Cozy little cabin

Nice cozy cabin for what we needed. Loved the fire pit out back. The bed was comfy. Bathroom/ shower was a little small but worked well. There was no shampoo or conditioner which honestly wasn’t a big issue since there are plenty of stores near. Overall, very clean with comfy bed, kitchen, fire place, and bonus of an outdoor grill. Check in was very easy and owners very responsive. We would stay again if we find ourselves in the area

So great!

The stay was peaceful, clean and perfect! The owners were very friendly and kept the place up to par and very cute on the inside and out! Only complaint was the no air conditioning, but it wasn’t unbearable since it’s in such a shaded area. Would love to come back and stay here again since Gaylord is such a beautiful place!

Great place

Definitely a place to go with your spouse. Small children might not love it but it is close to the lake and a small boat access that is sandy and a great place to take a dip.

Fun fall getaway

Very clean and nice cabin. It was only a 10-15 minute drive from everywhere we wanted to go in Gaylord, and a short walk to the beach. We especially enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, as it was a great place to see the fall colors :)

Fun Fall Break

We had a great stay at this property. The location is very pretty and within walking distance of the park. It was a bit too cold to take advantage of the fire pit but we were warm and cozy in the house 😀

nice little cabin

The cabin was small and not fancy but extremely clean and had everything we needed. We liked that it was walking distance to county campground beach and short drive from Otsego Lake state park. The shower could use some updating but overall just a simple, nice place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay. This cottage is so cute and in such a wonderful location. Quite and peaceful. The property was clean and we had everything we needed. The property owners, even checked on us, it got really cold one night, to make sure we didn’t need and more blankets.

Great cabin!

Loved the pink door cabin in Gaylord! The pictures were spot on! Everything was clean, and very nice! For being a small cabin, it felt spacious! Loved the location- about an hour from Traverse City, and about the same for Mackinaw City / Island. Tina & Dennis wete great at communicating details. Would definately recommend, and we'd certainly stay there again!

Simply Perfect!

From the moment we walked in, the special touches were apparent. The cottage was so clean and welcoming! We loved having a fully equipped kitchen, especially a full-sized refrigerator. The fall colors were beautiful and we can't wait to go back and stay during the other seasons! Thank you to our awesome hosts, Tina and Dennis, for helping to make our stay perfect!

Otsego Lake getaway

We loved the property!! The cottage was just s depicted (super cute!), location was perfect..we went to Otsego Lake State Park every day. The only issue we had was...the owner lives right next door....we kind of felt like we were always being watched. We are both adults & certainly didn't misbehave. It just made us uncomfortable.

Terrible Host

The absolute lack of professionalism by the host was pathetic. I reserved this property for my 2 adult sons and my daughter in law for 4 nights while we were at family reunion in Gaylord. My boys hadn't seen each in while and were excited to spend time together on this trip. The first night they went to the reunion (off property) and arrived back to the cottage later that evening. The 3 of them were playing the board game Trouble and having a great time catching up with each other. Monday morning my daughter in law said she walked outside to the host screaming at the boys! They said the yelling and rant went on for over 5min. They were very apologetic and the host said she didn't want to hear their excuses. The host of the cottage lives a few feet away from the cottage. Some of the things she yelled at the 3 of them for was having a party, (there was only 3 of them), chewing chips to loudly (they didn't even have chips), and peeing outside. My son said he did pee outside, because his brother was in the bathroom (there is only 1 bathroom in the cottage). He agreed it was wrong and he apologized saying he shouldn't have done it, to which she started swinging her finger and screaming at them even more. The remaining 3 nights they were only there to sleep. There was a much better way to handle this situation instead of belittling them! They said while the cottage was nice and all, the interaction with the host ruined the remainder of the stay.
