This cabin is a straightforward Thanksgiving house: a full kitchen and a table for eight, a fire pit in the fenced yard, and three bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa so the group can spread out. The home is close to snowmobile trails 4 and 7. Check routes and trail conditions before you ride. The driveway can fit snowmobile trailers or sleds if parked carefully, and rentals are about 1.3 miles away.

Otsego Resort is seven minutes for skiing, Treetops Resort is 13 minutes, and Boyne Mountain is about 30 minutes. Cross-country options include the North Central State Trail, Pine Baron Pathway, and Gaylord Area XC trails. Shanty Creek Resort is a short drive. Downtown Gaylord — Michigan’s “Alpine Village” — is six minutes away for shops, breweries, and a holiday meal out. After dinner, come back for a movie, or use the fire pit if you bring firewood.

Otsego Lake is a quarter-mile walk; the boat launch is for warmer months, and lake access is not a promise of safe ice.

Please plan around the single shared bathroom. There is a locked cleaner’s closet that is unavailable to guests. No pets. Smoking is not allowed indoors. A rental agreement, ID verification, and a security deposit or damage waiver are required.

The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, well stocked, and well laid out. It is close to the lake for access and the location allows to get quickly into town while being in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with the host was excellent, prompt, and the information about the area/home was appreciated. Excellent stay!

Gaylord Fall Getaway

Sierra & Brendan’s home is amazing! Short walk to the lake. The home is extremely clean and furniture very comfortable. The beds have a heating feature which is a nice touch, there is also space heaters is each room (this helps since there is no vents in bedrooms). I would definitely would stay here again if traveling to this area.

Wow! Our host was so communicative and helpful. When the cleaning crew noticed that the refridgerator wasn't working correctly, we were immediately notified that they were working on the problem. We arrived to find a fridge that we could use until the other was fixed. Fabulous. The overall house was well equipped and perfect for what we needed. A great place to hang out and so close to the snowmobile trail. Highly recommend!
