedroom did not have a screen. This was minor overall, but adding one would improve the experience.

Base camp stay while hanging with camping friends at StTe Park.

This home met our needs perfectly. We were 10 minutes from Otsego State Park to run back and forth as needed. The bed was comfortable, the hosts provided plenty of tp, paper towels, shampoos, soap, toothbrushes, etc.. the Keurig was stocked and there is a drip coffee maker for those of us that grind our own beans. I would say that you need to remember your passwords if you want to stream! We will stay there again if our friends camp in the area again.

Nice. Nothing special.

We were on a 10 day trip. Book list mid trip for four nights so we could do laundry but the dryer was not working. We had to impose on family to do enough to get us back home. It was nice. It reminded me of places we rented for parties as a student. It was good for the price. Would have like to have known about the laundry.

Winter getaway

My husband and I and his brother and spouse needed a place to say while we visited our vacant land here in Gaylord. It was very close and convenient and the home was very cozy. We got to experience the first snowfall while there and it made for a beautiful morning view in the back. The dryer wasn’t working and the water heater made some questionable noises but truly everything we needed was there. Our host was very responsive and we appreciate that. Would stay here again if we stay as a small group.

Home away from home!

We had a lovely stay. Hope to revisit again next year. We could not figure out how to work shower. When we called owner had immediate answer! Thank you for helping us, we still laugh about how we could not figure out how to use it! So simple!

Absolutely Darling

This lovely home is larger than it looks and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. Let's start with the beds - there are 3 bedrooms and we were in the queen room. Comfortable mattress with wonderful soft sheets. Room 2 agreed. Nice dining area and well equipped kitchen. Keurig and regular coffee pots. Plenty of cookware and dishes (but we ate out). We did have a little trouble with communication but that was us as much as our very pleasant host, who, once we were in contact went out of her way to solve a problem which we created by not understanding how to use the keypad. There was a nice back yard with a fire pit which we intended to enjoy but the weather had other ideas. Television was a little confusing because you had to "stream" (I think) and that's out of my old wheelhouse but we didn't plan to watch it anyway and enjoyed our conversation and card game. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It felt like a home away from home. It had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, the home was very clean! The back yard was perfect for letting our little one explore. Andrea was very accommodating and was quick to getting back to me on the VRBO app. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in the area!
