Looking to get away this fall? Come enjoy the Lake House!

Fantastic all-seasons vacation spot in “up north” Michigan! This peaceful lakefront cottage sleeps 12 for a perfect getaway for your a girls’ weekend, golf outings, romantic getaways, or your whole family.

3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, open living room with fireplace and smart TV, dining table seats 6, basement with ping pong, foosball, and laundry. Bedroom 1 on the main floor has a queen bed. Bedroom 2 upstairs has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 upstairs features 3 double beds. Also a queen bed in the basement.

Summer: Enjoy the outdoors from all 3 levels: covered porch and 2 balconies, walkout from basement. Eat lunch at the picnic table, play at the sandy beach, and toast s’mores at the fire pit on the double lot with 200 feet of waterfront. Explore no-wake Fawn Lake by kayak or paddle board. (There are 2 of each.) Find life jackets, fishing poles, beach toys, cornhole and bocci in the shed along with both gas and charcoal grills.

Bringing your pontoon or speedboat? All-sports Heart Lake has a public access around the bend and 8-mile long Otsego Lake is 2 miles up the road. Enjoy Otsego State Park or walk 1 mile to a playground, basketball courts, and nature trail.

Fall and Spring: You never know what weather Michigan might bring during these seasons. You may enjoy some extra lake time in the fall or get in one last downhill ski trip in the spring. You can always count on golfing during these scenic seasons. The Ridge, The Loon, The Lakes, Otsego Club, Gaylord Country Club & Treetops are just a few of the many public courses nearby.

Winter: Access Trail 7 at the end of the road and head all the way to Mackinac or enjoy miles and miles of local groomed and marked snowmobile trails. Room for your trailer of sleds on property or rent locally. Skiing options galore: Otsego and Treetops (15 minutes), Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek and Boyne Mountain (30 minutes). Boyne Mountain also offers an indoor water park.

We accept both short and long term rental stays. We can offer special rates for month or longer stays. Whatever the season or length of stay, we look forward to having you.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Relaxing home away from home

My family of 7 very much enjoyed utilizing this property as a home away from home. :-) The property amenities were clean, well thought out and homey. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed ping pong, foosball, paddle boarding and kayaking. This was such a great experience for all of them! This busy mom appreciated all of the options for porch sitting with a good book and the ability to still ensure the kiddos were safe and happy. :-) The nearby town of Waters also captivated us as a glimpse into small town northern Michigan life. We made a couple of trips for ice cream, dinner and the Labor Day festivities. The property host was a great communicator that even offered us early check in and late check out based on his rentals calendar. A super thoughtful guy all around! Overall, we are so glad we chose this property for some R & R. :-)

Perfect vacation

This has been a top 3 vacation for my family. Everything from communication with Jason to the check in to the check out was flawless, easy and enjoyable. The house is extremely clean and is stocked with everything that you will need for your stay such as plenty of linen and more then enough dishes and cookware. Jason also provides plenty of toys for the kids to enjoy in the water as well as the kayaks and paddle boards which were a blast. The lake didn't disappoint either as it was a perfect temperature the entire time. The fish were biting and the gentle wind kept any bugs away. Thank you so much Jason for letting us stay at your lake house and we can't wait to visit again next year.

Musselman/dyer family.

We had 4 adults, 7 kids stay and it was a amazing amount of room. Kids were well entertained between the option to fish, swim or play outside. Lake is quiet, and beautiful loons swam by often. My kids had nothing but amazing things to say about where we stayed. We would highly consider staying here again, if we take another trip to that area.

Good central location

Aside from dirty towels hanging in the bathroom, the house was clean. The lake itself was peaceful, but there's 24/7 road noise from all the vehicles traveling on I75. With that beind said, It was a great central location for day trips we had planned. What we disliked the most was all the cameras. There's a doorbell type camera at the front door, theres a camera facing down on the front porch, and a camera facing the beach area. Basically every place you would enjoy being when you're outside, you're being watched on camera. We did enjoy the kayaks and SUPs and my son caught some nice bass. If you can sleep through road noise from the interstate and dont mind being watched when you're outside, it's a good choice

Great Lake Cottage

We really enjoyed this small lake cottage. Very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the lovely view and paddle boarding/kayaking on Fawn Lake. We had no complaints. It was clean and as promised. We didn't swim (only kayaked) so I can't speak to the bottom of the lake but the water was very clear and warm enough. The kitchen, while small and basic, was suitable for making simple meals. The beds were comfy. My teens enjoyed the ping pong table. The host was very responsive. This is definitely a great family place to hang out!

Very peaceful lake with good fishing

The house was clean and fit our family of 8 very nicely. We were concerned about the one bathroom but it somehow worked out. A row boat would have been nice. The paddle boat was broken but my son in law was able to fix it enough to use. When I wrote the host about it, he was quick to reply. We got a nice batch of gills out of the lake. I would bring my family again

Great Up North getaway

This lake house was great. So many amenities to keep everybody busy and happy for the whole stay. The grandkids (5 and 6) had a blast and the grownups had plenty to do and not be on top of each other. The lake was quiet and mostly unused by others. Fishing was so/so but not bad. There is a spider that lives on the end of the dock - we named him George. He owns the dock past 9pm and is not afraid to let you know this. Our beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and having laundry on site was amazing. Location was super close to both Grayling and Gaylord. Easy access to I-75.

Wonderful trip for our family

The lake house was very nice and clean. I was a little nervous with only having 1 bathroom for 10 people but it worked out better than I had expected. Loved having the kayaks & paddle boards to go out on the lake. The kids loved swimming & fishing the most. Good location to go to Mackinaw Island. It was only an hour drive to the ferry. Would definitely stay here again!
