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.

Anniversary weekend

The cabin was centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit: Charlevoix, Petosky, Our family had a great time and loved that everyone had their own rooms. The weather was chilly but that certainly wasn’t the host’s fault … we were thankful for a fireplace.

Family Weekend Away

Our family enjoys a weekend away each winter and we look for a place with lots of bedrooms and at least two bathrooms. This place had what we needed with the extras such as the hot tub and sauna and use of the community pool. Not only did we enjoy our time together but also all the amenities that came with it. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Gaylord is not far away so we spent time there as well. This place was just what we needed.

The Bubps

Very nice spacious home for large family, great hot tub for those sore muscles after long days ride. Little out in the boonies but definitely doable riding sleds on the roads to the trails. Parking was good for the most part, especially with two large sled trailers. Hope to return on another trip soon.

Like visiting close friends

This home is warm and welcoming. We felt like we had been here many times before. The location is perfect as a home base for various outdoor activities. Or just a quiet weekend to unplug and enjoy family. My wife and I are already talking about future trips to this home during different seasons.

The property is so peaceful and beautiful! This is a property well loved by its owner. I think they are new to renting out their home and have a few things to update and work on. That being said, we did not lack for anything and had a good stay

The house was super clean and extremely well stocked. Anything you needed could be found and it was perfect for our annual family trip. Jay was a great communicator and the property itself had plenty for our group to do - including fishing at the lakes and swimming at the clubhouse pool. We would definitely suggest this place to others looking for a place to stay!
