Close to Nature, Beaches, Hiking, Golf, Ski & Downtown

This A frame is built with character, sure to give you an experience during you stay. Whether that is a celebration or spending some time away from life's stresses. When you book with me you will get a relaxing getaway leaving you feeling refreshed, motivated, and inspired.

the cabin is minutes from snowmobiling, hiking, golfing, ski resorts, & Downtown Gaylord. More details on activities in the Welcome Binder.

The cabins large U shape driveway perfect for hauling snowmobiles and trailers!

Check in and out is completely CONTACT FREE. We also have an AirPurifier running that you can adjust for you comfortability. We provide top cleaning services with tons of experience so you can feel as at ease and comfortable as possible.

The Gaylord area is small, relaxing, and has the charm of a slower pace of life. It is a great area for a relaxing outdoorsy vacation or flexcatation, if you're looking for a place to work, play, and relax. There is really something for everyone whether that is hanging out at the beach at one of our many lakes and rivers in the area or going hiking and later trying out some good food and drinks.

The cabin is equipped with movies, little games, a puzzle, and books. It has a firepit in the back yard that is surrounded with nature and a great yard for your pet to play. So even if you just want to chill at the cabin you won't be bored.

This cabin is quaint, but near many of the major attractions and amenities Gaylord has to offer. You get the best of both worlds.

Cute get away
The cabin is super cute and tine, perfect for a quick little get away. It is right off the road, but the back area is pretty covered by the trees so still a little private. Had the basic necessities and is very cozy!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We drove up from Fl for a 90th birthday party. The location of the cabin was perfect as my uncle lives just down the road. The cabin was in good shape, cute and just right for 3 people. Would be tight for more than 3. Cabin was well equipped had everything we needed.

Disappointed
I was disappointed in the condition of the property. I could see the owner is trying by painting and curtains. Bathroom and Kitchen both need new counters, sinks, range/stove and refrigerator. The property is somewhat run down.
