About Kent Filsinger

I have been coming up to Sugar Springs since my parents purchased the property in 1976. I road through the lake in a 4 wheel jeep before it was filled with water. I used to own a remodeling business and now my hobby is to continually improve the property for my family and our guests.

Kent Filsinger purchased this cottage in 1976
Why Kent Filsinger chose Gladwin

I have spent 30 years improving the cottage to make your stay relaxing and memorable. Has all the amenities of a house but has the feel of a cottage with lots of natural wood and fishing and boating decor.

What makes this cottage unique

Almost every room has a view of the water. The gardens have been a long term on going love affair. Sitting on the garden swing or hammock totally relaxes me. Seeing the sunrise from the master bedroom always puts me in the right state of mind to start the day.

Amazing Find

5 of 5
Submitted: August 14, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
What a gem, this cottage is really authenic. We loved our stay there so much we booked for next year already and are thinking of going in the fall color season. It was a really well maintained cottage built in the 1970's. It is crazy charming and comfortable. The central air was an added bonus, as it was wicked hot the week we were there. Our kids LOVED the beach, they would wake up and go to the beach first thing, they stayed there all week. Our dog was comfortable in the large dog pen. The owner was really nice to work with he made us feel very welcomed. We forgot the door alarm code and almost paniced, but we called him and left a massage, he called right back and we all had a good laught. I can highly recommend this vacation home.

We just returned from a long weekend at The Barn and concur with the other positive reviews of the property and its owner. We found everything in great working order, lots of sheets and towels along with good quality kitchen and bathroom supplies. We have rented many cottages and I can’t express enough what a relief it is to find a place that is so well cared for and generously stocked as well as dealing with a pleasing owner. Pet owners will especially appreciate the fenced side yard and dog door and older renters will find parking out front makes it a breeze to load/unload vehicles. Looking forward to a time when we can rent in warmer weather so we can take advantage of the outdoor amenities.

Amazing is simply not enough of a word to define the beautiful home provided here. From being on a point of a well controlled lake. To the deck situated right on the water, this trip was well beyond amazing. The decor alone in the property puts ones mind in vacation mode, let alone all the ammenities from a dog door to a fenced in property, to the pool table over looking the water. Friendly neighbors outside of the secluded property provide excellent conversation as well. Everything is provided to the point that you feel you have been here all your life. The master bedroom overlooking the lake with a private deck on the second floor provided an excellent morning retreat with coffee to watch the sunrise. I spent 8 hours a day chasing bass all over the exstensive lake system and caught some nice sized fish throughout the long weekend. Thank-you so much for opening your family s home to us and others, it truly is a gem!

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Barn". We were happy that it was pet friendly for us to bring our dog on vacation with us. There is privacy from either side of neighbors and land for our dog to run around. I really liked the garden swing to relax on when I needed a break from the sun. The house was really clean apon our arrival. The pool table was fun too for days that it rained. Great experience over all!
