NorthShore - on Guthrie Lake

On nearly 3 acres, sharing an 11 acre tract with only one other (family member). Wonderful privacy, really wonderful lake for swimming or fishing; beach along the shore for swimming (depending on high-water level); 30-foot dock for boating (public boat ramp on the south end of the lake, a mile down the trail). Fire-pit by the shore (wood provided). Hiker-friendly woods. Cute squirrels and chipmunks; deer in the yard are not unusual. House has a great kitchen, open floor plan, much new carpet, new vinyl floors in kitchen, bath, utility, central heat and air conditioning; unlimited high speed wifi internet, Roku for two TVs, or watch DVDs (provided, some), or bring your own game console. Two full baths, 3 bedrooms, big screened porch for additional space, gas barbecue grill (gas provided). Handicap accessible. 14 foot aluminum boat with 6 hp motor (fuel provided); 12' canoe, hard SUP board, inflated two-person kayak.

From our cleaning and sanitation crew:
" We at IBKLEAN want to help our guests feel even more comfortable this summer. Time at the lake is for relaxing, not worrying.

We have been cleaning here for many years. This year we are doing things differently. The most important things are:
1) All staff will complete the Health Department required CDC paperwork before every clean. No one will work if they are not well.
2) Our staff will wear clean/new gloves, masks, and foot covers for every cleaning job.
We will use new/ clean ( in hottest water possible) cleaning tools for every cleaning job.
3) We will use the recommended 2 step cleaning, then disinfecting process, allowing enough time for the disinfectant to work.
4) All laundry will be washed in the hottest water possible. Baskets will be disinfected regularly.
5) We will maintain a check list of this process

We hope our commitment to everyone’s health and safety helps you feel at home. Thank you and have a wonderful time. "
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Nice getaway

My family and I enjoyed ourselves at the cottage. The house was spacious for us. We enjoyed the screned in front porch. The lake is very clear! The kids enjoyed fishing off of the dock. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed going around the lake on them. The kids really enjoyed the woodsy feel of the cottage. (When we rented others the cottages are all right next door to one another) this gave us room for yard games.

The middle of nowhere

The home was very large, actually larger than we needed for three people. There were three boats available, one motorized, one only a one person boat, and one big enough to fit two large people and one small person. The water was calm and easy to navigate.... and the dock was easy to locate from the other side of the lake. During weekdays, there is apparently an air show from the National Guard. The sand wasn't great to bike ride on, but the roads had very few cars, and bike riding on them was pleasant. The couch and the beds that we tried out were all comfortable, and there was plenty of stuff on TV that was appropriate for a sensitive viewer. There was so much cooking and baking equipment that I was tempted to bake a pie. The dishwasher was weird, it didn't really wash or dry dishes unless they were pre-cleaned. ... and it didn't really dry the dishes. The set-up of the kitchen was weird. Baking stuff was together, cooking stuff was sort of scattered everywhere, glasses and cups weren't stored near each other, or near the plates. It took a while to figure out the organization of the kitchen. The neighbors were having a very quiet party the day we checked in. They had three quiet, friendly dogs, only one of which was a wanderer... my dog enjoyed visiting with them. We tasted the water, then went to Meijers to buy distilled water to make our coffee with. I'd recommend this as a great place for a large family to stay.

Nice spot for a getaway

The house was nicely appointed. Everything we needed was there. I especially appreciated the gas grill and the small motorboat. My dad and son had a great time fishing. It was a quiet spot, although with some occasional loud booms from nearby Camp Grayling. I knew to expect that from the reviews. The only thing I wish I had known in advance is that there’s not a yard to sit in and watch my kids swim. The shore line is lined with trees which means you can’t get any sun or watch the kids in the water unless you’re on the dock. This may not matter to many people, however. Just personal preference. It was nice to be close to Gaylord too, as we went into town for a movie one day and checked out the Call of the Wild museum another day.
