Big Lake Cabin with Hot Tub/ Kayaks/ Ping Pong/ Cable
The "Sunshine Cabin" enjoys ample natural sun year around from its lofty position up in the trees. The large picture window overlooking Big Lake provides a birds eye view of both the canopy and lake. This 81’ deep lake has an island and home to many types of fish that's why we brought fishing/recreational kayaks for our guests. The boat launch access is just 1.6 miles from the sunshine cabin. The cabin is secluded on 1.45 acres of trees. This listing is all about the experience.

Fabulous cabin in the woods.
I would give this a excellent rating. It was super clean, and well decorated. It was very organized. The hot tub was very clean, and the area it was in was very well heated.
Each room hss a separate thermostat so you can control each room to your comfort level. Plenty of towels, plus there was coffee, and a cocoa bar. It was decorated for the holiday. It was very peaceful and quiet, but I didn't feel.secluded. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of parking. Plow came in a very timely manner to plow and shovel the snow that had fallen. I would highly recommend this place. It was within 5 miles to two ski resorts plus Gaylord.

Great Getaway
My wife and I and our 2 dogs had a great time at this splendid property. The ownership was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The property is well stocked with most anything you would need and then some. Amongst the trees, the natural views are impressive. On a nightly basis, we had barred owls calling all around us, and you could hear the loons on the lake in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. This is truly a great place to step away for a few days or a week. Will be back.

Had fun without the snow
My family of five (kids 12, 10, and 7) had a great time here. We didn't have much snow. But we were more than happy playing ping pong and enjoying the hot tub. They especially liked the hot cocoa bar. Everything was as shown in the photos and well kept. Very satisfied.

Adorable cabin quiet area
The cabin was very clean and close to the lake. It was very close to the shopping in Gaylord, yet you felt you were more in the country. The cabin had a very nice garage area that they made into a recreational area which my family loved the ping pong table and the hot tub!! They also had kayaks available. They even had beds for our fur babies!! They had an adorable Coffee bar that had flavored syrups. They had many nice extras you normally do not see in a cabin rental. I would highly recommend this cabin to friends and family.

The best stay!
We had one of the best experiences on this stay that we’ve ever had. From the beginning, our hosts were great with responses and communication. We were able to get to our 20th anniversary getaway easily and in the door with no problems. The neighborhood was very pretty and quiet with almost no traffic going past. We had our 2 dogs and took many walks and I think we saw one car going past. The city of Gaylord is very close by so if you forgot something, you can just run out and get what you need easily. The whole place was immaculately clean and lovely upon entering. We had several days of kid free time (although our teens would have really liked it there too, it was lovely) so we opted to cook every meal there. The kitchen was delightfully and perfectly stocked, from cooking supplies, all the spices, you name it, they had it! They had a complete coffee, tea and hot chocolate bar that rivaled Starbucks (along with chocolates!). The bed was cozy and inviting, the indoor hot tub was well maintained and a great temperature, complete with towels and robe right at hand. The huge screen TV had a great cable package. Even the two dog mattresses were top-notch. You simply cannot find a nicer quality place to stay for the value. We give them 2 thumbs up!! Thank you for a great time!!

Nice Stay
Have stayed a lot of places with my family and this by far was one of the best. Great property, clean, and more than appropriately stocked. Communication and accommodations made by the owners was more than great. Nice Holiday time spent with my family and more than pleased.
