Notes
- Lake at your door with 150 feet of sandy beach. Great fishing - bass, pike, bluegills and perch. A variety of small watercraft is included free for your use - kayaks, single person pontoons, a canoe - and there's even a new pontoon available to rent. There's a gas grill and dining furniture on the sunny lakeside deck and a second picnic table in the huge grassy side yard. On the beach is a big wood swing to watch unbelievable sunsets from and a nice fire pit with free firewood. There's plenty of deck chairs, loungers and tables (and ashtrays for the 'outside only' smokers). All linens except beach towels are provided, plus an initial supply of paper and soap products. Your dog is welcome at NO extra charge (just a common sense pet agreement form). Plenty of parking for boat trailers and vehicles in the yard. Very quiet and peaceful location on dead end private road, just 200 yards off pavement and less than 5 miles from town. Best of all - the entire PRIVATE compound is just for you and your family - no close neighbors, no traffic noise - it's so relaxing you won't want to leave

#Making memories
Our annual up north family vacation was perfect. Trudy was very organized and responsive to all of our questions. The rental was spotless and had enough “water toys” that we all could participate! Perfect for small children. My grandsons had a blast. Best rental we have in the 10 years we’ve had this tradition!
Everything we hoped for!
It’s the perfect spot! Right on the water with great beach for our little grandchildren. Many things included to enjoy being in the water with? The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed renting the pontoon to site see and fish. The house is beautiful and met all our needs. Plenty of parking for our three cars and a trailer. This was our first year to start making family memories with our kids and grandkids. We couldn’t have imaged being anywhere else. We can’t say enough good about it!!! We booked 2020 back in January because we felt good about the place just with the pictures. We were right on! Trudy and her house are the best!!
Wonderful Vacation Spot
This vacation home has everything needed for fun and relaxation. There are so many outdoor activity options which appealed to all ages. The beach was very nice for the kids. The many watercraft and the pontoon availability were major factors in selecting this home and they were exactly what we expected. There are nearby stores and restaurants. It's close enough to Traverse City attractions while still being secluded and peaceful. Trudy was very friendly and organized. Overall, a great place to stay!
Five stars every time!
We’ve been staying here for several years. It’s a true vacation home. You don’t have to bring anything! Grocery store close by. Lots of places to eat. Nice sandy beach for the kids. Fire pit for s’mores. Our daughter is in a wheelchair and she is able to go out on the deck - ramps provided. We always leave saying we can’t wait til next year! Thanks, Trudy. We’vE made lots of fun memories thanks to you!
Fabulous!
This was our first ever house rental, so we were not quite sure what to expect. However, we had a fantastic stay at the lake house. We were a party of 6 adults and a small dog (Trudy even provides dog crates). The house was clean and well catered for. The sunrises and sunsets from the dock were beautiful, and the use of the pontoon was an added bonus to get us all out on the lake. Trudy was very organized and very easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend this property.
Great waterfront property with grass area, beach front and dock for enjoying the outdoors.
The property was perfect for our family of 2 adult parents, 4 young adults and 2 small dogs. Separate building for hanging out, playing games or doing puzzles. Quiet lake for kayaking and paddle boarding. Great amenities with fire wood, absopure water cooler, corn hole game, dog cages and dog pen. Kayaks and paddle boards also available as part of rental. Air conditioning a big plus on those hot summer nights.. Really had all of the amenities of home. Actually had more ammentities than home, as it was on a small lake :-)
Location
Traverse City area has it all - beautiful beaches, a really cool downtown shopping district, hot air balloon rides, 24 hour casinos, golf courses galore, jet ski and sailboat rentals and wineries with free tasting bars. Interlochen music shows are minutes away, and our sand dunes (GMA voted most beautiful place in America) are less than an hour away. Mackinac Island is just 2 hours away - perfect for a family oriented day trip to travel back in time.
