Cable T.V., WIFI, and games. Full kitchen, ( no dishwasher), open dining area that overlooks swimming area and view. Sliding door that opens to big deck to sit and enjoy all that is offered.
Plenty of parking available with gas grill, fire pit and sandy beach. Choices of rowboat fishing, paddleboat enjoyment on a no motorized lake. Public access adjacent to this paradise. The perfect area for on and off road biking and hiking while catching a glimpse of wildlife roaming.
Located on the south side of town and only 10 minutes from the happenings of Traverse City with shopping, wineries, casinos, restaurants, and finally topped off with the Cherry festival and Film festival.
