The Bluegill Lake House- A Peaceful and Relaxing Getaway

Kick back and enjoy the peace and tranquility of no wake Bluegill Lake. This cozy little 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage sits just 10 steps off the lake and offers amazing year round views. The lake is perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing (bluegill of course and bass) and is within ten minutes of all sports Otsego Lake and Big Bradford Lake if you want to ski, tube, or pontoon on a bigger lake. The Otsego Lake State Park beach is one of the best inland lake beaches in Northern Michigan and is right down the road as well as biking and hiking trails. Gaylord is 20 minutes away for all your shopping, golfing and dining needs. In the winter time, the snowmobile trails are within a half of a mile and skiing at Treetops and Boyne Mountain is fantastic. A good weather day trip to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes or to the UP falls are also within reach as well as a bad weather day trip to Traverse City or Petoskey for casinos and shopping! Either way if you’re looking to kickback and relax and do nothing or create an adventure filled Northern Michigan experience- the Bluegill Lake House will suit you just fine!

Great Lake Vacation
A great little place on a nice small lake. Selling point and most fun of the weekend was using kayaks and rowboat. Only 20 minutes to Gaylord. Nearby Otsego Lake State Park for beach fun. Super appreciate the communication from owners- as well as providing extra requests!! Would consider this place again!

Fun lake time
Had a great stay, caught a 27 inch pike from shore. Wished we had brought a small trolling motor but lake is just the right size for rowing.

Fantastic Labor Day Weekend
The property was clean and beautiful. We loved the lake and enjoyed using the kayaks and rowboat. The location was treed and had tons of privacy, but it’s proximity to the surrounding cities and other amenities was great. We truly enjoyed our getaway there.
