Grandkids declared this as “the best vacation ever!”
The house was well stocked and maintained, very clean, with a lovely lake view, and lots of privacy. We loved it and would definitely come back.
Our only question was what to do with garbage cans since we left on a Sat. a few days before pickup.

Beautiful home and great location
The description is very accurate. The home was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. We were very happy with the property. The location on the lake is also great. We used the kayaks that were available everyday on nice calm waters with very little wind. The expansive deck and fire pit were also used daily. We spent a lot of time on the deck and beach. Would not hesitate to book this rental again.
Everything was wonderful except the mattresses need to be replaced. The kitchen was hard to navigate in because all of the cupboards/drawers were jammed with stuff. When we booked the property cable TV was included. It was disconnected.

This is a beautiful lake home in a great location.
We had six adults and a two-year-old. The house was perfect. In addition to Otsego Lake being right in front of us, there is a small park a few doors away that is delightful for young children.

Perfect Family Getaway
Perfect house to stay in for our family! Being right on the water kept the kids occupied for hours and made it easy to take the kayaks out. Would definitely stay again if I ever make it back to Michigan. Also in the perfect location between some bigger cities for fun activities

Would Stay Here Again
This place was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was close to golf courses we wanted to play and right on the lake. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay on Otsego Lake.

House is beautiful. Great location and right on the beautiful lake.
My family met in Gaylord for a little reunion and we loved this house. It is beautiful, well equipped and was exactly what we needed. If we are lucky enough to come back, would definitely stay here.

Memories that will last a lifetime!
By far one of the most beautiful cottages I've ever been to. Great location, great ambiance, great home! This place gives you a sad feeling when leaving because you want to stay longer! Definitely hope to return again and again!

About the host
Hosted by George Opitz
Partner and President of a Talent Acquisition and Talent Management consulting firm. Have spent many years vacationing with my family at this custom built cottage. Easily enjoying Golf, Boating, Hiking, Fishing, Snowmobiling and Skiing in Northern MI.
Why they chose this property
We (my wife and I) built this cottage in 1998, we have had many years of enjoying this cottage as our children have grown. We obviously have used it for many wonderful vacations with our children and friends. Easy access from I-75 and only about a 3 hour drive from Detroit (mostly freeway) made this such a great location for planned vacations or quick get away's
What makes this property unique
Beautiful lake views and access, to full sport Otsego Lake and the many other activities associated with the area (Golf, Hiking, Snowmobiling, Skiing). Beautiful pine and stone interior leads to the ultimate in relaxation. Stone gas fireplaces in both the great room and master bedroom enhance the up north "cottage" expereince
