About the host

Hosted by Tracey Wittke

My family moved to Northern Michigan over twenty years ago from a suburb of Detroit. I started investing in properties within the charming towns of Bellaire and Central Lake after we fell in love with Intermediate Lake. We plan on one day retiring there.

Why they chose this property

Intermediate Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen. Other than the magical color, sunrises and sunsets it also warms up quickly. My boys have been able to swim in it from Memorial Day through September! The unsalted Mermaid is about 250 steps from the water, making it nice with littles.

What makes this property unique

The Unsalted Mermaid allows for 2-3 families to sleep comfortably. The setup includes upstairs and downstairs living space and bedrooms. The property is situated on 2acres with only one neighbor on one side. It also offers 100ft of private lakeshore for all my guests to enjoy.
