Horn HideAway is a peaceful retreat just outside of Gaylord, Mi. The space With Gaylord 15 minutes down the road and Lake Louise around the block, this is a great destination for summer! Grab some fishing poles and head to the playground or boat launch. Help yourself to some lawn games for family fun! The Gaylord Snowmobile trails can be ridden to in a couple minutes directly from the cottage. A great place to eat is Paul's Pub in Johannesburg, snowmobilers welcome! The Horn HideAway features 2 bedrooms and a loft space. The "Captain's Quarters" has a queen bed, closet for storing your items and a cabinet with games/books. The large loft accommodates a queen and double bed with a dedicated workspace, including an extra monitor. We affectionately call this the “Bird’s Nest”, since you can see down to the living and dining rooms. The kitchen has been completely updated within the last year and includes a new stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. A bar extends from the wall in the kitchen and accommodates 2 bar stools adjacent to the dining room table. Small kitchen appliances include coffee pot, crockpot, waffle maker, electric knife, electric mixer and griddle. TV works and cell service is good. Just upgraded to TrueStream internet, so much faster and better than our previous wireless! We have a huge collection of DVDs to watch including many WWII movies, thanks to Grandpa Chuck! We also keep a PlayStation 2 with some games; an oldie, but goody! Guest access Guests have access to the entire cottage. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
