Thank you for looking at our family's home. We do not have any time available in 2009.
Due to the limited amount of time that we rent Craignair, and the fact that our previous renters will be returning, we will only have one week available in the summer of 2010. This will be either the 3rd or 4th week in June.
Craignair, a beautiful older home on 450 feet of private Lake Michigan shorefront, featured in Better Homes and Gardens in 1955. It has been lovingly cared for by our family for 61 years. Located on a secluded lane, in a tucked away corner of Northern Door County, it is perfect for quiet get-a-ways yet, 10 minutes away from busy Sister Bay, by car.
The main house is steps away from the water and boasts a warm cheery atmosphere. The living room is resplendent in knotty pine, balanced by a significant fieldstone fireplace. The room is highlighted by an inspiring panoramic lake view. The attached sun porch welcomes cool lake breezes, is generously proportioned with vaulted ceiling and has views in 3 directions. The dine-in kitchen with vaulted ceiling makes cooking for a crew a snap, while a gorgeous lake view takes the mind off the task. The dining room seats 12 at two tables. A ¾ bath, with shower, is off the living room.
The three downstairs bedrooms feature yet more fantastic water views from picture windows and cathedral ceilings. The green room has 2 full size beds, the red room and white room have one. A full bath, with tub, is located between these rooms.
Upstairs the yellow room has a private entrance to a full width lake view balcony and a full size bed. The blue room has two twin beds. A half bath services these rooms.
A complete apartment above a newer detached garage offers privacy, while still being close to the action. There are 2 beds built into the living room walls and a bunk room as well. A small kitchen and ¾ bath make this unit self sustaining. The lake view and fireplace make for a comfortable, relaxing stay.
The spacious yard is fronted by a very private rocky beach and shallow waters. A 20 x 28 feet lake front deck with gazebo, is an entertaining centerpiece great for sunning and funning! A propane grill and 2 picnic tables make outdoor feasting an easy possibility. Perhaps a strenuous game of volleyball or shooting hoops is your desire or maybe reading in a shaded hammock. No matter your degree of output, there is something here at Craignair to interest you! A wooden swing set is offered for the younger set.
The house is 5 minutes by car from a boat launch, on North Bay and close to Northern Door County attractions and restaurants.
