Great for an Up North Getaway

The group had a great time at the house. We had never been to Gaylord before and it was very good experience. We had a lot of space a for two families traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans etc. The backyard grill was great. There were Kayaks on site but we didn't have time to use them. There was extra soaps on hand if you need them too. Pretty much every chain restaurant and Meijer is up there. A small downside was if people (our wild children) are roaming around upstairs and you're in a first floor bedroom. You will hear it. But it wasn't a huge issue for us. It was very easy to find and there is loads to do in the area. Just me mindful that all the bars close around 10pm. We recommend the Iron Pig, Ostego State Park, Young State Park, and going to the Skybridge at Boyne Mt. The gals also got pedicures at Salon Bliss it was wonderful! We'd love to come back!

Place to relax

Good value as it accommodates a lot of people and is well stocked with all the essentials. We needed a much needed RnR and this place allowed us to do that as we were able to cook, play lots of games, ring in the new year, watch bowl games and spend quality time with family!

Quiet retreat

My family has vacationed together for 6 years now, trying to visit a different Michigan lake each year. Otsego Lake was a fairly quiet area although close to needed grocery stores, etc. Kevin was easy to contact and was helpful and easy to talk to. The only thing that would’ve made this stay better is if the house had been on the water. We survived the short walk there with the various items all of our family members wanted to enjoy.

Gaylord Getaway

The cottage/property was a great basecamp for our three week Gaylord Getaway. Clean, comfortable, cozy house with charming private back yard. Conveniently located for shopping in Gaylord and exploring the surrounding tip of the Michigan Mit. The owners, Kevin and Jackie Drummond, are fantastic hosts, very accommodating, sweet people. I would definitely rent from them again. Thank you for a great stay!!

Buddies Golf Trip

Great location for a Gaylord golf trip. Easy to get to golf resorts and Gaylord downtown area. older property but well managed and clean. Water had "mineral" smell quality that might be common in the area.

Our golf outing

The house was good size for us and very clean. Only problem was the floor on the upstairs is very noisy to those below especially early in the morning. Owner was very nice and kept in contact with us for anything we might need.

Nice stay for our group

We had five people in our group for a snowmobile weekend around Gaylord. The weather cooperated and the accommodations were perfect for our needs. The landlord was very accommodating and checked in to make sure everything was OK. The house was close to the main trail and worked great. It was a nice place to relax after a long day of riding.

Wonderful!

House was clean and inviting. Plenty of space for the entire family and 3 friends of our children's. Only complaint is that the mattress in the master was very uncomfortable- then again- most rentals don't have quality mattresses. Kevin was super kind and helpful. Got to meet him in person. Would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Drummond

My wife Jackie and I have been married for twenty eight years. We have seven children. In the year 2000 we moved to Gaylord from the Grand Rapids area and fell in love with Gaylord immediately. We knew this is where we wanted to raise our children. All but one still reside in Gaylord or with us. Jackie is from Iowa and I am from Holland Mi. We enjoy all outdoor activities from hunting, fishing, skiing to boating and just relaxing on the pontoon with our kids. We are about 3 miles from the cabin and are available at anytime to help make your stay enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted to own a cabin that we could enjoy for ourselves, family and friends. With all that Gaylord has to offer we decided to get into the vacation rentals and this is our only one. Our goal is to have your stay the most enjoyable stay ever.
