About this cottage rental

Summers on the lake, breathtaking tall trees and fall colors, countless winter activities, and cool spring nights around the fire, this chalet-style cottage offers it all. Located on Secord Lake in beautiful Gladwin County. Secord Lake is approximately 815 sq acres and about 40 feet at its deepest point. Anglers can expect to find a variety of fish including Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout, Rock Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch. Lots of nearby lakes to explore, minutes from state land for hunting, and a variety of local restaurants and bars to try.

The cottage is in the perfect location on the lake, tucked in a slight cove with a sandy beach and unique fire-pit overlooking the water, and ready for relaxing with 6 Adirondack chairs. Wake up to glass-calm waters and take in the view with your morning coffee (coffee pods and tea provided). Be sure to curl up next to the crackling wood fireplace, while cozying up to watch a movie, play games or enjoy the moon glistening over the lake. You'll find a variety of fun board games, a full poker set, activity books, coloring books, stickers, blocks, and puzzles. Also equipped with (3) smart TVs and high-speed internet. The lower level has a large sectional, DVD player, and 55" flatscreen with surround sound so you can have a memorable movie night with the whole family. For those who need to get a little work done we’ve got a space for that too. Equipped with a desk, ergonomic chair, keyboard, and monitor with HDMI cord (second monitor available if requested). Enjoy preparing meals together in the large kitchen, with modern appliances, granite countertops, and a large kitchen island.  A quiet, peaceful sleep awaits in the four sleeping areas with nearly all new Casper mattresses, soft linens, and extra blankets. Two full bathrooms, one sits right off the main floor bedroom and another next to the built-in bunk bed on the lower level, creating a private sleeping quarter for kids or adults. The first floor and lower floor walk out directly to the lake so keeping an eye on kids or running back to grab a drink or extra beach towel is no problem at all. Finally, the large deck, equipped with a gas BBQ, dining for 6, and 3 additional lounging chairs is the perfect place to take it all in.

There are trails within walking distance and access to state hunting land and ORV trails just a short drive away. Centrally located between West Branch and Gladwin giving you easy access to lots of restaurants and shopping. This charming cottage is the absolute perfect place to create family memories that will last a lifetime. Please note: the hot tub is not currently functional. Sorry for the inconvenience on inconvenience.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
We stayed three nights for our annual family vacation and were impressed with the house and the amazing views! The place is more beautiful than the pictures! We had nine people and a baby, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We never even left the property, we had so much fun kayaking, swimming, and floating in the water. The fire pit area was another highlight. It is so beautiful and elevated over the water. Courtney was very responsive to an issue we had with the water and resolved the problem fairly. We would definitely recommend this vacation home to others! We made a lot of memories and had a lot of fun!

We had a great time! There were plenty items included with the stay! All of us enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and the large floating bench! The fire pit that overlooks the river was spectacular! Neighbors were friendly. Our host, Cortney was very responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Thank you!

A great place for the family (all ages). Lots of space inside and out. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. The kids spent hours fishing off the dock. We were only to able to have one fire due to weather, which was very relaxing.
