Property Description
Newly listed! Our home away from home in Northern Michigan is 15 miles west of Gaylord and is centrally situated to several great destinations for the entire family to enjoy. Located on a private and quiet double lot in beautiful Lakes of the North, its secluded location offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cabin has 4 bedrooms plus an overflow loft (sleeps 9), along with two full bathrooms. The kitchen is completely stocked to cook for an army if you’d like, along with a full size washer and dryer. After a long day of adventuring, enjoy the sauna and indoor hot tub, or warm up next to the fireplace. Outside there is plenty of space to park your trailers, plus a nice fire pit with plenty of wood to cook s’mores (cooking sticks provided). If you want to do a little shopping or dining, the Alpine Village of Gaylord is just a quick 15 minute drive and offers several great local restaurants. If you care to venture out a bit further, the cabin is centrally located, allowing you to easily make a day trip to some of the best resort towns in the state (Mackinac Island - 70 miles, Petoskey - 50 miles, Traverse City -50 miles). Looking for a home base for snowmobile or ATV riding? The cabin's proximity to Trail 4 makes it an ideal base for snowmobile or ATV enthusiasts, granting access to some of Northern Michigan's finest riding trails. Located in ‘the buckle’ of the Northern Michigan snowbelt, there is an average snowfall over 150 inches a year! Want to ski? Boyne Mountain – one of the largest ski resorts in Michigan – is less than 30 minutes away, and several smaller resorts are even closer. As part of LOTN there are several amenities available right in the neighborhood, including Deer Run Golf Course, Settings Restaurant, an outdoor ice skating rink and two swimming lakes with playgrounds. For an ADDITIONAL FEE, you can also access the community clubhouse with indoor pool slides, basketball courts, tennis courts, and pickleball. This home has been in our family for 20 years and has provided so many great memories. If you have any questions about the area or the home, don’t hesitate to ask! As this is a new listing, we are offering discounted rates for early renters who will work with us as we refine our renting procedures.

The cabin was amazing we all had an amazing stay if I had to make anything better it would be that the hot tub wouldn’t get hot and i couldn’t get in contact with the home owner to fix the problem. But other than that the stay was perfect!! Such a beautiful home and area

We had a great stay on our side by side getaway! The property and amenities were great and the location was perfect for trail access and other locations we wanted to see. Jay communicated everything very well and was responsive to any questions we had. Also plenty of parking for our trailers which is very hard to find. We will be back!!

Cute Cozy comfortable clean cabin We had a very enjoyable stay at Jay’s cabin in “Lakes of the North”. The beds were all very comfortable and house was very well taken care of. It has older decor wich made it feel very Nostalgic and reminded me of my childhood. Jay was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful place in Elmira.

Amazing, relaxing week Our large family arrived ready to relax and unwind, but I had trouble getting into the house. The owner responded immediately. The issue was mine -- I absolutely needed this wonderful weekend in the woods. The hot tub was perfect, the kitchen had everything we needed and the sitting area by Pencil Lake was quiet and private. We've rented properties in Northern Michigan for 25 years and this was one of the best. The house is close enough to all our favorite spots, while still feeling like it's nestled in the woods. My only complaint? The stick vacuum was filthy and although I tried, it needed more of a deep clean than I could provide. All in all, this was an amazing place to recharge.

The Up North cabin was very roomy and quite nice. We enjoyed some quality family time playing games, enjoying a bon fire, and spending a day on Mackinac Island. Jay responded quickly to questions and provided us with area information.
