Welcome to our cherished vacation retreat in Gaylord, MI – a sanctuary where Northern Michigan's natural beauty seamlessly blends with comfort and elegance. Nestled amid lush forests and awe-inspiring landscapes, our warm and inviting haven is the perfect escape for families and groups.
What We Love About Our Property: For our family, this property is more than just a vacation retreat; it's a place filled with love, joy, and memories. We relish the bonding moments around the handbuilt custom log bar, where laughter echoes during family games of foosball and shuffleboard. The large smart TVs have hosted many movie nights, creating shared experiences that we hold dear. Our appreciation for craftsmanship is reflected in the intricate custom woodwork that adds a unique touch to our home, showcasing the passion and creativity that have shaped our family haven.
What You Will Love About Our Area: Northern Michigan is an adventurer's paradise with year-round activities. Whether it's golfing, hiking, and biking in the summer or thrilling skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, our area has something for everyone. Children can explore the nearby enchanting woods, while adults unwind in our private hot tub, immersed in stunning scenery.
Our Favorite Thing Within Walking Distance: A leisurely walk will lead you to the fantastic amenities of Otsego Resort, including a refreshing swimming pool, perfect for a relaxing dip or family fun. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at two world-class courses, while winter sports lovers glide down beautifully groomed slopes or cross-country through the scenic headwaters of the Sturgeon River Valley. Dining at the resort is a culinary journey, with gourmet restaurants satisfying all palates. The historic main lodge, welcoming guests since 1939, boasts charming log architecture that leaves a lasting impression. For entertainment, the Logmark bar offers billiards, darts, karaoke, live music, and a commanding view of the resort. Whether you aim to hit the links or the slopes, savor fine dining, take a refreshing swim, or dance the night away, Otsego Resort captivates every guest.
What Makes Our Property Stand Out: What sets our condo apart from others in the area is a deliberate focus on offering unique experiences. While many properties provide comfort, ours excels in creating an environment that entertains and brings everyone together. The game room, not commonly found in vacation rentals in the area, adds a layer of excitement and fun, making it a favorite among guests of all ages. Spacious bedrooms and ample bathrooms deliver a sense of luxury that goes beyond the ordinary, providing convenience and relaxation. Our attention to detail and personalized touches offer guests more than a place to stay; they provide a special experience that stands out among Gaylord vacation homes.
Your unforgettable Northern Michigan adventure begins at our charming retreat. We eagerly anticipate hosting you and helping craft memories that will last a lifetime. Come and discover why our property is genuinely something special!

We stayed here for our joint bach parties and the property is amazing!!Clean, comfortable and beautiful!! I wish I was planning another get together for us this summer because this would be my first choice in places to stay!!
Ample space for 8 guys for a golf weekend. Owner was on the spot with questions.. Had all the amenities needed. Def looking forward to staying there again.
Golf trip. Everyone was very happy with the accommodations. Very nice place. Easy check in and check out. Backs up to golf course. Blake the owner was very accessible and responsive. Game room and TV in the basement were a plus. Would definitely stay here again.
From allowing us to check-in a couple hours early to the accuracy and cleanliness of the overall property, we couldn't have been happier. Very spacious for our family and little ones. Perfect location on hole #2 of The Classic. Would easily stay here again.
Great condo. Tons of room for 10 golfers. The game room and bar downstairs was a nice bonus. Blake the owner was very accommodating and communication was prompt. We would stay again.
My friend group of 8 has been coming to Gaylord for an annual golf trip the last several years. This property was our favorite we’ve stayed at so far! Location was ideal and the property had everything we needed, we really enjoyed hanging out there in the evenings in both the basement and living rooms or even the hot tub. Great place for a group of guys looking to do a Gaylord golf trip!
Well kept, spacious property with a unique cabin feel and all the amenities you could ever want. My wife and I had a wonderful time here relaxing and traveling around northern Michigan.
It was a great house for our family. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were great!! It was close to tubing and skiing spots loved the hot tub, games and bar in basement! And Blake was great to respond! Would definitely book again
My boys and I just needed some family time away from all the teenage activities, so we decided to take a up trip up north to enjoy some snow and relaxation. The house was perfect! We wil be back!
