About this property

Green Lake: Charming Cottage with Sandy Beach & Dock - Ideal for Family Getaways


The Lazy Lodge is nestled at the tip of a serene peninsula, accessed via a private drive extending over 200 feet. Secluded amidst lush woodlands, this lakefront abode offers breathtaking views and boasts a spacious private backyard, ideal for unwinding. With 85 feet of exclusive shoreline featuring a firm sandy bottom and no sudden drop-offs, relaxation by the water is assured.

Our charming cottage, spanning over 1,500 square feet on more than three-quarters of an acre, comprises three bedrooms and two full bathrooms—all on a single level, with minimal stairs for accessibility. Sleeping arrangements include a queen bed, a full bed, bunk beds, and an additional twin bed. The open layout accommodates the entire family, centered around a generous farmer's table seating eight adults comfortably.

Expansive panoramic windows adorn the lakeside, inviting the scenic beauty indoors, while rustic elements like solid pine board living areas, a wood-burning fireplace, and a limestone hearth enhance the cozy ambiance. Recent updates to the kitchen include new drywall, paint, stove, dishwasher, sink, faucet, and granite countertops. In 2022, we installed new windows, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, and updated the living room furniture.

Situated on the shores of the 2,000-acre crystal-clear Green Lake, surrounded by state parks, nature preserves, and the renowned Interlochen Arts Academy, the Lazy Lodge offers a tranquil retreat perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. Just minutes away from Traverse City, Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, wineries, concert halls, casinos, and golf courses, there's no shortage of activities to enjoy.

During the summer months, a minimum 7-night stay with Saturday check-in/out is required.

Disclaimer: Please note that the Lazy Lodge is a renovated 1950s cottage owned by our family. We've invested considerable care and effort to ensure it offers comfortable accommodations with modern upgrades. While it exudes charm and character, it doesn't match the luxurious amenities and opulence of a hotel. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries about our property!
