Girls Weekend
We stayed here for our annual girls weekend. Kurt is amazing to work with. His friendly grounds/maintenance staff even stopped in to check on us..making sure we didnt need anything! The house is very easy to find, clean, stocked, and close to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Plenty of parking too! We would definitely stay here again.

Otsego Lake
Had a great weekend on the lake. House was spacious and well equipped. Only negative was that the dock was not in. Our grandsons brought all their fishing gear and were disappointed that they couldn’t fish off the dock.

Beautiful home near the lake
Host was very helpful. Home was right on the lake, we rented out a pontoon that allowed us to enjoy the weather and views of the lake. I recommend anyone looking for a home that has a beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful Lake Getaway
Kurt was a fantastic host, and helped answer any questions we had almost immediately! The place has nice sized bedrooms and a beautiful back deck and pier on the lake. We rented a fishing boat from a place across the street, which I would also highly recommend.

Beautiful Location
We had a great time. Found the cottage to be exactly as we thought. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample water toys in the garage. Communications with the property manager was exceptional as he gave us some reco's for shopping and eating in nearby Gaylord.
Wasn't a fan of the 6 children next door visiting the Grand parents but hey, that is the risk you run when you rent a cottage in the summer. Truth be told the children were not that big of distraction.
We were one of the first visitors as a result we booked with no review...but it was perfect. Really loved the 2 person Kayak.
Wouldn't hesitate to rent the cottage again.

A home away from home
My family and I frequently venture up north during the summer months around the surrounding area. This is the first place we found we'd rather stay at the rental rather than trying to find things to do locally. Perfect family spot! We look forward to staying here again.
