Looking to get away this fall? Come enjoy the Lake House!

Fantastic all-seasons vacation spot in “up north” Michigan! This peaceful lakefront cottage sleeps 12 for a perfect getaway for your a girls’ weekend, golf outings, romantic getaways, or your whole family.

3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, open living room with fireplace and smart TV, dining table seats 6, basement with ping pong, foosball, and laundry. Bedroom 1 on the main floor has a queen bed. Bedroom 2 upstairs has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 upstairs features 3 double beds. Also a queen bed in the basement.

Summer: Enjoy the outdoors from all 3 levels: covered porch and 2 balconies, walkout from basement. Eat lunch at the picnic table, play at the sandy beach, and toast s’mores at the fire pit on the double lot with 200 feet of waterfront. Explore no-wake Fawn Lake by kayak or paddle board. (There are 2 of each.) Find life jackets, fishing poles, beach toys, cornhole and bocci in the shed along with both gas and charcoal grills.

Bringing your pontoon or speedboat? All-sports Heart Lake has a public access around the bend and 8-mile long Otsego Lake is 2 miles up the road. Enjoy Otsego State Park or walk 1 mile to a playground, basketball courts, and nature trail.

Fall and Spring: You never know what weather Michigan might bring during these seasons. You may enjoy some extra lake time in the fall or get in one last downhill ski trip in the spring. You can always count on golfing during these scenic seasons. The Ridge, The Loon, The Lakes, Otsego Club, Gaylord Country Club & Treetops are just a few of the many public courses nearby.

Winter: Access Trail 7 at the end of the road and head all the way to Mackinac or enjoy miles and miles of local groomed and marked snowmobile trails. Room for your trailer of sleds on property or rent locally. Skiing options galore: Otsego and Treetops (15 minutes), Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek and Boyne Mountain (30 minutes).

We had 4 adults, 7 kids stay and it was a amazing amount of room. Kids were well entertained between the option to fish, swim or play outside. Lake is quiet, and beautiful loons swam by often. My kids had nothing but amazing things to say about where we stayed. We would highly consider staying here again, if we take another trip to that area.

Good central location
Aside from dirty towels hanging in the bathroom, the house was clean. The lake itself was peaceful, but there's 24/7 road noise from all the vehicles traveling on I75. With that beind said, It was a great central location for day trips we had planned. What we disliked the most was all the cameras. There's a doorbell type camera at the front door, theres a camera facing down on the front porch, and a camera facing the beach area. Basically every place you would enjoy being when you're outside, you're being watched on camera. We did enjoy the kayaks and SUPs and my son caught some nice bass. If you can sleep through road noise from the interstate and dont mind being watched when you're outside, it's a good choice

Great Lake Cottage
We really enjoyed this small lake cottage. Very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the lovely view and paddle boarding/kayaking on Fawn Lake. We had no complaints. It was clean and as promised. We didn't swim (only kayaked) so I can't speak to the bottom of the lake but the water was very clear and warm enough. The kitchen, while small and basic, was suitable for making simple meals. The beds were comfy. My teens enjoyed the ping pong table. The host was very responsive. This is definitely a great family place to hang out!

Very peaceful lake with good fishing
The house was clean and fit our family of 8 very nicely. We were concerned about the one bathroom but it somehow worked out. A row boat would have been nice. The paddle boat was broken but my son in law was able to fix it enough to use. When I wrote the host about it, he was quick to reply. We got a nice batch of gills out of the lake. I would bring my family again

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!

Quiet, rustic wooded sanctuary right on the lake
This was our second time staying at this property. We love that it is right on the lakefront, but also has a rustic wooded area with a fire pit. It is very private and quiet here on this lake. We stayed here with 12 of my family members, 7 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of sleeping room, and something to do for everyone. There were kayaks, and paddle boards. The private Sandy beach is great for kids to play. There is a dock for fishing. We brought our own poles, life jackets, etc but there was also a great supply available at the house for your use if needed. The fire pit area is great and has plenty of seating for a large group. We also love the large covered porch area. Even on a rainy day you can still sit outside and not get wet. Anything you need is there and available to use. There is a large playground just down the road too. Jason, the host was amazing to work with and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We just love the setting of this house and all of the surroundings and would to return for a third year.

Perfect Getaway
We stayed for a week. I loved this house. The lake was right there and the toys to play on it kept my kids entertained for days. The neighbors were also delightful and friendly. For me, I loved to sit outside in the early morning with a coffee and book and enjoy the early morning view. Also great places to walk. My kids also enjoyed the nearby park too. I didn't want to leave. This tops the list of cabin getaway on a lake, private, spacious, fun... the works.

Tranquil Paradise on the Water: A Serene Retreat
Our recent stay at this VRBO property exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the rental. The location, right on the water's edge, provided unparalleled convenience for water activities. With kayaks and stand-up paddleboards readily available, we had a blast exploring the crystal-clear, no-wake lake. The owner was an absolute delight to work with. They were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about ensuring our stay was enjoyable. Their recommendations for local attractions and dining options were spot-on, making our vacation even more memorable. When we needed a break from the water, we found plenty of entertainment options indoors. The ping pong table provided hours of friendly competition, and the assortment of board games added a fun element to our evenings. The highlight of the property, however, were the stunning balconies overlooking the lake. Whether we were sipping our morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the breathtaking views and serenity of the surroundings were truly awe-inspiring. Overall, we cannot recommend this VRBO property enough. Clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located, it offers an unforgettable vacation experience. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure or a peaceful retreat, this rental ticks all the boxes. Don't hesitate to book your stay here – you won't be disappointed!!!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location of the cottage is great! It is private and secluded but close enough to the town of Gaylord. The cottage is clean and cozy.

Best family vacation ever!!
If you rent this property you will not be disappointed!! We stayed here for a week with extended family (9 people) and slept comfortably, the lake is perfect for children as its not to large and kids can enjoy it without you worrying. We fished, went swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, had a camp fire, grilled out, played games and relaxed. We also visted mackinaw city (55 minutes away) and torch lake twice (40 minute drive). Over all this vacation is one for the books we all had a blast. Jason is the host and i do believe he might be the best host ive ever had, if i had a question he replied within minutes. Thank you for renting us your beautiful home!
