Home on Hill with woods, valley views, fire pit, game room
Tucked into a forest of mature sugar maples high above the Jordan Valley, this family-friendly home feels peaceful, woodsy, and connected to northern Michigan’s best adventures.
Spend evenings around the fire pit beneath the trees, where the backyard feels almost like a private campground. Relax on the large deck with coffee in the morning or unwind beside the gas fireplace after a day on the water, trails, or ski slopes. Through the large picture window, enjoy seasonal views of the Jordan River winding through the valley below.
One of the best parts of this location is the access to both river life and lake life. You’re just minutes from the spring-fed Jordan River for tubing, fishing, kayaking, birding, and exploring, while beautiful Lake Charlevoix is right nearby for beaches, boating, sunsets, and lake-town charm.
The home is also perfectly positioned for exploring northern Michigan:
about 20 minutes to Boyne Mountain Resort
about 20 minutes to Boyne City
about 20–25 minutes to the north end of Torch Lake
about 20 minutes to Lake Michigan beaches
about 35 minutes to Petoskey
After your adventures, head downstairs for ping pong, arcade basketball, and family game nights before settling in for a restful sleep with memory-foam mattresses, sound machines, and room-darkening curtains.
Come visit Further Up North.
This is an Up North property in a woodsy setting, so expect to possibly have some rustic experiences. We professionally treat for bugs and pests but sometimes seasonally they still make an appearance.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Home was super clean upon arrival, very cozy, and had lots of cool amenities for my friends and I to enjoy. Everything we needed to have a good time and be comfortable, while also being close to the wedding venue I was getting married at! Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a place to stay in EJ.
