Very accommodating
Hosts were super accommodating. They let us check in early since it was open. The place had tons of items for outdoor fun (fire pit, outdoor games, canoes/kayaks, etc.). Multiple TVs, video game consoles, etc. Hosts live close and came over immediately to address a possible issue and took a fee off for a possible inconvenience.

Great Stay!
We were a group of 4 couples and we had plenty of room and a great stay! The kitchen was well supplied and we had space to all eat together and play games. The owner had some special treats for us upon our arrival. We had a slight issue with one of the appliances and the owner was able to come right away and work with us. I highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again!

Great Getaway
The house itself is an enhanced modular home with all the bells and whistles. Its incredibly clean and cozy. The rooms are all very large. The house is packed with anything and everything you could think of. The outdoor space is wonderful. Tons of entertaining spaces and a nice trail to the lake. The house is on the end of private road, so no need to worry about traffic. The hosts are super responsive and helpful and dont ask too much of you. Would recommend a million times over.

The property very comfortably fit our group of 15. The common spaces were large enough for everyone to gather between the living room and the kitchen/dining area. All of the entertainment systems you can ask for. Thank you Bob and Ali!

Great place for a guys trip
I stayed here with my friends for a guys trip in mid September. Weather was was great and had the opportunity to spend a lot of time outside on the property when we weren’t inside watching football, golfing, or hitting downtown Gaylord. Really appreciated the cornhole boards, the grill and smoker with propane tanks. Bob, the host is very attentive (He lives close by) and the house was EXTREMELY well stocked in the kitchen with every utensil / appliance you’ll beed (Has a blender and 2 slow cookers). The house was very clean and the internet and directv worked well also. Would definitely stay again if I was looking to stay in this area again.

Golf get away
We booked this property for a golf get away for 8 people. The house was as described, clean, lots of amenities, and tons of games and things for us to do while not on the course. They really took care of a lot of little details to make the stay enjoyable. Location worked great, lots of golf courses within 10-20 minute drive. Would stay again, we all had a wonderful time.
