Lake views and a spacious gathering area set the pace for a winter stay at Dixon Lake. Prepare meals in the full kitchen, gather at the dining table and bar, or settle into the living room for a movie using your own streaming accounts.

This is a Christmas and winter house for a larger group: a kitchen and table that seat 11, lake views, a fire pit, and four bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa. Snowmobile Trail 4 is a short stroll of less than a quarter mile from the house; check the route and current conditions before riding. Otsego Resort is 7 minutes and Treetops is 10, so a ski day is an easy outing, then it is back for dinner and a movie. Downtown Gaylord is 8 minutes.
The garage can be used for parking and also stores water equipment and backyard games. The driveway can take snowmobile trailers. Dock, kayaks, SUPs, and the paddleboat are warmer-month amenities, and lake conditions are not monitored as a guest activity.
This is an older cottage that has kept its character through updates. The boiler can make some noise as water moves through the pipes, which is normal. Some doors need an extra push to close, and some closets hold utility items (the boiler and water heater) because there is no separate utility room. Dogs up to 50 lbs are welcome (leash, off furniture, clean up after them). Smoking is not allowed indoors. A rental agreement, ID verification, and a security deposit or damage waiver are required.
