About the host
Hosted by Vince Iafrate

Vince built this cabin with a friend approximately 20 years ago. He used it originally as a snowmobiling cabin when he was single. Vince married Liz 10 years ago and now enjoys this cabin with his wife and children. The kids love coming here for long weekends because there is so much to do in the area!! The Lakes of the North pool is the kids' favorite activity, especially since the new clubhouse opened this past year! In the summer we love to visit all of the nearby lakes!! In the winter we all love to ski at Boyne Mountain Resort!
Why they chose this property
Lakes of the North is a 5 mile long wooded community with large lots. You can get away Up North into the woods, yet have all modern amenities nearby. Our chalet has two bedrooms on the main floor, a bedroom in the walkout level, and a large loft with 4 full-sized beds!
We pride ourselves on our cleanliness!! We use this chalet ourselves and have very high standards.
You will not run out of things to do! We love how the the chalet is only 15 minutes away from Gaylord and 30 minutes away from Boyne and Charlevoix, approx 45 minutes away from Traverse City, 90 minutes away from Mackinac Island. Otsego Lake State Park is only about 20 minutes away.
