Had a great time and stay!
We came up for a snowmobile trip and everything about the house was as advertised. This home has quick and convenient access to the large trail system in the Gaylord area. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!!

From the Owner: "Thank you so much for staying! We hope to see you soon! Thank you for the kind words!"
We rented a place (my two adult daughters and my 3 yo grandson) to spend some time together. We went on small day trips because we were close to so many places and things to do. Highly recommend.
From the owner: “Thanks for staying with us at Lakes of the North!!!! Hope to see you soon!"

This was our second stay with these owners and it was another good experience overall. We will be back!
A few small things we wanted to point out. The railing on the deck had multiple lose boards and our 1.5year old was out there before we noticed, thank god she wasn't unsupervised. Those should be repaired asap. We couldn't sit out on the deck as the chairs and the deck were covered in Bird pooped.
The house was nice and while the room air conditioner was advertised it was only in the main living room and not in any of the bedrooms. This made the bedrooms get very hot at night even with ceiling and oscillating fans.
Also, the washer and dryer were not working/available which was not noted in the listing. We came up north to visit the lakes and beaches and it was disappointing to not be able to wash the beach towels and bathing suits.
Everything else with the home was great and comfortable.

From the owner: "Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry I was unaware of the washer and dryer as being an amenity. We have never offered that. We will definitely be communicating on this issue. Thanks again!!!"
