Cozy cabin

Lovely A frame in great location. Driving distance to the west-Petosky, Ludington, to the east- Alpena, to the north-Mackinaw Island and Sault Ste Marie. We’ve stayed twice and highly recommend. If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’ll be in heaven right in Gaylord. We loved the elk viewing park too.

Perfect cozy cabin

The cabin was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The host supplied everything we needed. We couldn't have picked a better location. We wanted privacy and a place where we could stay with our dog. The cabin was within comfortable driving distance to the places we wanted to see. We would highly recommend this location.

SKI BUM vacation!

Spent 3 nights at the cute A-Frame cabin. Both queen beds are comfortable and linen was clean. Boyne Mountain is a 30 min drive and Otsego Resort is a 10 min drive. The kitchen is adequate to cook basic meals. Very cozy and we enjoyed are time spent playing cards at the dining table.

Lovely A frame

Location was perfect for seeing northern Michigan sights. Alpine Gaylord is a beautiful and clean town and friendly. Square footage of cabin is cozy. Furniture and cabinetry could use some updating but it is in a lovely setting. Close to a road but traffic quiets down in early evening. We would love to come back and rent again. Thanks Morgan.

Cozy Cabin

This cabin is situated near everything! We skied at Otsego, just 8 minutes up the road. The cabin is small, but very cozy. The bedroom, loft and pullout bed fit our family of 4. I think there may have been an issue with cleaning prior to our arrival. There were 1/2 drank water bottles in the bedroom, and some old food in the sink. We were able to clean it up and enjoyed our stay.
