My husband, John and I truly love everything Up North offers from Lake living, trail riding, hiking, boating to Snowmobiling as this area defines the word Vacationland plus the clean air and stars in the sky are so vibrant!

The homes which we offer are our own personal paradises which we stay at as much as possible.

We love sharing our Vacation Homes to create memories with their families just as we have as well as give you an experience living in the area which you will never forget. All the homes are strictly set up for the Vacationer in mind and all in highly desirable areas with so many different type of activities imaginable for any age group. The homes which we offer have amenities which everyone needs (like me!!!) such as Wi-Fi, Cable TV, Air Conditioning, updated bathrooms and kitchens plus kayaks to use with each and every lake front home, some homes having also canoes and Paddle boats and all the homes have their own private Outdoor Hot Tub usable all year 'round which are all Pet Friendly (fee posted in house rules) as our four-legged family members love it Up North too as you won't have to kennel or have someone watch your pet.

Hope to have you stay!

With a unique location on the 45 parallel, the Alpine Village of Gaylord is truly Northern Michigan's heart. Whether planning to travel to Gaylord for the first visit or your 31st, we know that you will be back again and again. Gaylord is unique in its centrality - only minutes from everything you could hope for in the north and things you might not expect either, like top-notch shopping, galleries, arts, music festivals & wireless internet access you can use while relaxing on one of the park benches downtown or at Serenity.

Golf
With 21 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.

Hiking
Experience all that is Northern Michigan along one of the many trails in Otsego County used for hiking, biking, x-country skiing and snowshoeing. The area abounds with pathways for outdoor enthusiasts of every skill and age level, and all are free to use with no trail passes required.

Ski & Snowshoe
In Gaylord you'll find the gently sloping terrain, heavily wooded forests and deep annual snowfall ideal for Nordic skiing. It is also not uncommon to see plentiful wildlife out on the trail.

Snowmobile
Located in the center of Northern Lower Michigan's Snow Belt, the Gaylord area averages over 180 inches of the white stuff annually. Surrounded by rolling hills, thousand of acres of unspoiled forests and numerous winter activities, Gaylord is quickly emerging as a preferred winter destination.

Elk Viewing
The Pigeon River State Forest’s expansive 105,000 acres with the Midwest’s only free ranging elk herd offers a unique wilderness experience that is just a short drive from downtown Gaylord. The Department of Natural Resources maintains this excellent elk habitat through careful forest and wildlife management or you can view elk herd behind Jay's Sporting goods!
