About this property
Up North cabin in the woods: a perfect spot for nature lovers & adventurers!
Newly listed! Our home away from home in Northern Michigan is 15 miles west of Gaylord and is centrally situated to several great destinations for the entire family to enjoy. Located on a private and quiet double lot in beautiful Lakes of the North, its secluded location offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cabin has 4 bedrooms plus an overflow loft (sleeps 9), along with two full bathrooms. The kitchen is completely stocked to cook for an army if you’d like, along with a full size washer and dryer. After a long day of adventuring, enjoy the sauna and indoor hot tub, or warm up next to the fireplace. Outside there is plenty of space to park your trailers, plus a nice fire pit with plenty of wood to cook s’mores (cooking sticks provided).
If you want to do a little shopping or dining, the Alpine Village of Gaylord is just a quick 15 minute drive and offers several great local restaurants. If you care to venture out a bit further, the cabin is centrally located, allowing you to easily make a day trip to some of the best resort towns in the state (Mackinac Island - 70 miles, Petoskey - 50 miles, Traverse City -50 miles).
Looking for a home base for snowmobile or ATV riding? The cabin's proximity to Trail 4 makes it an ideal base for snowmobile or ATV enthusiasts, granting access to some of Northern Michigan's finest riding trails. Located in ‘the buckle’ of the Northern Michigan snowbelt, there is an average snowfall over 150 inches a year! Want to ski? Boyne Mountain – one of the largest ski resorts in Michigan – is less than 30 minutes away, and several smaller resorts are even closer.
As part of LOTN there are several amenities available right in the neighborhood, including Deer Run Golf Course, Settings Restaurant, an outdoor ice skating rink and two swimming lakes with playgrounds. For an ADDITIONAL FEE, you can also access the community clubhouse with indoor pool slides, basketball courts, tennis courts, and pickleball.
This home has been in our family for 20 years and has provided so many great memories. If you have any questions about the area or the home, don’t hesitate to ask! As this is a new listing, we are offering discounted rates for early renters who will work with us as we refine our renting procedures.
Other amenities:
Internet / wifi
TV in living room and two bedrooms (all equipped with Roku smart systems)
Kitchen includes coffee maker, griddle, blender, toaster, dishwasher, microwave
Propane gas grill
Board games, cooler, tennis rackets, campfire cooking utensils available for use
Washer and dryer with secondary drink refrigerator
outdoor fire pit with firewood
PLEASE NOTE - The home does NOT have central air conditioning, but there is a large mini-split heat pump that cools the majority of the house comfortably. There are also fans are available in the closets and there are several ceiling fans throughout. With the cool mornings and open windows the house remains comfortable.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host

We've been visiting northern Michigan for 40 years. Our parents purchased this home in 2005 and it has been the gathering place for the extended family ever since. We originally came for the snow, but have grown to love the Michigan summers almost as much!
What makes this property unique
Our cabin feels like a home because that's what it has been for the past 19 years. From playing cards to board games, the house is supplied with several items to occupy a rare rainy day in Michigan. The kitchen is supplied with everything you would find at your own home, and enough dishes to host a large party!
