Although we prefer the home remain smoke-free, we cannot guarantee the lack of smoking on the premises, specifically for those that are particularly sensitive.
Pets are permitted with prior authorization; a $50 cleaning fee will be charged.
We do not provide firewood, beach towels, beach blankets or life preservers.
There is a land line phone at the home, but only for local calls. We recommend you bring a cell phone for long distance calls. Mobile coverage is spotty; Cellular-One, Alltel or Nextel are recommended.
Golf:
The striking scenery northern Michigan is known for, only enhances enjoyment of golf enthusiasts who visit the Gaylord Golf Mecca to play some of the area's twenty-two award-winning golf courses. The Gaylord Golf Mecca is a beautiful, rustic woods and lakes paradise where long, warm summer days continue into early evening, allowing extended play. Treetops Resort, The Natural, Otsego Club, Black Bear, and Michaywe are just a few highlights within minutes of Burke's Tile House on Lake Manuka.
