Location

This area of Gaylord is stunning. It is right in the middle of four golf courses, the Au Sable River, and multiple Lakes. Lake Effect is located near the Michaywe area. This area is cozy and quaint and makes you feel close to nature without being to far away from downtown Gaylord and restaurants, which is one of my favorite things about this house. You're close to fishing, trails, golf, dining, boating, kayaking, snow mobiling, skiing and snowboarding! And so much more! 

Boyne Mountain is only about 20 min away. Explore the north with a one hour drive to the Mackinac Bridge or just over an hour to Traverse City!
