About this property

Horn HideAway: Wooded Cottage, Snowmobilers Welcome!

Horn HideAway is a peaceful retreat just outside of Gaylord, Mi.

The space
The Gaylord Snowmobile trails can be ridden to in a couple minutes directly from the cottage. A great place to eat is Paul's Pub in Johannesburg, snowmobilers welcome!

The Horn HideAway features 2 bedrooms and a loft space. The "Captain's Quarters" has a queen bed, closet for storing your items and a cabinet with games/books. The large loft accommodates a queen and double bed with a dedicated workspace, including an extra monitor. We affectionately call this the “Bird’s Nest”, since you can see down to the living and dining rooms.

The kitchen has been completely updated within the last year and includes a new stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. A bar extends from the wall in the kitchen and accommodates 2 bar stools adjacent to the dining room table. Small kitchen appliances include coffee pot, crockpot, waffle maker, electric knife, electric mixer and griddle.

TV works and cell service is good. Just upgraded to TrueStream internet, so much faster and better than our previous wireless! We have a huge collection of DVDs to watch including many WWII movies, thanks to Grandpa Chuck! We also keep a PlayStation 2 with some games; an oldie, but goody! There is a propane fireplace in the living room to help you stay warm and cozy!

Up north cabin

The beds were comfortable and the property is in a nice lake community up north. It's very close to Gaylord, and it's very quiet.
