Looking to get away this fall? Come enjoy the Lake House!

Fantastic all-seasons vacation spot in “up north” Michigan! This peaceful lakefront cottage sleeps 12 for a perfect getaway for a girls’ weekend, golf outings, romantic getaways, or your whole family.

3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, open living room with fireplace and smart TV, dining table seats 6, basement with ping pong, foosball, and laundry. Bedroom 1 on the main floor has a queen bed. Bedroom 2 upstairs has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 upstairs features 3 double beds. Also a queen bed in the basement.

Summer: Enjoy the outdoors from all 3 levels: covered porch and 2 balconies, walkout from basement. Eat lunch at the picnic table, play at the sandy beach, and toast s’mores at the fire pit on the double lot with 200 feet of waterfront. Explore no-wake Fawn Lake by kayak or paddle board. (There are 2 of each.) Find life jackets, fishing poles, beach toys, cornhole and bocci in the shed along with both gas and charcoal grills.

Bringing your pontoon or speedboat? All-sports Heart Lake has a public access around the bend and 8-mile long Otsego Lake is 2 miles up the road. Enjoy Otsego State Park or walk 1 mile to a playground, basketball courts, and nature trail.

Fall and Spring: You never know what weather Michigan might bring during these seasons. You may enjoy some extra lake time in the fall or get in one last downhill ski trip in the spring. You can always count on golfing during these scenic seasons. The Ridge, The Loon, The Lakes, Otsego Club, Gaylord Country Club & Treetops are just a few of the many public courses nearby.

Winter: Access Trail 7 at the end of the road and head all the way to Mackinac or enjoy miles and miles of local groomed and marked snowmobile trails. Room for your trailer of sleds on property or rent locally. Skiing options galore: Otsego and Treetops (15 minutes), Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek and Boyne Mountain (30 minutes). Boyne Mountain also offers an indoor water park.

We accept both short and long term rental stays. We can offer special rates for month or longer stays. Whatever the season or length of stay, we look forward to having you.

Great place, all around.

Beautiful property. Perfect view of the lake from both balconies and outdoor area. Very nice and clean interior (including bathroom, which wasn’t shown in pics) with great kitchen appliances. Lots of sleeping space and excellent WiFi. Booking and check in were problem-free. Owner was very fast to respond to questions. Highly recommended and would love to stay again in the future.

Wonderful Place

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is so beautiful. It was so clean and well stocked with everything. Our family enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. We also enjoyed the indoor games and the nice porch and great view of the lake. Our host was very friendly and quick to respond. We had a wonderful stay.

Musselman/dyer family.

We had 4 adults, 7 kids stay and it was a amazing amount of room. Kids were well entertained between the option to fish, swim or play outside. Lake is quiet, and beautiful loons swam by often. My kids had nothing but amazing things to say about where we stayed. We would highly consider staying here again, if we take another trip to that area.

Great Vacation Spot!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location of the cottage is great! It is private and secluded but close enough to the town of Gaylord. The cottage is clean and cozy. The view of the lake is beautiful and is great for fishing and loon watching. We absolutely loved this place and hope to be back again.

Great time, very relaxing

Our annual sisters trip was a success! Everything we needed to relax and rest was here and to have access to the lake right from our yard was the best. Very clean lake and stores were close enough if we needed something. Would definitely go back.

Great, private getaway for families!

This house was a great place to stay when you are looking for a laid back vacation spot! Our small children loved the beach and the kayaks/paddle boards. The area has great natural shade where we were able to place our infants to enjoy the outside without risk of sunburn. The location was secluded and had tons of lakes around. I would definitely consider coming back!

Wonderful trip for our family

The lake house was very nice and clean. I was a little nervous with only having 1 bathroom for 10 people but it worked out better than I had expected. Loved having the kayaks & paddle boards to go out on the lake. The kids loved swimming & fishing the most. Good location to go to Mackinaw Island. It was only an hour drive to the ferry. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect vacation

This has been a top 3 vacation for my family. Everything from communication with Jason to the check in to the check out was flawless, easy and enjoyable. The house is extremely clean and is stocked with everything that you will need for your stay such as plenty of linen and more then enough dishes and cookware. Jason also provides plenty of toys for the kids to enjoy in the water as well as the kayaks and paddle boards which were a blast. The lake didn't disappoint either as it was a perfect temperature the entire time. The fish were biting and the gentle wind kept any bugs away. Thank you so much Jason for letting us stay at your lake house and we can't wait to visit again next year.

Great Lake Cottage

We really enjoyed this small lake cottage. Very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the lovely view and paddle boarding/kayaking on Fawn Lake. We had no complaints. It was clean and as promised. We didn't swim (only kayaked) so I can't speak to the bottom of the lake but the water was very clear and warm enough. The kitchen, while small and basic, was suitable for making simple meals. The beds were comfy. My teens enjoyed the ping pong table. The host was very responsive. This is definitely a great family place to hang out!

Perfect Getaway

We stayed for a week. I loved this house. The lake was right there and the toys to play on it kept my kids entertained for days. The neighbors were also delightful and friendly. For me, I loved to sit outside in the early morning with a coffee and book and enjoy the early morning view. Also great places to walk. My kids also enjoyed the nearby park too. I didn't want to leave. This tops the list of cabin getaway on a lake, private, spacious, fun... the works.
