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!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Kennedy

Hello! Thank you for considering our "Lake House" for your next vacation. We currently live downstate in Rochester Hills, MI. Our up north is Gaylord where we have a small family cottage just 10 minutes away from the "Lake House" on Manuka Lake. We have 3 kids and family that have enjoyed this area with us since 2017. When we decided to purchase a property as a rental, it was an easy choice to buy here, as we wanted people to enjoy many of the same experiences that have when we vacation. We wanted a place that makes a family smile as soon as they pull in the driveway. I had pictures in my mind of kids getting out of the car, running to the dock to check out the water, then running into the house to look around and choose which bed they were going to sleep in. Whether it's summer days on the water and evening bonfires or winter days snowmobiling, skiing, or family games inside, I hope you come experience some of the things that we love spending time in Gaylord.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet neighborhood the "Lake House" in. The lake is calm and perfect for kayaks and paddle boarding. The shallow beach area offers peace of mind while your young children play. Both adults and children can enjoy catching fish from the dock or going further out. You can take a walk down the road and always get a friendly wave from the neighbors. There is a park down the road for kids to play basketball or swing.

What makes this property unique

From the beautiful views of the lake from the balcony's in the spring and summer, the colorful leaves on the trees across the lake in the fall, or having space to park your trailers/sleds while being close to the main trail, the "Lake House" is perfect for your next family vacation.
