A real Up North log cabin

Otsego Lake Lodge is a spacious log cabin with plenty of room to spread out, just minutes from downtown Gaylord. It’s woodsy and peaceful, without being far from town.

Inside are 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms with tubs, and a fully stocked kitchen for family meals and big group dinners. Outside, there’s a courtyard-style dining area, a large fire pit with firewood supplied, and lake access right across the street with a boat and kayak launch.

Walk to Porter Haus, Benethum’s and The Iron Pig, or drive a few minutes to downtown Gaylord’s restaurants, shops and ATV/UTV rentals.

What guests say

“We were looking for an up north cabin on the lake experience and we got it! Huge lot for wonderful privacy… Great fire pit and Sam supplied the wood.”

David, Concord MI · Airbnb review

“We loved that it was close to town but there was still a peaceful/quietness to it… the kids loved the outdoor seating for roasting marshmallows.”

Ian, Howell MI · Airbnb review

“Near the water and three great restaurants right across the street were an easy walk.”
