Very nice home! Very clean! Will stay there again next time we visit the area. The only slight issue was that the propane tank ran out on our first evening. No biggie though.

Great place

Definitely a place to go with your spouse. Small children might not love it but it is close to the lake and a small boat access that is sandy and a great place to take a dip.

Fun Fall Break

We had a great stay at this property. The location is very pretty and within walking distance of the park. It was a bit too cold to take advantage of the fire pit but we were warm and cozy in the house 😀

Fun fall getaway

Very clean and nice cabin. It was only a 10-15 minute drive from everywhere we wanted to go in Gaylord, and a short walk to the beach. We especially enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, as it was a great place to see the fall colors :)

nice little cabin

The cabin was small and not fancy but extremely clean and had everything we needed. We liked that it was walking distance to county campground beach and short drive from Otsego Lake state park. The shower could use some updating but overall just a simple, nice place to stay.

So great!

The stay was peaceful, clean and perfect! The owners were very friendly and kept the place up to par and very cute on the inside and out! Only complaint was the no air conditioning, but it wasn’t unbearable since it’s in such a shaded area. Would love to come back and stay here again since Gaylord is such a beautiful place!

Great cabin!

Loved the pink door cabin in Gaylord! The pictures were spot on! Everything was clean, and very nice! For being a small cabin, it felt spacious! Loved the location- about an hour from Traverse City, and about the same for Mackinaw City / Island. Tina & Dennis wete great at communicating details. Would definately recommend, and we'd certainly stay there again!

Cozy little cabin

Nice cozy cabin for what we needed. Loved the fire pit out back. The bed was comfy. Bathroom/ shower was a little small but worked well. There was no shampoo or conditioner which honestly wasn’t a big issue since there are plenty of stores near. Overall, very clean with comfy bed, kitchen, fire place, and bonus of an outdoor grill. Check in was very easy and owners very responsive. We would stay again if we find ourselves in the area

Simply Perfect!

From the moment we walked in, the special touches were apparent. The cottage was so clean and welcoming! We loved having a fully equipped kitchen, especially a full-sized refrigerator. The fall colors were beautiful and we can't wait to go back and stay during the other seasons! Thank you to our awesome hosts, Tina and Dennis, for helping to make our stay perfect!

Warm & Cozy, Even in Winter

Just as described in the listing. Owner does request you remove your shoes, but that is not in the description.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jan 2022
Removing your shoes helps maintain a clean space, especially in the winter, no one wants to walk on wet carpet from snow. Never thought I would have to justify that.
