Why the Owner Chose Cheboygan
This house is a dream home for an Up North retreat. It is on a private area of the Black River. We think it is a "million dollar" view unlike any other on the river.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It has all the amenities of a high end resort and the privacy of a single family home with only 1 neighbor nearby. Compare nightly prices to single hotel/motel rooms! It is very affordable especially when the cost is split between a couple of families. Plus you can prepare meals in the gourmet kitchen or grill out on the over sized grilling equipment saving you even more.
LIMITED OFFER: Book your stay before March 31, 2010 & get 10% off your rental! Really!
