Enjoy year-round vacation-style living in your new home in Otsego County, in one of Lakes of the North’s subdivision, Pencil Lake North. Live a short drive from Pencil Lake, a delightful 50-acre natural lake surrounded by a green area with excellent fishing and quiet, non-motorized boats.
This peaceful and quiet getaway transforms seasonally from snow-covered white in winter, to spring green, then magnificent shades in fall.

Located in the center of Northern Lower Michigan's Snow Belt, the Gaylord area averages 180 inches of snow annually. Surrounded by rolling hills, thousands of acres of unspoiled forests, and numerous winter activities, Gaylord is quickly emerging as a preferred winter destination.
The newest snowmobile trail from Gaylord to Indian River is "the crown jewel of snowmobile trails" in northern Michigan. The trail runs along an abandoned railroad corridor, crosses the Sturgeon River, and winds through some of the most spectacular scenery in northern Michigan.
Alpine Village of Gaylord is known to Michiganders as "The Ski Capital of Michigan." Visitors will enjoy a variety of local attractions, picturesque scenery, and a charming downtown shopping district.
