My family loved the place and location. We used the fire pit, painted rocks on the picnic table and just enjoyed the solitude. The kids liked the games and toys available and the pool table in the game room. The accommodations were great!

Beautiful and relaxing getaway! This home is gorgeous and very well taken care of. Highly recommend! It’s also close enough to everything in Gaylord but far enough away to feel relaxing. Also very close to Otsego lake which is beautiful!

This was a girls trip with 8 ladies. We go to a different place every year and this was the best one so far. The house and property are AMAZING! We spent the day floating on rafts in the pond, playing games and a bonfire at night. The house was accommodating with a well stocked kitchen. We loved it so much we plan to book again next year.

This place was awesome! Went for a golf trip with 6 people. We had plenty of room. Definitely could have had 12 stay here. The house had everything you would need and was very clean. The garage game room was so clutch. The property is secluded and well maintained. Overall we were very pleased with everything. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very spacious inside and out. We used it for a golf trip as there are many excellent courses nearby over Memorial Day weekend. We have gone to the area for decades and already familiar. The garage turned into a bar room with pool/ ping pong table and darts was a game changer.

Beautiful property and overall house. Nice sauna. Good driveway space. Decently close to some nice snowmobile trails, although no direct access.But.The house was dirty. The oven had not been cleaned in a while, nor had the pots and pans. The cabinet where the pots and pans were kept had a very strong odor coming from them, it smelled like something had died. Someone had put away a dirty pan full of grease. The fridge had food left over from previous stays. We also arrived to a dirty dishwasher. Upon opening one of the cabinets in the game room, one of guests was hit in the head by a loose piece of wood trim. Lots of bugs in the house. Somehow most surfaces were sticky.I got zapped when turning on a lamp in the living room, turns out it was broken and had exposed pieces.The house was very cold upon arrival and took a very long time to get to any comfortable temperature, luckily there was fireplace but we were surprised that it was necessary. Upon further inspection later on, after seeing errors on the thermostat, i found the furnace was leaking water from some part. I put a towel down to protect the area - but just wasn’t something i expected to face.The was a NEST security and camera system that I don’t recall seeing in any description of the property. ALSO, THE NEST ALARM HUB IS IN THE MASTER BEDROOM AND BEEPS EVERY TIME A DOOR IS OPEN. Terrible experience in that bedroom honestly.We still had a memorable trip. Otherwise this would be a 1-star review.
gross greased pans. My MIL graciously cleaned one of these.

Fantastic Area

Yearly family vacation in a large home and convenient area. This cabin on 40 acres gave us everything we were looking for and more. Beth, the owner, was awesome! We had a couple of issues during our stay, and she was RIGHT on it! If your looking for a nice cabin in the woods, this is definitely it!

Beth was very friendly and readily available if I had questions the whole time. The kids loved the filtered pond and the location was great for us to take our side by sides on the trails!

2 Days in Heaven

The most beautiful, quiet, and serene property I've ever stayed at. 5 minutes off the highway, but we never heard a thing. Centrally located in the center of the state... we went to Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, and Wolverine and never felt like we were on the road for very long.

Most beautiful house I have ever stayed in!We had 5 adults and 5 children. The home was very spacious and the beds very comfortable. Very peaceful and secluded. The driveway made it very easy to get 2 big truck's and trailers in and out. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. The dog liked it too !
