Guesthouse in Woods

This is a beautiful guesthouse that is super clean, well maintained, and has all the necessary amenities. It is off the beaten path and very quiet, but easy to access, and a great location for the Gaylord area. A great value!

Quiet and relaxing stay

Our family had a great time here. Everything was as described in the listing. It was very clean and cozy. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed to be well-supplied. The outdoors can be enjoyed with coffee on the deck or a fire. The kids enjoyed visiting the friendly cows.

The stay here was great from check-in to check-out. My husband and I brought our two teenagers, their friend, and our two younger boys. The space was perfect - we had all we needed and more. We were most pleased with the cleanliness and quality of bedding, furniture, and really the entire house/property. We hope to stay again, some day!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Porter's house! It was beautiful and very clean. It had everything we needed and then some! Kathy was such a friendly host. We got to learn a little bit about the property and watch the cows come to eat. Check-in was quick and easy. We loved the spacious kitchen and closet space! If there hadn't been a fire ban due to lack of rain, we would have loved to use the fire pit to roast marshmallows. One morning there were lots of turkeys on the hill behind the house! It was such a comfortable and peaceful place to stay. We hope to stay there again on future vacations up north!
