Guests say the views are lovely.
Step into natures playground in Gaylord Michigan. This three bedroom one bath cabin is located steps to beautiful Otsego lake with access across the street where you can swim, fish or try out kayaking! With a cozy up north cabin feel you also have the amenities of home with Wi-Fi for streaming, a full kitchen, washer & dryer, and downtown Gaylord just a 9 minute drive away! There is an abundance of golf courses close by with some just up the road: Michaywe Pines, The Ridge, and The Loon!

The space
You can walk across the street to public beach Wah Wah Soo where you can swim , fish, sunbathe or take in all the views. If snowmobiling is your calling you can hop onto Trail #7 right from the property! Take a scenic bike ride with bikes provided for exploring the many trails in the area or ride up to the nearby bars and restaurants. If staying in for a cozy cabin night is your idea of a getaway, we have you covered. Turn on the record player and snuggle up by the fireplace or play some board games with friends or family. If the weather is right, you might just catch a breathtaking sunset or some eagles with a prime view from the cabin!

The mudroom to laundry room is great for unloading all of your wet snow gear or summer sand-soaked towels and with an attached garage you can work on any of your sleds or toys!

We also have a firepit, grill, and corn hole boards for outdoor fun!

During November/January the house is decorated for the holidays to make your stay extra cozy this time of year!

We are on a double lot so we have room to park large trailers in front of the house for snowmobiles, ATVs or small watercraft.

Guest access
Keyless entry with personalized key codes for each guest.

Guests can use the whole house including the garage except for the small storage basement.

Other things to note
We have 2 kayaks and 4 bikes available for guest use! In order to use them we require a signed waiver prior to use.

Our fireplace does not work but we have a life like electric insert for ambiance!

Window A/C available in the bedrooms in the summer months.

The beach across the street can get crowded in the high peak summer weekends, luckily we're just a few feet from it so you can get there early to claim your spot for the day!

Otsego Lake State Park is a 5 minute drive south where there is a large beach and great fishing pier! There's also the Sturgeon river about 20 minutes north where you can tube lazily down in the summer or raft in the summer AND winter! The Iron Belle Trail which starts in Belle Isle, Detroit and ends in Ironwood in the UP is the longest designated state trail in the nation and is steps from the house. If you are looking for a fishing pier or boat launch, Otsego Lake State park is 3 minutes away. Snowmobile trail #7 rides along the Iron Belle as well! Watch the snowmobilers fly by as you sit cozy in the sunroom. For any ORV riders, North Branch ORV trail head is 8 minutes east of the property.

My work: Graphic Designer & Airbnb Host
I'm an adventurous, fun loving traveler who will jump on any opportunity to see the world any chance I get. Married, dog mom of 2 Vizslas. I own a home myself so I understand the importance of treating others homes the way you would want yours treated. I love new experiences and I LOVE trying new foods and drinks from the places I visit. I love a good coffee in the AM, looking at whatever Mother Nature has to offer me that morning and I especially love very very spicy food!
