Cozy Log Cabin on Beautiful Lake in Northern Michigan

Relax or recreate on beautiful Heart Lake in northern Michigan near Gaylord. Cozy log cabin with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. The lake is very clean and surrounded by mature trees for a beautiful setting. We have resident loons and eagles during the summer. All-sports access: fishing, boating, skiing, jet-skis, paddle boards and kayaks are all welcome. Lake has a no-wake rule from 7:30 pm until 11:30 am, allowing for tranquil mornings and evenings, and still plenty of time for all the fun during the day.

During the winter, the cabin is just 100 yards from one of the main snowmobile trails that connects with hundreds of miles of other trails. Nearby Treetops has downhill skiing. With some of the best snowfall in Michigan, Gaylord is in the heart of all of the winter activities, including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding.

Two bedrooms semi-private with open ceilings to beautiful cathedral log ceilings. Third bedroom tucked away from living area. Living area open concept with views to the lake. Sunroom makes a perfect spot to relax with a book while looking out on the lake.

Family Trip
We had a wonderful week. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the paddle boards and the lake is beautiful with a sandy beach for the kids to play and it was quiet all week. We’ve rented different places the last few years for vacations but will definitely plan to come back to this one.

Cozy cottage-Heart Lake
We had the BEST time at this cottage. The cottage is extremely clean and is equipped with everything you will need for your stay. It is an original Log Cabin that has been very well kept, with a few updates that make it very charming. There are two amazing decks that were added to the lakeside side at the back of the house. It is a very quiet lake even though there was a lot of boat traffic mid day. The additional wooden deck down by the small beach was an added bonus, as was a very nice dock which also had a seating platform. Traci was extremely helpful and very attentive to any questions we had. We loved our stay here and will be looking at the calendar for a return visit in the future. 5 stars +++

Wonderful Cabin
We stayed in this cabin for 6 nights. The cabin was clean, well-maintained and beautiful! The manager Traci is very friendly, responsive, and helpful. At one point we asked about the use of a rowboat on premise, Traci not only gave us permission, she came by and made sure we had oars for it! We very much enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back in future years!

Second visit; excited for the next
We visited this cottage three years ago and were excited to experience it again. The lake is beautiful and quiet, and the paddle boards are an added perk. It is close to Lake Michigan and Huron, with lots of long hikes in between. The cottage is lovely inside (and outside!) and mixes the history of traditional log construction with contemporary amenities. We always have everything we need. Both the host and neighbors are friendly. I will stay again.

Best Ever!
This property has everything you could possibly want! It’s spotlessly clean, is exactly as advertised, and communication was almost instantaneous. It’s on a beautiful, clean small lake and has many places to sit and soak in the gorgeous views. I give it my highest recommendation. Thanks, Traci!

End of summer vacation
3 girls looking to have a wonderful time. Wanting to fish, yard sale, shop and do crafts. The cabin was awesome, the landlord great and time spent with friends super. We only caught 3 fish the two weeks we were there but made up for it with the other things! Would recommend this beautiful cabin to anyone!

Pointe Cottage on Heart Lake
Enjoyed our time here. Everything was as listed on VRBO. I thought the cottage was better than the pictures. Only thing I'd change is putting the bedroom TV in the 1st bedroom to cut down on noise. Owner and neighbors were super nice. Great swimming for kids and adults. Will try to rent again.

Perfect Getaway!
The property is absolutely gorgeous. The lake is clear, clean, and peaceful. We loved everything but not having AC on 2 really hot days! The beds are comfortable, which is a huge concern when we travel. Our daughter doesn’t walk in her own so she crawls everywhere. There were no concerns with her being on the floor! Traci was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. This trip eas just what our family needed.

Wonderful cabin with everything you need....and great host!!
Wonderful time with family... swimming, stand up paddle boarding, boating, fishing, reading, playing games...just relaxing together. One note about the walls not being full height... we had a little one that went to bed early but the rest of us were able to stay up late playing games in the enclosed sun room with no issues. It was a bit difficult in the morning though since two of the bedrooms are near the kitchen. Traci was a wonderful host... very thorough and responsive. One SUP was deflated and she was at the house within an hour pumping it up for us. The house had everything we needed! Thank you for sharing with us. :)

Amazing!
Honestly the best house I’ve ever rented! The house has everything you need and was comfortable for sleeping and hanging out, so much to do! The lake was crystal clear and perfect for swimming and boating. The loons greeted us every day. Traci, the property owner, was very responsive and made sure everything was great. We will be back again :-)

Beautiful!!!
We stayed for six days and had a blast. The cabin is fully stocked with almost anything you could need: cookware, propane grill, kitchenware, coffee maker, keurig, cleaning supplies, laundry room on site, shampoo, soap, life vests and two TVs with Roku. Great internet. It was clean and cozy with a beautiful view of Heart Lake. Our 2 year old loved the sandy beach- lots of sand castles, lol. We did a lot of grilling and enjoyed eating doors. While there isn't AC the cabin stayed pretty cool- there's plenty of fans. Also, the owner is great- very responsive. We definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back!!!

This cabin was comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of room for the whole family yet intimate enough for a couple. The lake was so clear you could see the fish you catch right off the dock. Plenty of outdoor seating and nice fire pit. Wonderful host. Everything you need for a great vacation.

Traci's cabin was perfect in every way! It was extremely clean, comfortable and had all the amenities you could wish for. There were many nice extras like a fireplace with remote, comfortable patio furniture, and a kitchen with all that you need for cooking. The location on the lake was wonderful! Traci was communicative, helpful but completely respected our privacy and space. We absolutely enjoyed our time there and hope to stay there again one day!

Quick enjoyable time
We had a great time at heart lake. My boys enjoyed the paddle boards and fishing on the peddle boat. Took a day and caught lots of trout on Lake Michigan in Petoskey and another day went to Macanac Island. Thank you Traci for providing all the little amenities as laundry and dish detergent, etc. Such a cute place with lots of great fans!!

Great Getaway in Gaylord
Pictures of this property do not do it justice. The home is very spacious with modern amenities all set on a quiet lake. We enjoyed paddle boarding, fishing, and campfires by the lake with our children. The convenient location made taking day trips to Petosky and Mackinaw Island super easy. I would definitely recommend this property.

A great vacation place
This vacation property was better then I had anicipated. Traci (the property manager) did an excellent job staying in touch to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying the place. The place is well maintained, the sunrises are breathtaking the night stars were abundant. Our group even spotted a few bald eagles. I will be going back.
