Summer dates are going fast! Come relax at The Lake House.

Fantastic all-seasons vacation spot in “up north” Michigan! This peaceful lakefront cottage sleeps 12 for a perfect getaway for your whole family or a group of friends.

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.

Very peaceful lake with good fishing
The house was clean and fit our family of 8 very nicely. We were concerned about the one bathroom but it somehow worked out. A row boat would have been nice. The paddle boat was broken but my son in law was able to fix it enough to use. When I wrote the host about it, he was quick to reply. We got a nice batch of gills out of the lake. I would bring my family again

Weekend retreat
A clean little home with a view! There was plenty to do both at the home and in the surrounding town. Jason has the house well stocked and is quick to respond if you need anything. Would stay here again if ever in the area.

Cute little cottage
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend. Overall a very nice little cottage on a quiet lake. Beautiful views and property. The kitchen could have used a few more tools and cookware, but we were able to figure it out.

Great Up North getaway
This lake house was great. So many amenities to keep everybody busy and happy for the whole stay. The grandkids (5 and 6) had a blast and the grownups had plenty to do and not be on top of each other. The lake was quiet and mostly unused by others. Fishing was so/so but not bad. There is a spider that lives on the end of the dock - we named him George. He owns the dock past 9pm and is not afraid to let you know this. Our beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and having laundry on site was amazing. Location was super close to both Grayling and Gaylord. Easy access to I-75.

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!

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.

Perfect Family Getaway
My husband and I took our daughter and 4 grandkids here for a 3 night stay and it was wonderful. Plenty for everyone to do. Lots to do in Gaylord and a Town Park is right up the road. A very nice getaway.

Perfect weekend away
The house was quaint and right on the water of a gorgeous lake. The house had everything we needed and wanted. The owner was very responsive to questions and was great to work with. We are already planning our return visit, this time with the kids.
