The David w/ Private Screened Porch & Fire Pit

Looking for a getaway in Michigan's? Our 'The David' is newly re-decorated, one-acre wooded retreat that's one of Up North's newest vacation homes!

The welcoming, screened porch leads to a keyless entry, revealing this ranch's delightful blend of woodsy charm and modern touches. The living room provides a neutral sleeper sofa, a large Smart TV, and gas fireplace.


Here are step-by-step instructions on how to turn it on the gas fireplace:

•Safety First: Before attempting to light the fireplace, make sure the area around the fireplace is clear of any flammable materials, and ensure there is proper ventilation in the room.
•Locate the Gas Valve: Find the gas valve for the fireplace. This is typically located either inside the fireplace itself or in close proximity. The gas valve is a knob that you'll need to turn to allow gas flow to the fireplace.
•Turn the Gas Valve to "On": Rotate the gas valve knob to the "On" position. This will allow gas to flow to the fireplace, but the flame is not ignited yet.
•Access the Ignition System: You mentioned a red button on the bottom panel, which is likely the ignition button. This button is used to create a spark that will ignite the gas.
•Press the Ignition Button: Press the red ignition button a few times while observing the pilot light area. The pilot light is a small flame that should ignite when you press the button. It may take a few attempts for the pilot light to catch, so be patient.
•Pilot Light Ignition: Once the pilot light ignites, keep holding the ignition button for about 30 seconds. This allows the thermocouple to heat up and signal that it's safe to release the button.
•Release the Ignition Button: After about 30 seconds, release the ignition button. The pilot light should continue to burn. If it goes out, you may need to repeat the ignition process.
•Adjust the Flame: Once the pilot light is burning steadily, you can turn the gas valve to adjust the flame height and intensity to your desired level.
•Enjoy the Fireplace: With the pilot light burning, you can now enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your fireplace. Be sure to turn off the gas valve when you're done using the fireplace to ensure safety.

2 day getaway
The David was clean and had a kitchen that was well-stocked with dishes/pans/appliances etc. It had a cozy living and dining area and was filled with other fun items. The best thing was the prompt and helpful communication from the hosts. Also, we hadn't brought any newspaper to start our campfire, but they had firestarters available in the shed. 😀 It was perfect for 2 couples!

Gaylord trip
First trip to this part of Michigan, came for a wedding. Weather was warmer than anticipated, despite a bit a light rain some days. Easy to find the house, even at night. Comfy lodgings, though could have used some improved interior lighting. Wished we had more time to enjoy the backyard and fire pit, but it was a busy time for us.

Cute little house of Davids
We only stayed for 2 nights as a break on our drive up to the U.P. we loved the screened in porch; my toddler loved to run back and forth. My older boys (12 &14) loved all the outdoor toys in the shed. The theme of all the Davids in the house was fun. We could've used more blankets; the blankets on the beds were quite thin and we didnt find any more anywhere. The Ostego Lake nearby was very nice also.
