Golf trip

Very clean cottage and well equipped with everything we needed to cook several meals. The covered front porch and fire pit were our favorite places outside to spend time . We also liked that the cottage was part of the Lakes of the north property development but also pretty secluded. We would definitely book this property again.

Great for families!

This location is great for families looking for a quiet getaway in the woods. The host was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to messages. They also provided information on things to do in the area. We enjoyed the pool at the clubhouse with the kids for a day. Would definitely recommend!

Very Peaceful and Comfortable

This cottage was comfortable, clean, and enjoyable for our entire family of 11. Great communication with the property owner. She also sponsored us so that we could swim at the clubhouse. The pool was awesome and the kids absolutely loved the water slide! This was the perfect location for us to use as a base from which we were able to travel to Mackinaw. Yard has play stuff for the kids and a big fire pit -though we did not use that due to the dry conditions. We really loved our stay!

Family staycation

Very nice house with the cabin feeling. More than enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded. Only down side was the mosquitos at night. Had a bonfire going , several tiki torches and of course the stinky spray. It all helped but we still got bit up. Would recommend spraying the back yard a couple times a month.

Quiet and relaxing

We would love to see paid access to the clubhouse with rental. Even if you increase the rental by $10-$15/day. That was the concensus of the group. The house was clean and your daily supplies were easy to find. Communication was great with the host. Lots of tv channel access for winding down your day. There were a couple bundles of firewood for the firepit, but i recommend bringing more if you enjoy long evening bonfires. I did not see any firewood stands super close to the rental. This was a wonderful location with access to all the big tourist spots an hour away.

Great family house

This place was great. Very clean and plenty of space for multiple people. We never felt crowded, even with 13 of us. You do have to pay to use the clubhouse, $6pp, which is about a 7 or 8 minute car ride. By the picture of the neighborhood, we thought it would be closer. I would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful, Peaceful

Beautiful home in the middle of the woods. It was so peaceful. So much better and more reasonable than a hotel. We spent 8 days here, 7 adults and 2 dogs. A couple of us used the jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. We were able to cook meals together that were safe with all the food allergies in our family. We didn't get to use the firepit because it rained most of our stay, however it looked nice. Andreia was amazing and promptly answered every question we had. Some of us went to the pool. It is $5 a person or $20 for 6, but well worth it. We hope to rent one of her homes again. Thank you Andreia for sharing your home with our family. We had a truly awesome visit!

About the host

Hosted by ANDREIA SPICER

We are an outdoor family, and love this place. Close to the ATV / snowmobile trails and lakes. The fishing is awesome. The house accommodates our large family reunions. There are lots of activities to keep everyone busy. Everyone loves the new clubhouse pool and hot tub!

Why they chose this property

All around fun for everyone.

What makes this property unique

The connecting trail system is groomed, scenic, and goes in every direction. This snowbelt area provides great riding without having to travel farther north. We are also close to skiing. The summer is just as fun with ATV trails, the lakes, golfing, fishing, and the state land provides excellent hunting and fishing. Tour northern Michigan hot spots from this central location. Petoskey, Traverse City, Mackinaw City, and Mackinaw Island... my favorite.
