It was winter so the neighborhood was quiet. We had a beautiful view of the lake and drove to the other side to see the pretty sunset. It was close to Gaylord so if you needed anything it was right there! We had great communication with the owners so that was a giant plus! The house was pretty well stocked but don't forget your beach towels! Over all we would definitely go back! ##### Noel W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arthur K. Oct 6, 2018 #### Completely stocked cozy lakeside home. We had a relaxing week at this comfortable lakeside home. It was very clean with everything we needed. Too cool for water sports, but kayaks were available if it warmed up. Sandy beach and dock were available for a boat which could be rented at reasonable rates locally. The only improvement could be an update of the mattresses. Otherwise, very nice accommodations and overall environment. We look forward to our next stay. ##### Arthur K. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia A. Sep 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved our time at Otsego Lake The property was very nice and clean. We loved the hot tub and rides in the paddle boat. My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock even though we soon learned that the lake wasn't great for fishing as it was very shallow. Great location, only an hour drive to different tourist spots, like Petoskey, traverse city, and Mackinac. Dorene was a great host and she had great communication and was very accommodating when we had an issue with the dishwasher. The only thing I'd suggest is allowing for shorter minimum night stays, 7 nights was a little too long for us. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay! ##### Alicia A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 21, 2018 #### Very nice! There is only 1 item I would like to see updated. The sofa bed is functional but is hard to set up and put away. We slept on the sofa bed one night but we did have a air mattress and used that the other two. The positives far out way the negatives. I would recommend this place to anyone. Dorene is very easy to work with and the place was nice and clean when we arrived. I will not hesitate to stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### danielle K., Three Rivers Dec 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Rental!!!! We will definitely be repeat guests. Between the price, amenities, cleanliness and customer experience with Doreen, this was hands down one of the best rentals I’ve encountered in the last 10 years of renting. We look forward to returning in the summer. The Gaylord area is beautiful and full of activities. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality! ##### danielle K.

The beach was okay, but not what I would call "fluffy sand." The bottom of the lake was pretty mucky and hard for the kids to enjoy. Overall, it was a good place to stay. ##### Sally N.

The property was exactly as described and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub worked well and most importantly was very clean. Plenty of room to park our boat in the driveway. Dorene was a wonderful host and provided clear instructions and great advise on local things to check out. I definitely recommend to anyone to stay at Serenity cabin ##### Brandon W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loretta R.
