Great Northern getaway

The place was perfect. Great location for day trips to Mackinaw Island & Traverse City. It had everything we needed. Loved the fall decor touches and s’mores kit! The sunrises with coffee were stunning. The dock, kayaks, and fire pit made for an awesome chillax day!

Summer Lake Fun!

This was our 2nd stay at this property, 2 weeks this time with family on the lake. Easy rentals of pontoon boat, jet ski, etc and kayaks available at the property. Good BBQ grill on the deck, possibly the best stocked property we’ve stayed at - extra propane tank, almost every appliance you could ask for, plenty of dishes & kitchen gadgets and super clean. We had a small problem with a kitchen sink leak and the owners jumped on it immediately. This is a no-worry property- highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Hoefflin

Host profile image
My husband Glenn and I love vacationing in the Otsego Lake area and decided to purchase this lakefront home to enjoy with our family and yours for years to come.

Why they chose this property

The Gaylord area has so much to offer for every season - boating, jet skiing, ATV, golfing and fishing in the summer; hunting, color tours, ATV, golfing and wine tasting in the fall; snowmobiling, skiing and ice fishing in the winter. It is the perfect place to bring family and friends to create lasting memories without having to drive too far.

What makes this property unique

Our home has 50 feet of sandy beach, 50 foot dock and a lake side gazebo for watching the loons on the water or eagles soar above the lake. We offer a full house automatic back up generator so you won't be left in the dark should the power ever go out!
