Lakefront Cottage Getaway

Cozy 4 bedroom, 3 full bathrooms, and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Absolutely gorgeous view of the lake from the living room windows and the Master suite upstairs. Beautiful deck connects to a long dock to the lake. Public boat launch just down the beach. This Cottage has been in our family for over 50 years. You will build lasting fun memories here.

There are kayaks and bikes available for your use in the garage. Action Outdoor Rentals at actionoutdoorrentals.com or 989-732-2555 rents boats and jetskis

The winter is also fun with with miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling that can take you all the way up to Mackinaw City (and all the little towns in between)!!! Otsego Resort and Treetops both offer cross country and downhill skiing and Boyne Mountain is only a 33 minute drive from the cottage. Not to mention the great sleigh rides!! Cook Family Farms is a favorite of ours (https://cookfamilyfarm.com/sleigh-rides/)

Couple of our favorite restaurants:
Benethums (reservations recommended)
Porterhaus
Alpine Tavern
The Pine Squirrel
The Bearded Dogg (connected the Spud Warehouse, a go-to shopping spot for some interesting and unique knick-knacks)
Jets Pizza (lots of different options, from Detroit style to cauliflower crust to gluten free)
Crave Pizza

Girls Weekend

We stayed here for our annual girls weekend. Kurt is amazing to work with. His friendly grounds/maintenance staff even stopped in to check on us..making sure we didnt need anything! The house is very easy to find, clean, stocked, and close to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Plenty of parking too! We would definitely stay here again.

Otsego Lake

Had a great weekend on the lake. House was spacious and well equipped. Only negative was that the dock was not in. Our grandsons brought all their fishing gear and were disappointed that they couldn’t fish off the dock.

Beautiful home near the lake

Host was very helpful. Home was right on the lake, we rented out a pontoon that allowed us to enjoy the weather and views of the lake. I recommend anyone looking for a home that has a beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful Lake Getaway

Kurt was a fantastic host, and helped answer any questions we had almost immediately! The place has nice sized bedrooms and a beautiful back deck and pier on the lake. We rented a fishing boat from a place across the street, which I would also highly recommend.

Beautiful Location

We had a great time. Found the cottage to be exactly as we thought. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample water toys in the garage. Communications with the property manager was exceptional as he gave us some reco's for shopping and eating in nearby Gaylord. Wasn't a fan of the 6 children next door visiting the Grand parents but hey, that is the risk you run when you rent a cottage in the summer. Truth be told the children were not that big of distraction. We were one of the first visitors as a result we booked with no review...but it was perfect. Really loved the 2 person Kayak. Wouldn't hesitate to rent the cottage again.

A home away from home

My family and I frequently venture up north during the summer months around the surrounding area. This is the first place we found we'd rather stay at the rental rather than trying to find things to do locally. Perfect family spot! We look forward to staying here again.
