595 Lakeshore Drive Gladwin Michigan - Smallwood Lake
For our Family and Friends...This cottage feels secluded from the Hustle and Bustle of the outside world. However, it is just a few minutes outside the quaint town of Gladwin, Michigan providing us all with most of the conveniences we are all accustomed to. Moreover it is just over a two and a half hour drive North of the Detroit border which makes it a short drive to relaxation.
Twenty Five minutes North is a little Larger town with an Outlet Mall and a few additional commonly known restaurants.
