My family and I have been visiting the area for the past 20 years, sometimes a few times a year. Out of everywhere we stayed we have chosen to make this our second home. This area is beautiful and centrally located , with all the lakes that surround us including Torch Lake ! Fantastic too because we are still close enough to enjoy a night out in Traverse City if we want or Charlevoix , even Elk Rapids . Honestly if your a foodie there are some unbelievable restaurants up here!
Why they chose this property
As a previous renter I knew that the layout of the home and the property it self was perfect for my family. Privacy Privacy ! I always wanted Two things out of my future cabin . First it had to be in the woods type of private. Secondly I needed to be able to boat on Torch Lake ! I got that and so much more ! We have made many upgrades to accommodate what your looking for on a vacation! I can tell you that you will not find anything else that compare's ! Any Season this is the place you want to be at..
What makes this property unique
The beautiful wrap around porch makes for a relaxing retreat to take in all that nature has to offer. We built a large lower patio that has a 20 foot tall Outdoor fireplace with large sitting area. If that wasn't enough there is also a fire pit on the property. The lower patio also has a large Pizza Oven and wood fire grill perfect for outdoor entertaining . There is dinning table also on the lower patio. We also added a Hot Tub . We have a Covered outdoor bar area with bar stools. Seating, Seating tons of it all over to enjoy the outdoors! The boardwalk to the river is like having your own nature trail and it is lighted to enjoy in the evenings for star gazing some even enjoy moonlight kayaking!
