We were very happy with the property. The host was very helpfull and answered questions we had promptly. He was also very patient with me as I was a little confused about the pool clubhouse usage.
This space was great for our needs! Always appreciate a pet-friendly property. The king bed downstairs was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. They yard space is well maintained and great to spend time in. Having two living spaces and the big dining table was perfect for us as we were working remotely part of the time - the wifi was great the whole time we were there as well.
The hard surfaces in the home were very clean; however, the carpet and soft surfaces need a deep clean/refresh. Our socks/bottom of feet were very dirty when walking around on the carpeted areas and faint smell of dog throughout (which is to be expected to an extent but was more than we have encountered in other properties). The downstairs bathroom tub and sink drains need to be cleared out as well, both drained very slowly. Overall, was a fairly clean home but needs some TLC. We would definitely return if these were noted as being addressed.
The property is very remote, several miles outside of Gaylord, but for us, that was part of the appeal. The rental offers plenty of room for a large family or group, with 5 beds (3 in the kids rooms), as well as a pull out sofa in the living room and a comfy sectional that could work as a bed in the huge rec room. Our son especially loved this area, with a big tv, video games and comfy seating. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials. And, the fire pit was so nice at night, surrounded by quiet woods.
Best of all, the area is an hour or so from Mackinaw City, Traverse City, Petoskey and not much further to Sleeping Bear Dunes.
All in all, it was a great up north experience. The host was super quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definately stay again.
Our family couldn’t have been happier with this house! The location was so quiet and private. In fact, pretty much the only traffic we had during our stay was the mail truck each day. Everything we needed was already thought of accommodation wise and the host is extremely responsive. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to the area.
The house was very clean and spacious. We loved the location! The Lakes of the North club house was great for the kids! We had a wonderful time

Great house, but plan on shoveling to get in the driveway
We arrived in the middle of a snow storm. We appreciated Matt allowing us to arrive early during the weather. We did not expect to have to shovel heavy snow to get into the property.
The house was a perfect size and layout for our family of 5. Kids loved going to the clubhouse pool! Property owner was great to book through and always communicated promptly back. Would love to come back again!
We had a fantastic stay! The house had everything we needed and true to the description and pictures. It was very family friendly with a big table for everyone to eat at and the kids loved the game room! We aren’t skiers but we did enjoy winter walks, sledding down the hill on the side of the house, a winter bonfire, a sleigh ride at Cook Family Farm and lots of time at the pool.
We had great communication with Matt, who was very quick to respond with any questions we had.
We would love to go back!
My sister, her family and mine enjoyed this winter wonderland for four nights! We rented snowmobiles locally and even though there wasn’t much fresh powder, we still enjoyed the trails!
The house was warm and welcoming for the 7 of us! The kitchen was well equipped. If anything, the beds could have been more comfortable but I’m spoiled at home so they were probably just adequate!
Our family of 7, grandparents, parents & grandkids enjoyed swimming and skiing. The house was comfortable and well equipped for our 4 nights. Improvements would be a new dishwasher and a better mattress in the queen bedroom upstairs.
The house was perfect for our trip. The kids got to sled in the front yard., and enjoy the pool at the clubhouse. The home was well stocked. We also enjoyed snowboarding at Tree tops while we were there. It was a great family trip.
We have traveled and rented many places. One was a horror while many were good. But, this property was WONDERFUL!
1. Well stocked
2. Peaceful
3. Great communication
4. Full lists of places you may need in an emergency( Doctors, Dentists, and Vets for your pets)
5. Nearby great shopping
6. Great decor
7. Nature
8. Quiet
We felt relaxed and at ease the whole time there and are looking forward to next years Anniversary trip which has already been booked.
Property was comfortable and in a very quiet and beautiful area. Communication with the owner was easy and he responded promptly. Would suggest bath mats or grab bars for the bathroom showers.
