Guests also have access to 3 car garage for storing gear. 

We also have a picturesque barn and two seasonal outbuildings offering additional space. In summer only, “The Coop” has been converted to seasonal sleeping quarters with a queen and twin bed. The hangout shed, which dates back to the 1860’s, offers another great place to gather and have fun outside of the main house. We have a nice seating area & games for your group to enjoy! A huge fire pit surrounded by Adirondacks at the back of the property is the perfect place to end the day! Be sure to stay up to check out the breath-taking starry sky.

We are minutes from the famous M-22 Scenic route and many of Northern Michigan’s magical towns and waterways. The sites and tastes abound at Frankfort, Leelanau, Traverse City, and Glen Arbor to name a few. Take your pick of fabulous breweries, wineries, coffee houses, eateries, and shopping in many of the small towns or big cities.

Just a few minutes away from Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and majestic Lake Michigan beaches as well as inland lakes such as Crystal and Platte Lake. Sport fishing abounds from your very own motorboat or charter fishing boats. Kayak along our Platte River from slow water to fast water with different trips for your experience. You may choose to kayak all the way to Lake Michigan in a day’s trip. Rentals are nearby or bring your own. Hiking is spectacular as well as miles and miles of paved biking trails.
