The best lake experience! This lake cottage was perfect for our families Michigan lake getaway. It's located on Heart Lake which is a quiet private lake just on the edge of Gaylord. Tom was a gem of a host and made us feel so welcome! The cabin is comfortable and equipped with everything you need, but the true magic is from the private dock. There are paddle boards and kayaks to use complete with life vests and we could not get our boys off the lake. A perfect experience for us "out of towners" looking to live lake life for a few days.
This cottage was so beautiful and had everything we needed! The owners were amazing and communication with them was amazing! We stay up at Heart Lake every year for the last 8 years and we were so happy with this experience
Super cute âcottageâ on Heart Lake. The property was spotless and the hosts were very accommodating, asking us to make sure to contact them if we needed anything. We didnât need anything. Everything was already there at our fingertips. The weather was wonderful and we were able to make full use of the kayaks. Heart Lake is crystal clear and a pleasure to kayak on, as it has a no wake area and is quite quiet even in the area where a wake is allowed. Would highly recommend.
My wife & I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage. Everything we could need was provided, and the owners Tom & Lynette were friendly and responsive to any need.
The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and it was easy to find everything we needed, and everything we needed for, say, cooking, was readily available.
Loved sitting down by the water at the beginning and end of the day, and paddleboarding out on the lake was a real treat.
We loved our stay on Heart Lake! The cottage was clean, cute, comfy and stocked with everything we needed. Tom and Lynnette are so friendly and accomodating. We loved kayaking and paddleboarding every morning, swimming to the floating dock, having bonfires every night, and just enjoying the sheer beauty of the lake. So relaxing and enjoyable! Lots of great restaurants locally and a nice walking/bike path across the street for morning exercise. It was a great experience!
Great lakefront getaway for our family! The home was very clean and plenty of room for our family of five. Wonderful extras including a boat with an electric motor, kayaks as well as paddle boards for our use. Close proximity to golf and dining. Hosts were very hospitable and easily accessible. Would absolutely enjoy visiting again.
The Cottage was immaculate when we arrived. Check in process was so easy and the owners (Tom and Lynnette) couldn't have been nicer. My three boys loved the loft sleeping area and quickly took it over as their domain! They enjoyed played records on the record player. There was such a great variety from which to choose. We spent most days on the lake, fishing (wish there were more fish to catch), kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. The Cottage was very close to the town of Gaylord, which was convenient for grocery shopping and dining out. We enjoyed the bike path right across the street. The house was stocked with all the things you would need (and more!) to make your stay more enjoyable. The one thing that will stick in our minds is the unforgettable view from the deck and patio. Waking up to that every day was magical! Thank you, Tom and Lynnette for a great stay!
Great property from Tom and Lynette. The home was impecably clean, well appointed, and in a great location. The Iron Belle trail is just across the street, and an easy ride to Waters for dinner or ice cream. Everyone enjoyed the record collection and huge selection of board games in the loft. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time on Heart Lake. This property was set up wonderfully, plenty of room and it provided every necessity we could ask for. Our family enjoyed plenty of fishing, swimming, paddling, and soaking up the last of summer's sunshine. What a perfect get away!
We had a fantastic time at The Cottage! Tom and Lynnette are great hosts - super helpful and responsive to our questions. The house is extremely well appointed with every amenity necessary. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked, plenty of linens and towels. Beds are comfortable. The huge book collection was a welcome bonus for our kids, and the record collection was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board every day and had a great bonfire in the fire pit. In the area, we enjoyed Roscommon Zoo and Coopersville, but we also had a great full day just staying at the house on the lake, boating and swimming! We would definitely return to this great property!
My sisters, Mom and I booked this darling cottage for an annual girls trip and had so much fun! The cottage was super cute and clean, in a fantastic location on quiet Heart Lake! The hosts were wonderful, thoughtful and accommodating and we couldnât have asked for a better experience! Thanks, Lynette & Tom:)
7 of us stayed for mini girls weekend. House was as described and very well stocked. Very clean inside . Owners took care of anything we inquired about and was always a text away. Highly recommend getting a massage with Lynette. She was awesome and it was so relaxing. Only thing I would recommend is a tv in bedroom. we had great weather and was able to use all the kayaks and paddle board. Thanks for everything Tom and Lynette. Hope to see you again in the near future.
Wonderful location. Great cottage for little kids with the shallow water depth 20 yards off shore. Super clean property inside and out. Wonderful floor plan for kids with the loft and beds upstairs. Hosts were very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend and would stay again.
Loved the property, lots of activities for kids and teens, very comfortable venue. All our teens asked how we found such a great place to stay. Loved every moment.
Our family had a great long weekend at Lynnette and Tomâs home on Heart Lake! We swam, did cannon balls off the raft, kayaked, paddle boarded, hiked, barbecued, played cards and fished!:-)
The house, location, and amenities were exactly as described. The house was very clean and well maintained. We've rented cottages in the past and this one was the most up to date, clean, and comfortable. The house provided everything we needed for our week stay. The kids had a great time in the water and we all enjoyed the kayaks, row boat, and paddle board. We even rented a pontoon boat on our hottest day. The lake isn't very large which means it was never too busy.
Caught my largest Large Mouth Bass ever and several nice trout. Great kayaking and fishing lake. Cottage and owners were lovely people and the place was perfect!
What a beautiful property! The place was extremely clean, comfortable, close enough to restaurants and shops and had great amenities. Lynette was very accommodating, kind and helpful. My cousins and I enjoyed the peaceful and gorgeous setting, the fire pit and kayaks on the quiet lake. The beds were comfortable and clean. Thank you so much for having us, we will most definitely look into booking again!
Clean property with plenty of room for our family of five. Kayaks, paddle board, and row boat for water activities. Great location - only 10 minutes from Gaylord for restaurants and shopping. Hosts were communicative and responsive. Will stay there again!
