One located out the back door of the chalet, and the other is a lake side deck that's great for soaking up the sun. We also have a fire pit, four kayaks and a paddle boat for your enjoyment. We are just minutes from Gaylord's downtown "Alpine Village" where you'll find shops, restaurants and summer/winter festivals. Gaylord is know as Michigan's golf mecca, and we are smack dab in the middle of the snow belt, so if your looking to hit the trails or the slopes you won't be disappointed! Great trails for hiking, Teetops Resort & Otsego Resort for skiing or golfing are all within 15 minutes of the Chalet.

It was difficult to keep the floors from getting so dirty because the area in front of the door was dirt sand. It would’ve been nicer to have more rocks there gravel so that you didn’t track so much sand and dirt in Dawn is a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful and in the summer I’m sure it’s delightful to spend time down at the lake. It was decorated beautifully, and the additional decorations for Christmas were very nice and very much appreciated. ##### Linda K. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy K.

No complaints, the place was clean with fresh towels and clean bedding. I was surprised at the lack of bugs and spider webs inside for being in the woods and on the lake. We enjoyed the paddle boat, fire pit and the wildlife on the lake. We even saw an eagle catch a fish. The internet and tv worked well and was necessary for us. We aren't golfers but still found plenty to do including the nature preserve minutes away and the elk park and restaurants in Gaylord. We also got to visit Oquecoc falls and the Little Oquecoc underground river which was about an hour away but well worth the drive. Otsego state park was a beautiful place to explore and go swimming as well. The chalet offered a relaxing place to stay with fun on the water and the ability to explore the northeastern lower peninsula. ##### Amy K.

Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nuture, fishing, relaxing From the moment we pulled into the driveway to walking down the walkway and going into the house all three of us we're going on and on about the unique layout and cozy atmosphere.We toured all through the chalet and checked everything out and still was just excited about seeing the uniqueness of it all! Cabin... meet Chalet and that equals COZYOH THAT LOFT and looking down.. Kinda like the UBER SOFT AND AWESOME beds.Head right out the back door you'll be on a AWESOME deck and what we loved, unlike a lot of lake houses, IT'S PRIVATE... and at night the lights are incredible!! Don't forget to turn them on before you head down. There as you walk the wide mowed path you'll meet Deck #2 with a cute table and four chairs and umbrella, if you choose.. and a just in front of you you'll see the four kayaks and paddleboat. We used the sit on kayaks and the paddleboat thru our 5 days. We fished off them and the docks and caught a ton of bass ( biggest one was over 3.4 lbs) and little perch and bluegill, all we did was catch and release.We played our own games and Star wars monopoly and cooked a lot inside and out; the large grill worked great. We ordered pizza from the restaurant 1.5 miles down.. yes, it's 30.00for a 12 inch but it's heavy and thick and amazing and totally worth it. If you need last minute anything, there's a Dollar General 1.5 miles away. Dawn was STELLAR at communication from the beginning. ( Thank you!) Our trip was in June average 70 degrees. ##### Dr. Tracy K. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerrica P.
