Snowmobile weekend

Bob is a great host. The home was very clean and perfect size for us (10 adults). Location is everything, and this location is absolutely perfect for snowmobiling. The trail is literally right across the street. Very close to bars and restaurants as well. Will definitely be staying here in the future again.

Another Great Stay!

Our third year staying at the cottage and six old friends again very much enjoyed our stay. Bob is great at communicating before, during and after our time in Gaylord. Everything works, is clean and any issue, a phone call will resolve. We will be returning again next year. Thanks Bob!

Coming back for a 6th year !

Bob is very accommodating. It’s not ritzy but when you consider everything you get a lot for the money. I already booked next year for our 6th visit. The 2 separate living areas is great if you have 2 families or you want to give the kids one and you have your own private area. There’s no beach but the state and county parks are just a few miles away and are very nice. The boat launch is at the county park so it’s close. Shopping is close to all the big box stores and close to the small downtown stores. The fishing is good after you find the right spots and the lake is 5 miles long so a lot of opportunity for boating activities. Traverse city, Mackinac are not that far if you would like to make visits. Overall a good place at a good price !

Week at the lake

Bob was fantastic to work with, start to finish. It was a peaceful weekend. Close enough to stores for convenience if you forgot anything, but tucked away so you feel out of the chaos. The property had more than enough room. We would definitely stay again.

Great Lake House

Great rental on Otsego Lake! Large waterfront rental that sleeps many, kitchen well stocked. The only negative is no swimming in front of cottage, but that was noted in the listing.

Great Snowmobile Location

The location and house setup was perfect for a group of aging snowmobilers. There are two TV/sleeping areas with the kitchen in between. This allowed the early to bed guys to be separated from the late night crowd. The large garage easily held 7 sleds with room for more. The side lot was even plowed so we had a perfect spot for a 27ft trailer to be backed in. Had a minor surprise when arriving, made the owner aware and got immediate response and resolution options. That kind of service alone makes we want to rent this place again.

Snowmobile Trip!

Perfect location for snowmobile trails with garage for storing sleds at night. House was clean and has plenty of room for a large group. Bob the owner is the best and I would put him at the top of my list.

Winter wonderland!

I’m sure it’s great in the summer but we absolutely love this area in the winter. We booked for a long weekend of snowmobiling snow skiing and more! My kids spent hours and hours playing on the snow covered ice right out the back door! Ditch the tablets and YouTube and enjoy what winter in Gaylord has to offer. Bring a snowmobile or 5 plenty of room for parking and tinkering. Super close proximity to trail 7 a giant ice playground few steps away! Perfect winter retreat!
