Located steps away from the all sport lake, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Johannesburg house can’t be beat! Enjoy the fall colors of Northern Michigan by sitting on the cottage deck, walking the sandy beach, or shopping in Gaylord or Lewiston. Winter brings snow, so hit the snowmobile trails that sit within minutes of the vacation rental. Snowshoeing, skiing, and tubing await the snow bunnies of the group. During the summer, enjoy the sandy beach, swimming, kayaking, golfing, sunrises and sunsets.

We had 5 kids ages (almost) 3-16 and 6 adults stay in the house. It's so very spacious! We never felt on top of each other. During down time the kids hung out int the game room and adults occupied the dining room playing cards. The bunk room allowed for all kids to have their own bed, which was perfect.
Very very short walk to the lake which was great for the kids to play in for hours on end. We all tried out kyaking and paddle boarding with the provided equipment.
The front porch with the picnic table provided plenty of extra space for dinner.
It was a great place to all hang out and chill for a few days. We would definitely consider this same place for future trips.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin accommodated our family of 11 and even had room for a couple more. The house was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Having the game room was nice for the grandkids to play in. It was a short walk to the lake with a small beach for the kids to play on. The location was good too;You are between Lewiston and Gaylord. It would also be a great place for a winter vacation too. I highly recommend the place.

Lots of room to spread out or congregate with family and friends.

The home was much nicer than described. We had lots of space for all to be comfortable. Everything we needed was there. There were eight of us. I didn't hear a single complaint.

The house was spacious and adequate for 3 families of 11 people. The pool table was perfect; it became the central gathering spot. We were grateful to find the kayak and paddle board in the garage. They were a good compliment to the water craft we brought. (Had we known they would be available, we might have changed what we brought.) (Both seats in the kayak are badly torn and need to be replaced.) The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals for our crew. (The kitchen knives are so dull, using them was almost dangerous.) We were thankful to find fishing gear in the garage, and caught a fish! We could have used one more kitchen trash bag, and one more dishwasher pod. Thank you for opening your home, we had a delightful time and fell in love with MI.
