This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home welcomes up to 14 guests during the warm months and sleeps up to 12 during fall/winter/spring when the caboose is unavailable.
Imagine 350’ of crystal clear deep water all to yourself on 5 acres of private wooded area. In addition to the 5 bedrooms, there is a real railroad caboose car set up to hang out--imagine impressing the kids or grandkids with such a cool hangout spot!
Walk into a kitchen with plenty of space for the chef of the group in this galley-style full kitchen (with dishwasher). This well-stocked kitchen is perfect for cooking! Through the kitchen, the grand living room gives sweeping views of the bay and a large stone fireplace (temporarily out of service as of 12/2023)! Stone tile and cherry hardwood floors run throughout the home. Plenty of entertainment with cable TV, DVD player, and WIFI available for your use! On the main level, there are two bedrooms; the master bedroom has a king bed with an on-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower! The other bedroom on the main level features a queen bed. Another full bathroom on the main level as well. Upstairs, you will find the other three bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with two twin beds and bunk beds (four beds in total), and the last bedroom has a queen bed. You will also find a twin sleeper sofa in the reading area with a wall of books for your use! There is a full bathroom on the upper level.
Outdoors, the wrap-around deck welcomes you to sit and enjoy the view! Maybe cook something up on the grill, cooking with a view. What is better than that? A perfect vantage point to watch the kids enjoy the yard or play in the water! Sit on the dock and watch the boards sail by. A great way to end the day. Or cook up some s’mores for a perfect Northern Michigan desert over the fire pit!
This home is a great location to take in all this area has to offer, close to several wineries, a casino just down the road, shopping, dining, and so much more a short drive away! Traverse City is a 17-mile trip down the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. Head north up M-22 to explore Omena and Northport. Sleeping Bear Dunes is just about 36 miles away, well worth a day trip! Fall colors in this area are spectacular! The village of Suttons Bay is just a few minutes away. Here, you can play, dine, go to the movies, enjoy the park, or do some shopping! The Leelanau Trail can be picked up very close to this location and travels all the way through Traverse City.
