Porcupine Lodge · Stunning Cabin - Arcade & Pickleball - sleeps 13

Summary:
Welcome to Porcupine Lodge, relax with the family or enjoy some time away with your friends!

Located 1 mile into Michaywé golf community and 12 minutes from Downtown Gaylord, our cottage provides ample privacy with empty lots on both sides, but easy access to 17 golf courses, 2 ski resorts, miles of snow mobile trails, along with dozens of bars and restaurants.

Enjoy the multiple entertaining areas, brand new kitchen, natural gas grill and the Michaywé indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub and sauna.

The Space:
The cabin has been updated to include a brand new kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), and premium cabinets. the stove in the kitchen and the grill directly off of the lower level are both natural gas, providing consistent, hassle free, and top of the line cooking abilities.

The lower level of the home was completely overhauled, enjoy the large space, the arcade system, and mini refrigerator so you never have to leave! The lower level doubles as a living/entertaining space, along as the fourth bedroom with the rustic farmhouse bed set.

The three bedrooms, first on the main floor, the other two on top floor of the home, are all spacious. The king bed fits perfectly in the bedroom on the first floor, allowing privacy and space, with a bathroom right across the hall. Both bedrooms on the second floor are HUGE, they easily fit a queen bed and a bunk bed without you having to feel claustrophobic.

The yard is surrounded completely by mature trees, during the spring and summer you get the feeling of complete isolation since there are no houses on the lots adjacent to the property. The yard also includes a large deck that wraps around 2 sides of the property, a private balcony on the top floor, and a fire pit for relaxing after a long day at the golf course.

Need to entertain the kids? or feel like taking a day off of golf? You can enjoy the yard games that are in the garage including the viral axe throwing game from Costco and of course corn hole. Added in 2025 we now have a pickleball net, paddles and balls.

A mere 4 minutes from the house you will find the Michaywe Club House that includes the "Inn the Woods" restaurant that is one our family visits often (the kids love the pizza, we love the burgers and the reuben), an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a Sauna. All of the amenities at the club house are available to guests using the key card provided in the house. Note: from Memorial day to Labor day only the outdoor pool and sauna are available (no hot tub), from Labor Day to Memorial Day only the indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna are available.

Guests are allowed to golf at the Michaywé Pines Golf Course, or at any of the other 16 golf courses in Gaylord.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full access to the property, the only exceptions are the attic area from the top floor (for safety reasons), and the owners closet in the lower level that is locked.

The Neighborhood:
Porcupine Lodge is located in the Michaywé private golf community, which includes access to the Indoor Pool, Outdoor Pool (Seasonal), Hot Tub, Sauna, Tennis Courts, Shuffle Board, Basketball/Volleyball court, along with miles of hiking and cross country skiing paths.

Getting Around:
All motor vehicles including snowmobiles are allowed to drive on Michaywé roads. The home consists of a single car garage that guests can use, along with a driveway that can accommodate 4 vehicles.

Other Things to Note:
The cabin is ready for snow mobilers, snowboarders, skiers, golfers or even just a group of family and friends to get away.

Our family always enjoys our time at the house, and we hope that you will also!

Interaction with Guests:
We are available for any issues or concerns through the app, the guest will be provided with a custom digital access code to the property
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Perfect up north getaway

This place was perfect for our group of 2 families to get together and celebrate NYE. Great location- We were a short 10 minute drive to downtown Gaylord and Otsego ski resort. We also loved the neighborhood and access to the indoor pool. Thank you for having us!

Awesome getaway

This cabin was perfect for what we needed. It had lots of beds and was very clean! When I needed to contact the host she was very quick to respond. We loved the fire pit and outdoor area to play games. If I am ever in this area again I will make sure I book this cabin!

Family Vacation Spot

The house was nice with a lot of space for our growing family. The kitchen is small for a group our size, but we made it work. There was a surprising amount of storage space for all of the food we brought and lots of seating in the dining room. There are lots of activities nearby for families, even in the rain.

Wonderful Home Away From Home

We loved the house, all of the sleeping options and games! Everything was very clean and tidy. We had everything we needed! We enjoyed going swimming at the pool, playing with the arcade game and using the axe throwing game. We will definitely keep this property in mind when renting next summer!

Nice place to stay

We like the over all privacy of the property. The 3 floors worked well for the 8 of us. Close to the golf courses we wanted to play. All of the towels were located in the upstairs linen closet, not in the seperate bathrooms. The main floor bathroom door doesnt stay shut. The deck seating area is nice and the separte bedroom room(s) ac units are great. Would rent again, enjoyed our stay.

Nice little cabin getaway with amenities

The house was nice and located pretty close to town. Set back a little and makes you feel isolated with the woods surrounding it even though its in a cute little neighborhood. My only gripe was that the listing was wrong for bedrooms and bathrooms. There were 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and we got lucky that it still worked out for our group. Otherwise, the internet worked great for our work meeting and there were plenty of teambuilding activities available!

Stay

The neighborhood and the house were very nice. However some areas of the home were much cleaner than others. The space was very nice and the rooms were fairly decent sized. The adults all had a fun time using the games on the property, and the bonfire area was very nice as well. The weather for our weekend was not supposed to be great so we planned on using the hot tub and pool indoors. However upon arrival we found out the indoor pool and hot tub were closed due to scheduled maintenance, which would have been nice to know ahead of time.
