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 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.

Great Vacation Spot!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location of the cottage is great! It is private and secluded but close enough to the town of Gaylord. The cottage is clean and cozy. The view of the lake is beautiful and is great for fishing and loon watching. We absolutely loved this place and hope to be back again.

Great time, very relaxing

Our annual sisters trip was a success! Everything we needed to relax and rest was here and to have access to the lake right from our yard was the best. Very clean lake and stores were close enough if we needed something. Would definitely go back.
