House was better than expected, we have been on three snowmobile trips this year and this was the best house we have stayed in. Wish the towns in Michigan were as friendly to Snowmobilers as Wisconsin or the U.P. Is so we would book this house again in a minute!

Great cottage in Lakes of the North right on the snowmobile trail. The cottage and heated garage were exactly as advertised. Four adults enjoyed our 3 night stay with plenty of space & everything needed for cooking meals and hanging out between rides. Everyone agreed the beds were comfortable.
