Fall Retreat w/ Game room, near Mackinaw and Harbor Springs!
Escape to White Pine Hideaway in picturesque Pellston. You get 2 units in 1 (2 private exterior entrances w/ interior connecting door)! Boasting 6 bedrooms, including 2 king beds, 2 queen beds, a cozy bunk bed, and a sofa bed, along with 4 full bathrooms with amenities like a hairdryer and showers, guests will feel right at home. Add in 2 fully equipped, large kitchens, you can never have too many cooks in the kitchen! 2 separate living rooms provide ample space for all! The outdoor lounging/dining area is the perfect space for your morning coffee, backyard BBQ or relaxing with a glass of wine. You'll love catching up on your day around the fire pit, making s'mores and amazing memories!
Upon entering the property, you will immediately feel the welcoming, homey vibe of a modern mountain lodge. With an open and inviting floor plan, you and your guests will have plenty of space for lounging, catching the football game, playing board games in front of the fire, or having drinks and charcuterie at the table. Two fully stocked, large kitchens keep you connected to the group while preparing a gourmet meal, or for heating up take out and putting it in one of the provided serving dishes (we won't tell). Enjoy your morning coffee in peace and tranquility on one of the beautiful outdoor decks overlooking the towering pines. K-cups included.
On the lower level of the home, you will find a primary bedroom with a king bed and adjoining full bathroom with shower, a 2nd bedroom with full size bunk beds, the 3rd bedroom off of the living room with a full sleeper sofa, along with another full bathroom with tub/shower combo, living room with 75" smart TV and fireplace, dining room that seats 6-8, full kitchen and washer and dryer.

Another living room that includes a futon for an optional sleeping area, dining area that seats 6-8, full kitchen, and another washer and dryer.
Heading outside to the outdoor entertaining area is truly magical. Savor a meal at the outdoor dining table that seats 6 and indulge in dessert or a cocktail under the string lights while you reminisce on the amazing adventures from the day. Cuddling up with a book and a blanket on the deck swing might lull you to sleep!
Kids of all ages will enjoy the game room in the basement. Compete in friendly games of Street Warrior, Air Hockey, Connect 4 or Darts. Loser has to make s'mores for everyone!

This property is absolutely stunning!!! Perfect for families! The seperate spaces upstairs on the lower level are beautiful! The house was very clean, the amenities were stocked well, and easy to find. The hosts were so easy to communicate with, this was a memorial for my Mom and they left me the sweetest little gift, it made me cry that they were so thoughtful!!! My family LOVED staying here! I'd highly recommend to anyone and would absolutely stay here again!!! Tons of toys for the kids, the rooms were cozy and the fireplaces in both living areas, AMAZING!!!Thank you so much Cris & Erin for making our stay so great!

We stayed here with my whole extended family to celebrate my mom’s 70th and our son’s 3rd. Chris and Erin were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond to take care of us. The home was clean and comfortable with several wonderful touches such as smore supplies for the fire pit, little kid toys, and the game room. Chris and Erin even asked our mom’s favorite flower and got her an arrangement of those for our arrival. Great communication all around- if you’re considering staying here, it’s a great choice.

This was an amazing home for the 10 of us this week. We couldn’t have asked for more this home is nestled in the woods it’s so quiet yet close to everything We all voted if we go back we would want to stay here again. The owners could not have been easier to reach out to. We all would recommend this home We were lucky enough to have 3 generations together.

Great family getaway
My family lives above and below the bridge and this was the perfect place for us to gather for a wonderful holiday get together. The two stove option made for cookie smells upstairs and turkey smells down stairs. We had plenty of space for all of us to enjoy each other without stepping on anyone. The whole family LOVED the game room!!!! We will definitely consider this place in the future.
