The best place to check out the leaves changing in the fall 🍁, hit the ski slopes ⛷️, minutes from the best snowmobile trails with space to park trailers on our property ❄️. Gorgeous green grass and hiking trails to discover in the summer. This is a unique northern Michigan Barndominium that Sits back in the woods at the end of a long driveway on 60 private acres. It has Shared access with the main lodge (where we currently reside) the barn offers its own privacy. Your view from the back deck is secluded and gives you tons of privacy. The details are in the decor. Perfectly located within easy driving distance to all of the best places in northwest MI. Quiet and peaceful with all the wildlife and greenery.

The property is six miles north of Elmira, MI. All roads leading to Lonesome Grouse Lodge are off the beaten path. You can’t see any neighbors and will rarely hear a car.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Beyne

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 2020 going into the crazy unknown of Covid times.

We fully renovated the property on our own, including throwing our own wedding here in 2022.

My husband and I grew up in Traverse City and actually went to the same high school. We reconnected during Covid and fell in love.

Why they chose this property

It’s quiet, beautiful, and private. With many years of hard work we managed to make this homestead into our dream come true.
