Family fun

This is our 3rd time there as a family group. The house meets our needs completely. The lake and beach area were great for our growing children. For each family to have their own suit is such a great accommodation to have.

Our summer happy place

This is our 2nd stay at this property. Great for our annual family vacation. Grandma and Grandpa were very comfortable with the first floor suite and short and level walk to the lake. The location works excellent for our Shel Haven canoe day and our golf day. Having use of the space across the street for parking and play is a nice bonus.

Beautiful!

House and property were beautiful with plenty of sleeping accommodations for all! Host answered any questions immediately and was very pleasant to work with. Overall family enjoyed the stay. The only concern was some mold in the kitchen and an old shriveled up pizza in the refrigerator…but not enough to keep us from visiting again.

Vacation fun.

The house worked well for our group of 8 adults and 2 children, although it could use a little refreshing or updating. There was plenty of room for everyone. The lake and beach were great for children and lake activities, and the property's proximity to golf courses, walking paths and bike trails was certainly a plus.

Snowmobile Vacation

We had a great time during our stay. Initially started off well with a conversation with the owner when booking. Property manager met us on arrival and walked us through the entire property and provided answers to all of our questions. We had plenty of parking for our trailers and vehicles on the owners property. Short ride to main trail and excellent location for food and beverage access. We will book again for next year. We will post some pictures in the near future.

This house was perfect for our family! We had two children under 2 with us and there was a really nice space for them to roam around and play with their toys. The view looking out from the house was absolutely gorgeous. Communication with the owner and manager was also really great. They helped make sure we had a great stay. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to take advantage of the water activities, but I wish we could have. We did enjoy just sitting outside and looking at the beautiful lake. We could see the bottom of the lake by the house! We spent a little time in the downtown Gaylord area which was super cute and had great food options! If it was closer to us or we have another occasion in the area, we will definitely return.

Full Family Vacation

We had a family group of 7 adults and 7 kids. What a great facility. We had plenty of room, big table for dinner plus picnic tables, fun balcony, plus two extra rooms if you needed quite time. It was super hot and the air conditioning was great. Lake was good for all ages.
