We actually came because a friend (who was vacationing) was unexpectedly admitted to the ICU at Munson Otsego Hospital. It was a great facility with skilled healthcare workers. Good to know if you’re ever in the area & in need of medical services!

Gaylord is a cute city, very Swiss looking. We have driven by at least 100 times while traveling to and from the U.P. and never really stopped to go on an adventure. We had a very nice time.
