When we arrived the electricity was off due to a storm. Tom called the utility company, the owner, and others to try to get generators and agreed to pay for lodgings elsewhere.Fortunately, power got restored and we were able to stay. Plenty of cookware, dishes, even spices in kitchen. House was clean with plenty extra blankets.

This house was perfect for our family! We had two children under 2 with us and there was a really nice space for them to roam around and play with their toys. The view looking out from the house was absolutely gorgeous. Communication with the owner and manager was also really great. They helped make sure we had a great stay. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to take advantage of the water activities, but I wish we could have. We did enjoy just sitting outside and looking at the beautiful lake. We could see the bottom of the lake by the house! We spent a little time in the downtown Gaylord area which was super cute and had great food options! If it was closer to us or we have another occasion in the area, we will definitely return.

Full Family Vacation

We had a family group of 7 adults and 7 kids. What a great facility. We had plenty of room, big table for dinner plus picnic tables, fun balcony, plus two extra rooms if you needed quite time. It was super hot and the air conditioning was great. Lake was good for all ages.

Our summer happy place

This is our 2nd stay at this property. Great for our annual family vacation. Grandma and Grandpa were very comfortable with the first floor suite and short and level walk to the lake. The location works excellent for our Shel Haven canoe day and our golf day. Having use of the space across the street for parking and play is a nice bonus.
