Great property for family. Interior is roomy and modern. Large lakefront yard for games, picnic meals and campfires by the water. Ideal location for beautiful view of lake from comfortable modern sun room. Friendly neighbors on both sides. Nice lake for fishing and boating fun.

Great Up North Location

A perfect spot for a getaway! Property is exactly as pictured. Clean, comfortable and centrally located if you want to venture out to Traverse City, Bellaire or Charlevoix. Or just relax by the water and enjoy the birds and the hum of an occasional pontoon tooling by. We loved our week there and would highly recommend and will look to make a return visit!

Wonderful spot!

This was a perfect getaway for our family and dogs. The location is great. The house is comfortable and exactly as pictured. The beds were great. The screened in porch is not heated in the winter but the fireplace is great! It’s a quiet area but also incredibly close to traverse city. We would definitely stay again!
