Thank you! maybe the blackout curtains are just perfect for a good night’s sleep. This area occasionally experiences power outages due to the remote location of the Lake of the North community. This happens 3-4 times a year and may affect both electricity and internet services during those times.

We loved the stay!

Everything was really excellent! We used th kitchen and there was all the equipment we needed for us to eat and drink. We would love to stay longer for one more day but, the house was already booked and we couldnt stay longer. Overall, the house was really nice and we recommend for other people to stay here too!

A wonderful country getaway

The host is very accommodating and quick with communication. The cabinet was so cozy, and comfortable. My wife said it was cute and quaint. My teenage daughter just loved it. The large fenced in backyard made it so convenient for traveling with dogs. The beds were comfortable, and I had everything we needed or wanted, the record player was so nostalgic we had to go and buy one after staying there. Would give six stars if possible. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay

2nd time staying and we are coming back next month to stay a full week. Clean and comfortable and absolutely love the large deck and fire table and lights made for a romantic anniversary getaway. Can’t wait for our full week stay with the kids in July. We finally found our new favorite spot!

Fall color tour

Great place to stay, clean and nice. We went to the clubhouse to use the pool and had our guest application. We were charged a fee to enter the pool, this was not disclosed in the booking description. We paid the fee but this was rather disappointing it was in the description prior to booking.

Lakes Of The North Stay

Amazing time staying at Jason’s cabin. Located close to ski resorts, Jordan River Pathway that had amazing hiking, and the pool access provided with the cabin was perfect for our boys. We would definitely recommend for people who like to get out and adventure or kick back and relax and enjoy nature.

3rd visit

This was our 3rd time visiting this property and our first time staying a full week. We were blessed with great weather and swam at both beaches but pencil beach was our favorite even though it’s smaller but the water is beautiful! We did a day at the pool and many days on the trails. Our dog loved the early morning walks on the nearby trail! House is always clean and welcoming, the deck is my favorite spot by the fire table. We plan to come back 😊

Mancelona Snowmobiling trip

Absolutely had a great time, the cabin was perfect. The trail systems run right behind our location, and got us out on the main trails in a matter of min’s. Setting restaurant was decent with a full bar, and regular food, not just bar food. I will be booking again.

Very Nice Place

Spent a week at Jason's place mid July. Was a work trip, but familiar with the area and wanted a change from life in Ft. Lauderdale. Jason was responsive for questions, place was immaculate, and property was very nice, quiet and secluded. If you are looking for this sort of place, this would be a great one to consider.

Grandchildren loved the stay

We traveled with our 4 grandchildren. Our grandchildren loved the cabin, as did my wife and I. The location is remote and quiet. The clubhouse and pool was a big hit with the kids. It's a great pool and hot tub. Jason was very responsive to our inquiries and any concerns that we had. The WiFi and TV were great. The check in and check out procedures were simple and easy to follow. We would stay here again!

Great location for outdoor fun

Great location, with access to hiking, swimming, small towns, etc. in Northern Michigan. House is fairly small but suited our family of 5 well. Back yard and deck are terrific. And the owner is nice and easy to communicate with. Only complaint is the house is very sparse. No toiletries, very little in terms of kitchen/cooking supplies, etc. Several parts of the house inside and out are showing some wear, but nothing too bad. And the shower often soaks the bathroom floor when someone uses it; you have to be very careful, and often dry up the floor afterward. Also, when we were there, the indoor pool had been drained and closed but we had no idea when we booked. The place is good (and location is great). Just recommend stocking it and giving it a little TLC for renters.

Wonderful Stay

Jason's cottage is clean, comfortable, and quiet - all the things I look for and appreciate when traveling. Modern tech amenities (for remote working) and fun decor were a definite plus. I travel solo with one of my pups, and the fenced-in back yard was perfect. At night the solar lights out in the yard beyond the fence amid the tall trees turned the area into a fairy land! It's a lovely 25 minute drive to Gaylord or Mancelona if you want supplies or are looking for lots of stuff to do. I've been VRBOing for 20+ years - this was one of my favorite places. Thanks, Jason, for sharing!
