SPECIAL 🔥 Lakefront Dock, Swim Raft, Firepit, Sleeps 16 All Sports Lake-
LOCATION — PRIVATE, PEACEFUL, AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING
Located at 2753 E Ridge Rd in Lupton, Michigan, this home offers the best of Northern Michigan. You are not tied to just one town—you’re positioned perfectly between multiple destinations, activities, and experiences. NOTE: in order to list the spaces where we have sleeping quarters it’s listed as a seven bedroom. This is a four bedroom house. It’s been brought to our attention that we’re being fraudulent. This is only a four bedroom house have an upper living room area and a lower living room area that have sleeping arrangements, which makes it six and then we have two cots-I’m sorry I can’t change the platform. I just wanna be transparent. The upper living room has a leather sofa that pulls out to a double bed. There’s a TV in the room. The lower living area has a double rollaway bat.
Enjoy the quiet, private setting directly on the lake, while still being within easy driving distance of dining, shopping, trails, wineries, golf, and local attractions.
