About this property

Escape to BEAUTIFUL Northern Michigan!!

Enjoy the sunrise each morning at this comfortable family cottage, located at the west end of Big Platte Lake with 100' of sunny, sandy beach front. Located down a beautiful, private wooded road - away from all traffic and noise.

Lake gradually deepens, so there is plenty of shallow water for safe play. Very special location - at the end of a private cul-de-sac backed by beautiful woods.

Cottage has brand new kitchen and has an open dining/living room floor plan great for family gatherings. Kitchen is fully equipped to cook for your party! There is charcoal grill for any outdoor cooking you might have!

This cottage is lovingly family-owned and maintained. In 2021 we completely replaced the kitchen. The cottage is comfortable and clean, but the star of this property is its location and private frontage on Platte Lake. Arguably the best spot on the lake!

* Pontoon is family owned and is not available for use or rent. * Additional pet fee of $100 per pet.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
I have been coming "Up North" my whole life. As a child I played on the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, climbed the dunes, and splashed in the rivers and lakes that grace the area. As an adult, I now watch my two girls enjoy the same magical experiences of my childhood. I manage two properties in the area - one on Platte Lake and one on Good Harbor. My passion is to help you and your family/friends enjoy the stunning beauty that is Northern Michigan.

Why they chose this property

- classic "Up North" cottage with brand new kitchen and appliances
- all-sports Platte Lake
- cottage is at the end of the cul de sac
- private & spacious grassy yard
- sandy beach with 100 feet of private frontage
- shallow entry into the lake for safe & fun kid play
