About this property

Ski & Golf Getaway: Cozy Log-Style Condo

Welcome to our cherished vacation retreat in Gaylord, MI – a sanctuary where Northern Michigan's natural beauty seamlessly blends with comfort and elegance. Nestled amid lush forests and awe-inspiring landscapes, our warm and inviting haven is the perfect escape for families and groups.

What We Love About Our Property:
For our family, this property is more than just a vacation retreat; it's a place filled with love, joy, and memories. We relish the bonding moments around the handbuilt custom log bar, where laughter echoes during family games of foosball and shuffleboard. The large smart TVs have hosted many movie nights, creating shared experiences that we hold dear. Our appreciation for craftsmanship is reflected in the intricate custom woodwork that adds a unique touch to our home, showcasing the passion and creativity that have shaped our family haven.

What You Will Love About Our Area:
Northern Michigan is an adventurer's paradise with year-round activities. Whether it's golfing, hiking, and biking in the summer or thrilling skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, our area has something for everyone. Children can explore the nearby enchanting woods, while adults unwind in our private hot tub, immersed in stunning scenery.

Our Favorite Thing Within Walking Distance:
A leisurely walk will lead you to the fantastic amenities of Otsego Resort, including a refreshing swimming pool, perfect for a relaxing dip or family fun. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at two world-class courses, while winter sports lovers glide down beautifully groomed slopes or cross-country through the scenic headwaters of the Sturgeon River Valley. Dining at the resort is a culinary journey, with gourmet restaurants satisfying all palates. The historic main lodge, welcoming guests since 1939, boasts charming log architecture that leaves a lasting impression. For entertainment, the Logmark bar offers billiards, darts, karaoke, live music, and a commanding view of the resort. Whether you aim to hit the links or the slopes, savor fine dining, take a refreshing swim, or dance the night away, Otsego Resort captivates every guest.

What Makes Our Property Stand Out:
What sets our condo apart from others in the area is a deliberate focus on offering unique experiences. While many properties provide comfort, ours excels in creating an environment that entertains and brings everyone together. The game room, not commonly found in vacation rentals in the area, adds a layer of excitement and fun, making it a favorite among guests of all ages. Spacious bedrooms and ample bathrooms deliver a sense of luxury that goes beyond the ordinary, providing convenience and relaxation. Our attention to detail and personalized touches offer guests more than a place to stay; they provide a special experience that stands out among Gaylord vacation homes.

Your unforgettable Northern Michigan adventure begins at our charming retreat. We eagerly anticipate hosting you and helping craft memories that will last a lifetime. Come and discover why our property is genuinely something special!

Great condo on golf course

Large rooms on golf course. Unfortunately air conditioning wasn’t working and could not be resolved during the week we stayed there. Once the owner responded they did send fans over but it was a hot week. We rented 3 houses on this property and when people came by they reported we had too many people. I was not aware they were monitoring our comings and goings- the first i experienced that for any rental! I explain we were having a large family reunion, so all was ok with rental rules— just was weird to be accused. I would definitely stay at Otsego Club again. Nice walking paths and very convenient to downtown.

Very nice property, Blake is a great host

This is a very fun property! Nice game room and bar in the basement,! The house is on a golf hole with a nice (small) deck overlooking the course, and hot tub. The unit is well appointed, many nice touches like 2 kinds of coffee makers one Keurig for k cups (and aa pleasant suprise was the host provided a good assortment of k cups) and one standard drip coffee maker (we used both) I mentioned to the host that I wish he had a bigger griddle as I had 8 hungry guys and did things like bisg breakfasts of eggs and pancakes and smash burgers at night and the host did not hesitate to send a brand new bigger one! I did not ask for that, another pleasant suprise!. Thanks Blake

Golf trip

Such a great place for our group of 8 golfing buddies. Plenty of rooms for nearly everyone to have their own room. Very clean and the communication was great. Unfortunate we had to cut our trip short a day d/t rain but next time we come back to play we hope to stay here again.

Nice place but a little quirky

We were 7 guys for a week long golf trip. For the most part the house served its purpose. Clean and spacious and pretty well stocked. Some issues were the lack of information concerning how to use the hot tub, where to take garbage, how to leave house when our week ended. A strange thing was the no access to the garage or the master bedroom closet. A few hangers and hooks on doors were provided to hang clothes. The AC unit was a bit of an issue since getting a comfortablr temp on the main floor made the basement too cold and the 2nd floor too warm. A split unit would work better. Privacy on the 2nd floor was somewhat limited as one of the bedrooms was really a loft area and not a bedroom as indicated in the descrition that had to be walked thru to get to another bedroom. Also, one of the light switches in the master bathroom has a short in it and would turn off by itself.

A+ Property with an incredible host

Blake’s unit could not have been better for my group of 8. It slept 8 comfortably and the amount of bathrooms was more than convenient. If needed, the basement and main level had room for air mattress’s in case people don’t want to bunk up in a room. We spent our weekend golfing in the area where the main level open concept was the perfect spot to plan our moves for the day and the basement was an ideal place to congregate after our rounds to relax. We enjoyed the perks of being on the Otsego property - access to the restaurant & bar, walking distance to the driving range & pro-shop, and quiet evenings. The unit was clean, updated, and had more amenities than required for our group. My group last minute decided to come up a day early and Blake was generous enough to open the condo up for an extra night. I can’t say enough about this property and Blake - We will be booking this unit again for next years trip!

The PERFECT Up North Getaway

What a place!! So spacious could easily host 2-3 families or great for adults to unwind. Perfectly appointed location to enjoy the resort for golf or ski. Not to mention just a minute from town. Loved sitting in the hot tub, watching the golfers play through, and sleeping in (beds are quality sheets, pillows, and mattresses (can be rare now a days)). Just absolutely optimal even had my morning cup of coffee for me :) 10000% stay here!!!
