The Beach Haus was perfect for my needs. Spacious living, dining area. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed for meal preparation. The glassed area facing the lake was, for me, a real bonus. There is plenty of closet space and while the bedrooms are a little small, they are furnished and decorated nicely.

We loved the place even if it was a short time! We will want to come back.
lovely cottage-truly everything you need included! comfy beds, lots of everything, shaded beautiful view and close to everything Gaylord has to offer. Communication with Dorene was a breeze and we look forward to staying at another one of her properties!
The property had a beautiful view of the fall colors across the lake, the hot tub was wonderful, the area is very peaceful. We will come next time when the dock available for better fishing. The paddle boat was a joy. House had everything we needed.
Very nice place to spend a week. Everything worked well, nIce bathroom, all kitchen appliances and silverware supplied, Beach was small and lake was a bit mucky. The large couch could use an upgrade soon. Everything else was great and we had a wonderful time. We would go there again.

Disliked: Check-in
TLC Required throughout the Cottage.
Check-In was Fine.Kitchen was acceptable.Dock needs new boards. Shower Doors should be replaced. Steps to Dock are Treacherous needs another step or a Handrail.Cottage floor East to West is like a Trampoline and the Grill is a DISASTER - take it to the Dump
We really enjoyed using the hot tub and building fires in the wood burning stove. It was winter so the neighborhood was quiet. We had a beautiful view of the lake and drove to the other side to see the pretty sunset. It was close to Gaylord so if you needed anything it was right there! We had great communication with the owners so that was a giant plus! The house was pretty well stocked but don't forget your beach towels! Over all we would definitely go back!

Completely stocked cozy lakeside home.
We had a relaxing week at this comfortable lakeside home. It was very clean with everything we needed. Too cool for water sports, but kayaks were available if it warmed up. Sandy beach and dock were available for a boat which could be rented at reasonable rates locally. The only improvement could be an update of the mattresses. Otherwise, very nice accommodations and overall environment. We look forward to our next stay.
The property was very nice and clean. We loved the hot tub and rides in the paddle boat. My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock even though we soon learned that the lake wasn't great for fishing as it was very shallow. Great location, only an hour drive to different tourist spots, like Petoskey, traverse city, and Mackinac. Dorene was a great host and she had great communication and was very accommodating when we had an issue with the dishwasher. The only thing I'd suggest is allowing for shorter minimum night stays, 7 nights was a little too long for us. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

Very nice!
There is only 1 item I would like to see updated. The sofa bed is functional but is hard to set up and put away. We slept on the sofa bed one night but we did have a air mattress and used that the other two. The positives far out way the negatives. I would recommend this place to anyone. Dorene is very easy to work with and the place was nice and clean when we arrived. I will not hesitate to stay here again.
We will definitely be repeat guests. Between the price, amenities, cleanliness and customer experience with Doreen, this was hands down one of the best rentals I’ve encountered in the last 10 years of renting. We look forward to returning in the summer. The Gaylord area is beautiful and full of activities. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality!
Everything was as expected the hosts really have thought of everything you need.
This is a 3rd time i have rented from thebproperty manager and all have been EXCELLENT! We will continue to be return custmers. They make everything so easy.
Very cute cabin that was well equipped. The beach was okay, but not what I would call "fluffy sand." The bottom of the lake was pretty mucky and hard for the kids to enjoy. Overall, it was a good place to stay.
Our stay was great! The property was exactly as described and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub worked well and most importantly was very clean. Plenty of room to park our boat in the driveway. Dorene was a wonderful host and provided clear instructions and great advise on local things to check out. I definitely recommend to anyone to stay at Serenity cabin
We had a great time at this property. The house is updated, clean and the views are breathtaking. We enjoyed the water, we boated, fished & ,kayaked. , The host was very accommodating. Great place for a vacation.!
