Keywords: House
This lovely, two-bedroom home is in a scenic wooded setting with 100 feet of sandy lake frontage. It's nestled in a quiet cove off the main lake where there is tubing, jet-skiing, and sailing. You'll enjoy great swimming with many sandy islands on which to picnic. The lake teems with bass, bluegill, perch, pike, and crappie contained within 29 miles of shoreline.
The Master Bedroom, as all rooms in the home, overlooks the sparkling lake and beautiful view. Upstairs is the kitchen, dining room, hallway, full bath, and two bedrooms. Downstairs has a sunroom with sofa sleeper, large living room with two additional sofa sleepers and woodburning stove, half bath, full laundry room, and a storage room. Easily sleeps eight to ten people. There are three large decks - including one off the master bedroom and one off the living room.
Outside is a Webber gas grill, portable fire pit for roasting marshmallows or enjoying a fire under the stars, row boat, paddle boat, swim raft, hammock, plenty of lounge chairs and games like volleyball, badminton, etc. A 50 foot dock will handle all boats and is great for dining outdoors. Large two-car garage with additional parking on paved driveway. Pets permitted with a $100 deposit.
Sit out on the beautiful hand-built stone deck and enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink and listen to the wind rustle through the trees and the cry of the loon. This is the perfect place for peaceful relaxation as well as active play- rustic fishing to sophisticated wining and dining or simply doing nothing at all! Drop us a note and we'll be happy to answer your questions.

Our family of five rented this house for a week last July.The property is relaxing and spacious (and the view is great). The pontoon was prefect for cruising all around the lake. We had a wonderful time and are making a return trip this summer.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

I enjoyed my stay at this rental property in June of 2010.. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations I have ever experienced. The listing photos are unable to display the true serinity this facility provides. The property is well maintained, clean with modern furnishings and friendly neighbors. The property owner is more than accomadating in providing for your needs and is well respected in the Community. The Traverse City area offers many things to see and do if you wish to venture away for short day-trips. I highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking relaxing accomadations.

We stayed at this cottage in the summer of '05. It was clean, the air cond. worked great. The lake is great for boating and tubing and the guys really enjoyed the fishing. Well worth every penny. The owners were friendly and easy to work with too. A very positive experience!!
