Spring break
We stayed here for two nights for a short spring staycation. The house had more than enough room for our family and had games and books for the kids. We really enjoyed the pool area at the clubhouse too. The house was very clean and well maintained and communication was great.

Home away from home
I normally dont write reviews, and was hesitant to write one on this vacation home. However, my hesitancy was due to wanting to keep this awesome house a secret in case we want to book again! We went hiking, sledding, had bonfires outside roasting smores, and then warmed up inside by the fire without having to leave the property. Kids had ping ping, pool table, video games and board games to keep them busy when the adults wanted some down time. A great place to get away and remind us of family, friends and the simple life. Also had access to the clubhouse with pool and hot tub, but think we could have just stayed at the house. Seems like the owner truly cares about this rental and the people who stay in his home. Hope to go back soon!

Family snowmobile trip
Brought a group of families up for a long weekend of Snowmobiling. The house and property was great for entertaining kids There is a hill to sled down out back. The games in the basement were wonderful. Cabin is only a few minutes away from the clubhouse to go swimming. The loft area works out great for all the kids to sleep at as well. We all loved our stay

Quiet Getaway
Myself and a group of friends stayed here early December. The beds were cozy, the cabin was kept up, the carpet in the basement seemed newer and clean, all appliances worked well. We were happy with our stay. The surrounding area is quiet, safe, and peaceful. The property owner was very communicative and helpful. The only reason I give 4 stars is the fact that the clubhouse closed for the weekend we traveled, and some minor sanitary issues. The kitchen is also small for the amount of people the cabin accommodated. I definitely recommend staying here and I am looking forward to coming back to this area in the summer time!

About the host

Hosted by Vince Iafrate

Host profile image
Vince built this cabin with a friend approximately 20 years ago. He used it originally as a snowmobiling cabin when he was single. Vince married Liz 10 years ago and now enjoys this cabin with his wife and children. The kids love coming here for long weekends because there is so much to do in the area!! The Lakes of the North pool is the kids' favorite activity, especially since the new clubhouse opened this past year! In the summer we love to visit all of the nearby lakes!! In the winter we all love to ski at Boyne Mountain Resort!

Why they chose this property

Lakes of the North is a 5 mile long wooded community with large lots. You can get away Up North into the woods, yet have all modern amenities nearby. Our chalet has two bedrooms on the main floor, a bedroom in the walkout level, and a large loft with 4 full-sized beds!
We pride ourselves on our cleanliness!! We use this chalet ourselves and have very high standards.

You will not run out of things to do! We love how the the chalet is only 15 minutes away from Gaylord and 30 minutes away from Boyne and Charlevoix, approx 45 minutes away from Traverse City, 90 minutes away from Mackinac Island. Otsego Lake State Park is only about 20 minutes away.
