This cabin is a straightforward Thanksgiving house: a full kitchen and a table for eight, a fire pit in the fenced yard, and three bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa so the group can spread out. The home is close to snowmobile trails 4 and 7. Check routes and trail conditions before you ride. The driveway can fit snowmobile trailers or sleds if parked carefully, and rentals are about 1.3 miles away.

Otsego Resort is seven minutes for skiing, Treetops Resort is 13 minutes, and Boyne Mountain is about 30 minutes. Cross-country options include the North Central State Trail, Pine Baron Pathway, and Gaylord Area XC trails. Shanty Creek Resort is a short drive. Downtown Gaylord — Michigan’s “Alpine Village” — is six minutes away for shops, breweries, and a holiday meal out. After dinner, come back for a movie, or use the fire pit if you bring firewood.

Otsego Lake is a quarter-mile walk; the boat launch is for warmer months, and lake access is not a promise of safe ice.

Please plan around the single shared bathroom. There is a locked cleaner’s closet that is unavailable to guests. No pets. Smoking is not allowed indoors. A rental agreement, ID verification, and a security deposit or damage waiver are required.
