Private lake front home! Newly remodeled, Cozy, quiet & clean!

Located on Long Lake (Near Michawye golf course) in a residential neighborhood that is densely wooded! Close to down town- yet feels SO FAR AWAY!
You will have plenty of space for large groups with our walk out finished basement that features a second living area as well as a second dining space and a game center. In the summer months, spread out on our two large back decks that over look the lake! Our property is Ideal for any vacation! This cozy cabin is your ideal escape from the bustles of everyday life!
Lake Effect has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms (showers only, no tubs).
First Floor: Bedroom 1: Queen Bed, Bedroom 2: Queen Bed, Living Room: Full sized Sleeper Sofa, Full Bathroom (shower only)
Basement: 2 Full Sized Beds, Full Bathroom (shower only). Please note: Basement bedroom is non conforming and does NOT have an egress inside the bedroom. Egress is located outside the bedroom at the walk out basement entrance.
On the main floor you will find a desirable open concept living area featuring a wall of windows that soak in an abundance of natural light! The views of the lake makes the property seem so private and secluded, bringing the outside inside! Use our electric fireplace to cozy up! Or during the summer months, cool down with our central air conditioning!
Enjoy our remodeled kitchen featuring sprawling granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and fully stocked with everything you could imagine needing! Crock pot? We got it! Blender? We got it! You will definitely feel at home while away from home!

Lake Effect is minutes from snowmobiling, hiking, golfing, ski resorts, & Downtown Gaylord. Perfect for year round vacationing! You can find winter, summer and indoor activities- details on activities in the Welcome Binder.

Book this house. Great House and fantastic Owner!
This beautiful house was perfect. The secluded drive to a wonderful house on a pretty lake. Leave the world behind. Watch the sunset from the deck. The house was clean, the kitchen very well equipped, everything we needed was there. Gameroom downstairs w a bedroom and laundry room. The decor was welcoming, the place was perfect, and Lindsay was an exceptional host. Seriously. I've stayed in dozens of VRBOs. She's the best.

Lakeside getaway
Check in process was easy, host super responsive to questions and needs during our stay. The house is in a quiet area on the lake with a large, sandy beach. We enjoyed the rowboat and kayaks! Home is well stocked and offers a warm and welcome atmosphere. We had 9 adults in our group and plenty of room in the house. Deck is also fantastic with lots of seating. We enjoyed staying here for our family reunion. Thank you!

Spring break family trip
The owner was super accommodating with a couple of last minute changes with my fiancée being added and also deciding to add an extra day! I grew up in the town and wanted to spend time with family and friends. The location was absolutely amazing! The lake view was enjoyed every day with a cup of coffee. We enjoyed seeing all the tiny footprints in the snow and seeing the squirrels run around. We definitely would like to book again in summertime!

Quiet Winter Getaway Retreat
We gathered at this perfect property tucked into the woods on a quiet lake for some winter adventuring in Gaylord. It was just right for a girls’ trip! The neighborhood was quiet, the house had everything we needed, the hosts were excellent communicators, and we found plenty to do in the area in February. If we find ourselves back in this area, we will definitely stay here again!

A Peaceful Lake Effect
The home was clean, comfortable and spacious. The lake is good for kayaks. It was scenic and relaxing, and close to many cities and activities if one chooses.
