Nestled on 8 ½ acres on the North end of Guthrie Lake, enjoy a time away with great fishing, swimming, and other activities. Or choose to just get away from it all at our sheltered retreat with plenty of relaxation. The sighing of the breeze through the pine and hardwood forest speaks peace to my soul. The sand bottom lake is perfect for wading or swimming, boating, canoeing or kayaking. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and lake views. We love this place. It is the home of our hearts, and we are glad to share it with you. Guthrie Pines, Semi-Rustic 3 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath, 1600 sq. ft.+ lakefront ranch-style home, wooded lake frontage on 8 ½ acres. It's a beautiful spot on the North end of Guthrie Lake. This home has been in our family since it was built in the early 1970's. The Property has been in the family for 4 generations. Located at the original site of "the old cabin" (aka Camp Solitude) a hunting lodge for hunters in the "old days". Guthrie Pines is within the Guthrie Lakes Enchanted Forests subdivision. We are NOT a part of this subdivision, and as such, we are NOT allowed to have our renters use the subdivision amenities, other than the roads. Please respect the subdivision owners and do not use the parks, boat ramps (the state fishing site is available), clubhouse or other amenities of the Guthrie Lakes Enchanted Forests subdivision. Thanks so much! Guthrie Pines comfortably sleeps 6-12 (or more). The home features an open floor plan with one king and two queen beds in the three bedrooms, a queen hide-a-bed in the family room, (suitable for kids) and a double sofa-bed on the screened in porch (as well as a 4 other couches, air bed, and foam pads for floor sleepers.) Natural Pine paneled living room (Paneled with lumber from logs milled from the original Lake Guthrie Forest Reserve by our Dad!). The fireplace, a great feature of the living room (firewood is provided), has a spectacular view of the lake, when you just turn to warm up your back at the fire! Living area also has a large Flat Screen HD TV w/10 local channels plus Roku, PlayStation 2, with games, a Blu-Ray player, and a DVD and CD collection. Family room area has a game/eating table, desk and piano. The "Birch' and "Oak" bedrooms have beautiful handmade log beds. All of the bedrooms have Roku TVs. We have TruStream Fiber Optic internet for your use. Our fully equipped kitchen is ready for easy entertainment. Inside Dining areas can seat up to 24\. (Plus 4 tray tables!) Picnic table and multiple outdoor chairs are available outside for those who love it outdoors! Lakefront screened porch, provides gaming/eating space at a round oak table for 8 or more, as well as providing a wonderful location to relax and enjoy the lake (even build a puzzle there if you'd like). Nice lighting on the porch provides a great ambiance for evenings, and a great place to relax. Puzzles and games are available for quiet relaxation. We also have an antique piano available for the music lovers in your group. (Please use with care-no pounding please!). We clean and disinfect in accordance with current standards for your health and safety. There is plenty of clean fresh air and a breeze off the lake, ahh! Relax here and enjoy nature and it's beauty. The sandy beach front (depending on the water level in the lake) is ideal for swimming in the crystal clear water. A sand bar (mostly underwater) extends out for over 100 feet for shallow water swimming, perfect for small children. Swimming fun for all ages -some floats provided! Fishing, for small and large mouth bass, bluegill, perch, and others. Be sure to get your Michigan License and bait!! We have a live box in the lake so you can keep your catch fresh until you are ready to clean it and cook it. Boating, and other water sports are waiting for you at Guthrie Pines. Guthrie Lake is an ALL SPORTS lake. You can launch your boat at the Guthrie Lake Public Fishing Site.

The rowboat and canoe are also included with your stay. We have a Youth size stand up Paddle Board and a pedal boat available as well. What a fun way for kids to get good fresh air and exercise, and to see the lake! A nature trail winds through the forest on the 8 ½ acre site. Foot trails are marked for easy walking. A hand made oak bench at the fork in the path waits for a great rest with a scenic overlook of Black Bay. Relax on the glider bench that sits overlooking the water's edge with a drink, or enjoy a campfire in the lakeside fire-pit. Play croquet in our challenging lakeside, or woods-side yard course. The set is provided, just set it up and go! We have a nice 40' dock out into the lake for ease in boating and canoeing. NO DIVING PLEASE, it is just too shallow for that! It's so nice to relax on in the lake! From our cleaning and sanitation crew: " We at IBKLEAN want to help our guests feel even more comfortable this summer. Time at the lake is for relaxing, not worrying. We have been cleaning here for many years. In 2020 we began doing things different. The most important things are: 1) All staff will complete the Health Department required CDC paperwork before every clean. No one will work if they are not well. 2) Our staff will wear clean/new gloves, masks, and foot covers for every cleaning job. We will use new/ clean ( in hottest water possible) cleaning tools for every cleaning job. 3) We will use the recommended 2 step cleaning, then disinfecting process, allowing enough time for the disinfectant to work. 4) All laundry will be washed in the hottest water possible. Baskets will be disinfected regularly. 5) We will maintain a check list of this process We hope our commitment to everyone’s health and safety helps you feel at home. Thank you and have a wonderful time. " NO SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THIS PROPERTY. If any evidence of smoking on the property is found, it will result in an additional fee of $250.00\.

The Gaylord Chamber of commerce on Main Street has many brochures too. Grayling also boasts of Camp Grayling National Guard training facility. You may hear planes and/or choppers flying training missions near the lake, as the 'Range' is about a mile away. Sometimes artillery practice is heard, and sometimes we are treated to night sky flares. We are thankful for the training our National Guard receives near here to defend our country. There may be noise from some of the activity, but this training center offers no threat of danger to the lake property's residents. The fish don't mind either, they have heard it all their lives!

I have stayed at other places that don't even compare. We were here for 4 days and never ran out of anything and had more than we needed. It was a great get-a-way.

The cabin was cozy and had everything we could possibly need! The beds were comfortable and the living and kitchen spaces were perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. The views of the lake were amazing! We spent most of our time on the screened patio overlooking the lake or on the lake! We all had so much fun playing in the lake, swimming and kayaking. The host, Linda, was easy to get a hold of, accommodating to our needs and very friendly to work with! We will most definitely be back again!! ##### William K.

Love the history of the cabin and glad the children have preserved it. Nice wooded surroundings with trails and a small beach. Home is located right on the water. Very clear and shallow sand bottom lake. Seems very private even though there are neighbors. Anything you would need is in the cabin and available for your use. We had an amazing time this week. It was very relaxing! We rode bikes, walked, kayaked, read books and just enjoyed our time together. Highly recommend this home if you like a more rustic feel. Linda was easy to work with and very attentive to any questions we had. We would love to make a return visit in the future. ##### Terri F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh E.

We loved the privacy, the sandy bottom swimming area for the kids, the fire pit, the crystal clear lake, the views, the great fishing, loons, eagles and the cool military planes we had the pleasure of observing here and there. My wife, 2 small boys (6 & 2), in-laws (for a couple of days), our dog and I had plenty of space and everything we needed for the 6 of us. We enjoyed swimming & boating each day and fires each night. We brought our 18 foot boat and launched it at the public launch and left it at the dock all week. Super easy and convenient. Everything went smoothly and was 100% hassel free. We brought our people, our pet and our boat and did nothing but relax for an entire week. We highly recommend Guthrie Pines! Thank you! -Josh, Melita, Fisher & Knox ##### Josh E.

The location is very private and the cabin is a great size for a large family. It has pretty much everything you need. Not a far drive from Gaylord, Petoskey, or Traverse City. We had a great stay.
