The Bluegill Lake House- A Peaceful and Relaxing Getaway

Kick back and enjoy the peace and tranquility of no wake Bluegill Lake. This cozy little 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage sits just 10 steps off the lake and offers amazing year round views. The lake is perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing (bluegill of course and bass) and is within ten minutes of all sports Otsego Lake and Big Bradford Lake if you want to ski, tube, or pontoon on a bigger lake. The Otsego Lake State Park beach is one of the best inland lake beaches in Northern Michigan and is right down the road as well as biking and hiking trails. Gaylord is 20 minutes away for all your shopping, golfing and dining needs. In the winter time, the snowmobile trails are within a half of a mile and skiing at Treetops and Boyne Mountain is fantastic. A good weather day trip to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes or to the UP falls are also within reach as well as a bad weather day trip to Traverse City or Petoskey for casinos and shopping! Either way if you’re looking to kickback and relax and do nothing or create an adventure filled Northern Michigan experience- the Bluegill Lake House will suit you just fine!

Remote feeling with larger city access
Our family enjoyed our time at the Bluegill Lake House. The home was very clean and complete with everything you would need. You are centrally located between Grayling and Gaylord, which makes it easy to grab groceries and dinner if you feel the need to go out. We also found great kayaking in Grayling and a lot of other activities to keep us busy!

Bluegill Lake House a Little Slice of Paradise
I booked the Bluegill Lake House for my two best friends and me to enjoy a girl's trip and unwind. The house was perfect and we loved the location. I wish we had more time to spend relaxing and enjoying the lake, but we had a full itinerary. Jason was very accommodating and we really enjoyed our stay. I would love to book again next summer!

Cute cottage
We loved the pricavy and coziness of the wooded lake front. The host was responsive and easy to reach. The Blue Gill over all was good and is what is descibed! We had some cold showers from the cottage size hot water tank and the lack of T.P. for the sensitive pipes was annoying. Overall 👍

Wonderful!
It was great! Cottage was welcoming, clean and comfortable. Had everything we could need, plus more. Had the lake mostly to ourselves the entire weekend. Lots of fishing, swimming and kayaking. Everyone wants to go back there again. Jason & Aimee were friendly and very easy to communicate with.

Great Lake Vacation
A great little place on a nice small lake. Selling point and most fun of the weekend was using kayaks and rowboat. Only 20 minutes to Gaylord. Nearby Otsego Lake State Park for beach fun. Super appreciate the communication from owners- as well as providing extra requests!! Would consider this place again!

Fun lake time
Had a great stay, caught a 27 inch pike from shore. Wished we had brought a small trolling motor but lake is just the right size for rowing.

Fantastic Labor Day Weekend
The property was clean and beautiful. We loved the lake and enjoyed using the kayaks and rowboat. The location was treed and had tons of privacy, but it’s proximity to the surrounding cities and other amenities was great. We truly enjoyed our getaway there.
