This property is newly updated with Mid Century Modern flair and ready to hold your favorite travel memories. It boasts luxury furniture, hot tub, a dock for your boat, a kayak, and thoughtful amenities. Just an hour away from Traverse City and Mackinac Island. You and your group are guaranteed a great time choosing this cottage to be your home away from home. The space This property is newly renovated specifically with our guests in mind. Each bedroom includes new mattresses, extra blankets and pillows for comfort. All bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds, so you can sleep in and relax on vacation! The television in the house is a roku TV, so you can sign into any streaming service you desire. The kitchen is fully stocked with baking sheets, crock pots, pots and pans, cutting boards, an air fryer, waffle iron, cocktail tools, and double walled stainless steel wine tumblers for every person in your party so you can enjoy your drinks while in the hot tub. There is a large patio/deck out back - with a large propane grill for family feasts, and a brand new hot tub for you to unwind in. The cottage also has a private dock for you to use, bring your boat or rent one in town! The Lake & Pool: Lake Arrowhead encompasses private all-sports Buhl lake, available to homeowners and their guests! There is a boat launch and swim area with raft a block away. There is also a park with a heated pool (open Memorial day through Labor Day Weekend), pavilion with fireplace and a basketball/pickle ball court. Bring your fishing poles, rackets, jet skis and boat & have a ball! Things to do: Here is a site to show you all that our community has to offer https://www.lapoa.com/meetings-news-events/#events-meetings Day Trips: A little over an hour away from Traverse City, Mackinac Island and Petoskey. Coming in the fall? Don't miss out on the Tunnel of Trees less than an hour away. Skiing: We are 30 minutes from Boyne Mountain and 1 Hour from Boyne Highlands, Tree Tops is also right in town. Get your thrills going downhill on some of Michigans best hills and then come back to relax in the hot tub. Golf: With 17 golf courses, which include world-class resorts and championship golf designed by some of America’s top golf course designers, the Gaylord area is your dream golf destination. Snowmobile: Call it geographical luck or a blessing from the Snow Gods, but Gaylord, Michigan’s got dibs on the sweetest snowmobiling in the state. Our dead-center position in the tip of the mitt means the sky above blows in big – no, make that behemoth-blizzards of lake-effect snowfall all winter long, plus the city sits in the middle of a snowmobile network that runs more than 500 miles across eight counties. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! You can ride right out your door from this cottage! Elk Viewing: The Pigeon River Country State Forest’s expansive 114,000 acres offers a unique wilderness experience that is just a short drive from downtown Gaylord. Home to one of the largest free-ranging elk herds east of the Mississippi, the Department of Natural Resources maintains this flourishing elk habitat through careful forest and wildlife management. You can view the elk year round but September through October are normally the best months. Guest access Front door has a keyless touchscreen lock. Code will be given before check-in. While property and neighborhood are located on dirt roads, you should have no problem accessing the house. There is room to park 2 cars in front of the house and overflow parking at the neighborhood pool. Should we have a heavy snow, four-wheel drive or all wheel drive is highly recommended. Other things to note Cell Service/Wi-fi: Cell service is poor in the neighborhood (T-Mobile/Sprint tend to work best) – this is a remote retreat so you can totally unplug if you want to, but wi-fi is available at the cottage and can support wifi calling/facetime! The pool and lake area also has free guest wifi. Critters: We are close to town and have all the modern amenities but are still in a very rural, heavily wooded area. Deer, Bear, Chipmunks, Mice, Spiders, Ants and Mosquitos are around in the neighborhood. Be aware that propping open doors can let unwanted critters in, especially in the fall and winter when they are looking for a warm place to stay. Cameras: There are two exterior security cameras on the property. One facing the back deck and one ring doorbell on the front door (this is in view of the hot tub) . These are for us to verify cleaners and maintenance have prepared the property for your stay! Covering the ring doorbell with a towel is permitted when using the Hot Tub. Location: We are about 15-20 minutes from the nearest grocery store, I always recommend stoping to stock up before you make your way to the cottage. In winter months, four-wheel drive or all wheel drive is \*strongly\* recommended. We are not responsible for damage caused to vehicles by guests who arrive in non-4WD/AWD vehicles, nor provide refunds to any parties that cannot check in because they didn't bring a 4WD/AWD vehicle. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Streaming services - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Heated pool - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Security system ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Checkout is 10:00am ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total (up to 23 kg per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
